Members Ben J Posted May 23, 2012 Members Share Posted May 23, 2012 Never felt more unsafe in my life, and the blame for that is placed squarely on the government and law enforcement. (I'm not a criminal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted May 23, 2012 Members Share Posted May 23, 2012 Someone needs to bring this up in the debates, constantly. Good luck. The only two candidates that would do it would be Ron Paul or Gary Johnson, and don't expect either one of them to be given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nightflameauto Posted May 23, 2012 Members Share Posted May 23, 2012 It's just a matter of time before it's a legal requirement to record your every waking moment, just in case you do something Big Brother doesn't want you doing.

Not necessarily yours, but somebody's property, without warrant or just cause. And they'll very likely get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
