The National Security Agency was well aware it was committing violations of surveillance rules, according to newly declassified documents.
The NSA self-reported the violations to a US intelligence court, and promised to enact new safety measures to prevent the violations from recurring.
Despite the acknowledgement, the NSA broke its own rules again in 2009, according to FISA Court documents.
These revelations come after similar ones in September that the NSA broke its own rules and mislead the FISA Court regarding bulk data collection.
RT's Ameera David has the reaction from the FISA Court that the NSA overstepped its boundaries and ignored privacy protections.
