P.A.T.R.I.O.T

By Miles Armstrong · June 23, 2005 ·

Following september the 11th, the USA passed an act allowing the secret services huge amounts of freedom over the various ways they collect information on suspects. This act, called the P.A.T.R.I.O.T act allows the secret services access to literally billions of phone, medical, financial and student records with very little judicial oversight. It also broadens their power over internet and phone surveillance.They will have permission to perform searches without warrants and without ever informing the subject of their search. The Act will allow Attorney General’s to detain any non-citizen and deny them a writ of habeas corpus. A writ of habeas corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he should be released from custody. The measures this act goes to to ensure the saftey of the USA are unecessary and the country is loosing its freedom more and more with every passing day.
