Funny how you all are telling this guy off for saying that yet every time I have fought against the Patriot Act and potential domestic spying that is the exact answer I get from you. Hypocrites.

"I know a lot of people are concerned about Big Brother, but my response to that is, if you are not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?" Chief Harold Hurtt told reporters Wednesday at a regular briefing.

Yeah.  I noticed the disconnect, too.  Maybe this is a more individualistic group of posters.

All this surveillance may be necessary, but I want the watchers closely watched, and I want these laws and ordnances under some kind of rigorous sunset provision.

The law is not always for the protection of the people.  Sometimes it work simply to make the law's job easier and profitable.

Funny how no one had refuted what I said. I was expecting to get flamed. Perhaps they see that I am right. I have bookmarked this thread for reposting when I get this same argument thrown at me for fighting against the Patriot Act. Sunset clauses are great yet I have hardly seen the government ever give back powers it has received.
