USA PATRIOT Act

The U.S.A P.A.T.R.I.O.T Act is by no means an act with a great purpose. And the sole purpose is to secure peace and prevent further attacks on American soil with the citizens. I think it's a great act, that has and can furthermore save american lives, if more of these attacks were planned to be carried out. The act gives the government many branches of agencies immense power to monitor, track and detain anyone they suspect of having relations or planning terroristic acts. 

However, with all the good that seems to come with it. There has to be a limit, sure a lot of the procedures are a necessity but it violates many rights from the Constitution. A fine line should be set that when things are no longer seeming as if it could relate to terrorism, then it should stop. Personal information to that person should never be leaked or used as an advantage. It's worst than identity theft and that's definitely a crime. In other words, this counter-terrorism operation is a privilege and it should be rightfully conducted, not abused by agencies who run whatever they think is right or at their will. The point is to protect not violate people's rights and the constitution. Once again, keep in mind that there are certain necessities that need to be bypassed in order to carry out the operations.
