| Message | What happened to warrants? What happened to presumption of innocence? These very bases of our justice system and civil rights are pushed aside, and for what? The facade of security? The risk we have here is not from some unknown external threat, but from an overpowered government intruding into the lives of ordinary people without reason. |
