Maybe we should read the patriot act?
I picked the first section on the page you linked- 213:
-Section 213 of the USA Patriot Act allows any branch of the Federal or State Governments to break into your home or business, to remove any items (or place items) they wish without a warrant and without informing the person or business of this total violation of the Fourth Amendment.
-Section 213 of the USA Patriot Act also decapitates the First Amendment protection of Freedom of Speech by forcing silenceon those victimized by their Unconstitutional, warrantless searches.
I don't see where they get "warrantless" searches?
SEC. 213. AUTHORITY FOR DELAYING NOTICE OF THE EXECUTION OF A WARRANT.
--With respect to the issuance of any warrant or court
order under this section, or any other rule of law, to search for and
seize any property or material that constitutes evidence of a criminal
offense in violation of the laws of the United States, any notice
required, or that may be required, to be given may be delayed if--
``(1) the court finds reasonable cause to believe that
providing immediate notification of the execution of the warrant
may have an adverse result (as defined in section 2705);
``(2) the warrant prohibits the seizure of any tangible
property, any wire or electronic communication (as defined in
section 2510), or, except as expressly provided in chapter 121,
any stored wire or electronic information, except where the
court finds reasonable necessity for the seizure; and
``(3) the warrant provides for the giving of such notice
within a reasonable period of its execution, which period may
thereafter be extended by the court for good cause shown.''.
That's it.
Some debate on 213 here.
Maybe interested Zoners could take a controversial section of the patriot act and post some information about it? Might make for good discussion.
Or not.
