FBI Gives Its Agents More Police Powers, Despite Previous Abuses

#4  This wouldn't worry me if I thought they would use this new breathing room to go after the worst, most violent offenders.
But they wont, they'll be using their new surveillance and search powers to bust college kids for smoking pot at a party or sending the SWAT team to another student loan defaulter's house.
In short, I don't believe for a second that they will quit picking the low lying fruit of minor offenders, both profitable in fines and easy to do
for idiots with a badge.

#2  I'm just wondering how much farther Americans are willing to let this police state go before something really bad happens.

And I mean besides the wrong house raids and the innocent shootings. More like a small firefight between men that are sick of the police brutality and the SWAT forces.
