I agree with the Patriot Act, because it allows the government to better protect the citizens of the united states. The Patriot Act allows law enforcement to use surveillance to stop terrorist attacks. Many people think that it invades their privacy but if they aren't doing anything wrong why should they care. They only do surveillance and data mining to protect the safety of people. It is stated in the Constitution that it is the governments job to protect the citizens of the united states, therefore people shouldn't mind the surveillance sense it is part of protecting us. I think that if we were to get rid of the Patriot Act we'd have more terrorist attacks and the country wouldn't be as safe as it is now. The patriot act allows the government to obtain a search warrant for suspected terrorists. It also allows them to help victims of computer hacking, by monitoring the hacker. The Patriot Act stops the harboring of terrorists in the united states. The government would not have been able to stop other terrorist attacks like 9/11 if we did not have the Patriot Act. Besides its not like the government is paying attention to you every second of everyday, they may monitor you if they find something you are doing to be suspicious. I don't think that it violates the fourth amendment because we as people of the united states granted the government the right to protect us, therefore we for the most part gave them the right to search records to find suspected terrorists.
I do believe with the your statement because there is security and i'd rather have nobody dead because the government prevented something from happening. However, for surveillance and monitoring to go that far as to make citizens feel that uncomfortable is just not right. It's invading everyone's privacy. How would you like it if someone watched your every move or watched after you the entire day? I've had creepers before watch me while i'm at work, i don't need the government creeping on me or anyone else's daily activities.
they arent going to watch your every move they will only watch you if you seem supisious to them. they dont have the time to watch every single person. becides i would rather they monitor us then our country to be bombed or hit by a plane again.
I agree with you. Our government can protect us with this act. Privacy isn't more important than your life.
