The only practical way to do this will be to make use of the existing, fully-deployed and very personally invasive surveillance infrastructure now sitting in your pocket (or under your cat)https://twitter.com/mlipsitch/status/1243351925229223937 …
It can be done with or without Congressional action. You could set it up at the state level, or run it entirely on the private industry side if necessary. The data is basically unregulated. Obviously legislation would be far more preferable.

The question is is the electorate ready for that? How would they react if it was done completely privately? Do you think states might move to ban it?

They've accepted far more invasive privacy violations without a peep. I don't think there would be any political backlash unless this got sucked into the polarization meat grinder, which is quite possible.

Is there a way to stop this? Law enforcement, skip tracers, all sorts of people will also be using this data, legally or not. Making it inadmissible, its use subject to fines and imprisonment, an in-code destruction would make me feel better. (I'm retired mom, have no power)
