Drones are currently flying around major citizens, too high for anyone to even see. Spying on what everyone is doing. Unconstitutionally, Police Officers in New York can pull people over for random pat downs.
For what? Our Safety?
“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”
I am concerned that this is just the beginning, that peoples rights will continue to be taken advantage of and that it will escalate to a level that will be more unconstitutional than it already is. OUR rights is what separates us from other countries, why the U.S. is so great. That is slowly being diminished for our "safety" .
As harsh as it may sound, you let 10 planes crash into buildings. That should not diminish our rights. You can make as many rules as possible to keep safety in check but not at the expense of people's rights. With Freedom comes consequences but that is what the U.S. is.
This is also not a 911 bash. My thoughts go out to everyone and their loved ones who were lost. It was terrible.
Every phone call, text, picture taken is noted, by the government. The government recently paid Verizon for information that many would deem unconstitutional.
I am not anti-government by any means, I am concerned strictly with the our rights, how the constitution has been stretched, and where this could lead in the future.
The Boston bomber was not read his Miranda Rights, does anyone else have a problem with that? Sure he did a horrible things, but he still has rights, the right to an attorney. 10 years ago people were let off on technicalities. This is the start to the government being able to do whatever they want, with anyone.
