[QUOTE="Headbanging%20Man:1172475"]I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if, when the staties come up short on quotas, they can simply stop by their local fusion center and pull some drug-related calls out of the database to make a few quick busts. Obviously small fish are always small fish, but the Patriot Act has already been used plenty outside the bounds of "terrorism"... Spying on political dissidents primarily, but also some larger scale drug/organized crime cases, if I remember correctly. Point is, it's a weapon in the hands of the Feds, generally shared willingly with local authorities, and once you put that kind of weapon in the hands of authoritarians, they WILL abuse it. And have since it's been passed. Any pretense of the weapon being aimed solely at "terrorists" is viewed by the law enforcement community as, at best, a loose suggestion.[/QUOTE]
