Clearly, civil liberties are overrated:
The FBI illegally collected more than 2,000 U.S. telephone call records between 2002 and 2006 by invoking terrorism emergencies that did not exist or simply persuading phone companies to provide records, according to internal bureau memos and interviews. FBI officials issued approvals after the fact to justify their actions.
Yeah, the Fourth Amendment right to privacy is overrated…
As if that wasn’t predictable. How does that saying go…? “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”…or something like that…
That seems very low.
Agreed. I wouldn’t be at all shocked if the real number was much higher.
