Surveillance Powers Without Privacy Oversight

The provision grants arrest, search, and seizure powers to Authority officers who already control extensive data access mechanisms including production orders (26, 27), computer system searches (28), and 90-day data preservation (30). This concentration creates a surveillance apparatus without independent oversight—the same agency that compels service providers to produce user data can now arrest individuals and conduct searches, all while receiving 50% of criminal fines (9) that incentivize enforcement. Unlike independent police services with established privacy safeguards and judicial oversight, the Authority operates as a regulatory body with no privacy-specific limits on how these powers interact with its data access capabilities.
