So what's the beef? Everyone is belly-aching about the police just going out and surveilling everyone. Your quote says it all, authorities have to go before a *three-judge panel*! Not the Chief of Police or the FBI....Judges! That's a check and balance, the cops cannot do what they please.----- Original Message -----From: Duane NickullTo: Duane NickullCc: Brian Varine ; CRIME listSent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 6:21 PMSubject: Re: [Re: CRIME Wiretapping WiFi]Quote from the article written by a respected right wing publication:
"The Patriot Act allows authorities to go before a three-judge panel and get permission to secretly search the homes of suspected terrorists. It also allows a court to authorize subpoenas of library loan records and bookstore receipts of suspected terrorists, as well as allowing law enforcement seek "John Doe" roving wiretaps and nationwide search warrants."
Definition of a terrorist anyone???
