In the discussion thread: Police Can Record Video Inside Your Home Without A Warrant, Appeals Court Says [View all]

32. Nor do I ...

I completely agree that We D. People, in the pursuit of "security and safety", or is it complatency, have given far too much power to L/E. While I am largely unaffected by these issues, because I do not engage in criminal activity, there is nothing stopping us from sliding down that slippery slope to McCarthy style political hunts.

Additionally, as We D. People surrender more and more power to non-human people, i.e., corporations, and the blending of corporate powers with traditional L/E, I think this corporate intrusions will soon be an issue to be reckoned with.

BTW, from what I've read ... Would I be correct in assuming that you are an attorney, or otherwise connected to the law?
