Should The U.S. House Vote To Extend Provisions In Patriot Act.
U.S. Patriot Act was introduced to House of Representatives on October 23, 2001 as a response to September 11 Attacks. It was introduced by Jim Sensenbrenner, a Conservative Republican who sought to decrease some of national restrictions on law forces such as FBI and CIA. This bill has been controversial in many ways as many people criticized it for its extra loose laws that allow police, CIA, and FBI wiretap people, start surveillance without District Attorney-s approval, look up personal information, and much more. U.S. Patriot Act should be eliminated from our laws as it gives government extra powers on people to commit acts that used to be illegal at one point and should immediately enforce laws for government law agencies.
As mentioned above, this law gives provisions to FBI to look up into personal stuff of an individual without asking him/ her. According to U.S. Patriot Act 215 panel FBI can browse library records and look up the books that one has checked out through time. In addition, the same thing can be done with other personal records as well. For a U.S. citizen this is a worrisome factor in a daily life as it does not let citizen have liberty of U.S. constitution.
All in all, U.S. Patriot Act should be ceased immediately as it restricts citizens of basic right of liberty.Still bored? Click to continue: Microsoft reveals European cloud data is vulnerable to U.S. Patriot Act
