I didn’t like it when it was first enacted and I don’t like it now.

As a matter of fact, I love that tech companies are enacting encryption that they themselves are unable to breech. Good for them! Law enforcement agencies always want more data. They assume that one more small piece of data will give them the necessary tool to break a case. It usually never happens. Further information from someone’s cell phone only leads to information they either already had or could more easily obtain from good old detective work.

These agencies need to get over their desire for private data, especially from US citizens. They don’t need it and they shouldn’t have it. They need to look at the issue as a privacy right they should be protecting, not destroying.
 
all electronic communications of all Americans are under constant surveillance and are permanently stored so security agencies can look through them whenever an urge strikes

This should scare the pants off of each and every one of us! Even when we aren’t doing anything questionable, the very idea that they seem to know when we pick our noses (cameras) points in the direction of an eventual police state.

We all know how easy it can be to misunderstand or misinterpret things that are said in an e-mail or text, or posted on a forum board. That’s how the innocent become entrapped. And with all the power-hunger that’s out there, now, they’re looking for ways to get people.

Do we REALLY WANT to live in a police state?
