I saw an article awhile ago that the police just straight up bought ad-network data about someone they were prosecuting without needing a warrant. Is there anyway to know what info ad networks have on me out there?

I know there are databrokers you can query to see what they have kn you, but those are all public records from I could find so far

    Greatly depends on where you live. More corrupt states’ officials sell it left and right. I recall cops bootlegging CDs with a base of driver licenses, registry info and what’s not. Guess most of them moved into darkweb\TG now. You may ask those whose life depends on it although they don’t naturally have access, like journos, private investigators or loan-sharks if you know any of those.
