Going to a judge for a warrant is not a "secret law." The intelligence community is legally barred from collecting on US persons anyway, and they also DGAF about petty crime, because they have more important national security-related fish to fry.

Only for their made-up definition of the word "collecting", which in some cases is "retrieving the data which we have already collected and stored".
