Re: It's another government abuse thread. No wait, it's a technological marvel thread
See that's the thing, people still would like to believe they wont use written laws that way. Even Obama made a statement that his administration would never use it that way and detain US citizens like that. But conveniently enough there's no mention of that in the law and the law itself is so ambiguous you can use technicalities to imprison anyone since there's not even a defined criteria into the law.
Even further, if you are already being suspicious and fulfilling the criteria (which again, no one even knows what it is) to be labeled a "terrorist" why not simply charge you and trial you so you can also have the chance to defend yourself? Why do you need to be detained indefinitely, without any type of legal representation and potentially subjected to torture or "enhanced interrogation" as they call it for no other reason other than someone suspecting you may have ties to terrorism, whether it's real suspicion or made up? Because if they had any sort of evidence we would go back to the part where they don't want to charge you but skip the legal system altogether.
That's 3rd world laws and enforcement right there.
And armed drones are part of the program, it isn't just surveillance. Not only that, but cameras, choppers, and others are subject to transparency laws that do not apply to drones right now. And if people doesn't demand them they wont be implemented, not to mention corporate drones are also on the way.
Etc. etc.
You need to stop thinking the Government would never do this or that, because they will and they have. And you don't need to believe the theorists, just go and read the laws just like you did with SOPA/PIPA.
PS >And in case anyone is wondering why I'm paying so much attention to the US. It is because if the US goes down the path of a Fascist Corporate state Mexico (and maybe even Canada) is next. The plans to come help us with our cartel problems have been in the oven for years now.
