BREAKING: SCOTUS Decision Weakens 4th Amendment Protections

[mostlyconfused]

106. Seems similar to the NSA spying, or other government intrusion in our lives

In the context of this specific incident (Fernandez v CA), you can make an argument in favor of the police having that power because you want to see the abused person protected. In the case of an individual corresponding with known terrorists with the intent to commit a crime, you can argue in favor of the NSA being able to monitor and record their activities because we want them stopped.

While it may sound compelling in those situations, the issue is how law enforcement, the government, etc can abuse that same power in any other situation.

If you don't commit a robbery or abuse, in theory you should have no fear of the police showing up at your door asking to do a search. If your phone communications, emails, social media connections, etc are all innocent, in theory you should have no fear of the NSA collecting what it is collecting.
