Keep in mind the fact that we USED to require warrants before any type of searches or wiretaps. We only arrived at the point we're in now because our law enforcement agencies needed "legal access" to "keep up with technology". Then FISA judges to expedite approvals. Then PATRIOT. Then we allowed the police to issue their own warrants. Now no warrants at all are required.

Yeah, sure, your cops are only interested in "legal access".

So, since you are obviously worried about privacy, has there been any issues brought up, in recent times, where the authorities have examined emails, phone records, whatever and use the information they gained for something other than their intended purpose? (ex: stealing money from the bank, Identity theft, etc, etc)
