Yes, it's true, every type of law enforcement (from the local sheriff to the arm of the feds that has not been under control of this country for a long time, the CIA) will explore and attempt to use the latest and best technology they can to do what they perceive is 'a good job'.
That the wealthy and powerful don't give a damn about any individual's RIGHTS (except their own which they pay for), is true.
My only advice is that (regardless to your or my opinion of what should or should not be legal) doing multiple illegal things is not the best way to keep law enforcement of the gov't from wanting to snoop on you.
If I misunderstood your point here, just tell me.
