This is just the latest in a string of Federal, State, and Local government incursion into the fourth Amendment. Note taking data unrelated to your warrant is theft not executing a warrant. As a subscriber to Instapaper (great product, by the way) This really pisses me off. The FBI is now in possession of my data without warrant or cause… Read more »
NOTE: Given the subject matter of this post, I feel compelled to make clear this post in no way reflects the views, opinions, or positions of Brendan.

[Bumped to top. -ed.] In preface, I think I’ve officially become a cranky old man… I don’t have any problem with the short form Census that was sent out earlier in the year. It is a Constitutionally mandated function of the government, and an accurate count of the population is necessary for a number of things. But all they really… Read more »
