The USA PATRIOT Act is an acronym for “United and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act”. That is a really long name for a really bad act. The USA PATRIOT Act, no matter how noble the title sounds, is bad any way that you look at it.
The act has many “Problem Sections”. One that is extremely bad is Section 215. This gives the law enforcement officials the right to go in and look at ANY records of yours. This includes medical, finical, book store, library, and many more. It puts a gag order on the person that gives the information, so as such, they can tell NOONE that the records were searched, on the threat of jail time. The person that was searched is not notified for a reasonable time. This can be made into forever if law enforcement feels that it is reasonable.
Many different groups oppose the USA PATRIOT Act. This is a list of some and links to there websites to go and do your own research on.
