There is so much controversy surrounding this issue it’s hard for me to form a solid opinion. Like most people I do not like the fact that the government now has the right to track my every online move. This isn’t because I’m a terrorist trying to hide a secret plot to destroy America, it’s because I’m a tax paying citizen who believes that I’m entitled to my privacy. Now the Act says that they will track suspected terrorist, but I have yet to see any diabolical plots foiled via the Patriot Act. In theory it might seem like a good idea, “yeah let’s invade everybody’s privacy online, surely we’ll catch some terrorist there!” It seems silly, but maybe one day the Patriot Act will be the reason that a massive terrorist act is stopped. Granted it does offer other “benefits” such as harsher penalties and punishments for new crimes, but is it worth the privacy of the American public? Not only that but the process of checks and balances is thrown off, the government is trying to do too much and becoming too powerful. In the end in would seem logical that the government enacted the Patriot Act was for a reason to further protect the people of the United States, and as we all know the government always has the publics best interest in mind……
