This would be all good if it only applied to terrorism investigations. As years go by I’m sure this will be used to incriminate people against virtually anything, such as downloading music for example.
This is a ‘Pandora’s box’ that shouldn’t be opened IMO. If there are suspected terrorist communication’s, then by all means get the records after judicial process. Giving the ISPs a blank check with regard to monitoring our activities will not lead to a good end.
You are correct. If there’s truly a terrorist threat, there should be a no problem getting the proper warrants to spy. This bill allows the ability to spy on anyone for anything, with no judicial review. It’s a threat to the separation of powers and it’s just saddening seeing so many supposed conservatives on this board cheering the further erosion of liberty. If people really think it will be used only to combat terrorism, they’re terribly naive.
“If there are suspected terrorist communication’s, then by all means get the records after judicial process.”
How long did the previous judicial process take and how would you insure that important intel isn’t missed during this process?
“Giving the ISPs a blank check with regard to monitoring our activities will not lead to a good end.”
Why would the government need to grant such a thing? It is the equiptment of the ISP and they can monitor any communications they wish.
