USA Patriot Act
I feel the USA patriot act is a positive thing about american government. Although some argue that it is against our rights of privacy I disagree because I trust our government to not take advantage of this power and truly manipulate this act in a way that is to solely to protect the american population. The recent arrest of the colorado man allegedly planning terrorist activities is a perfect example of a positive action taken by the government to protect the american people. I trust our governments decision making and manipulation regarding the USA patriot act.

personally I dissagree with you Clay. yes, the Patriot act has helped unfoil and tag some dangerous plots, but the fact is that the Govt. does abuse there power. I've watched to many people i know personally have there phones tapped and been screwed over because of it; no warrants, no initial cause. My buddy just got of prob. and had his phone tapped, his buddy used it to make a call and he got taken in because his friend said some things he shouldn't have. i think the abuse of power is what kills this for me. If there wasn't any abuse I would be all for it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Clay I think that this if perfectly ok in most circumstances but as Justin said it could be used when ever and at times could be viewed as an abuse of the power
