"As Long As You're Not Doing Anything Wrong, You Have Nothing To Worry About"
I agree that this "if you're doing nothing wrong, there's nothing to worry about" is bullshit. The whole reason for privacy laws is that a certain degree of activism must be allowed within a democratic society. If somebody breaks the law to a severe enough degree so as to make people outside themselves aware of it, then the cops can jump on their ass. But when it comes to things like the right to consume weed or other entheogens, the right to have gay sex in your own home, the right to worship some diety that may be very unpopular, these are not things that society universally agrees upon. And as such, in a democratic society I believe we have a right to live against what the law sets as actions which are "allowed" when they do not represent the full spectrum of the people. Laws are set to appease the majority because it results in the most number of people being appeased, but the rights of minorities cannot then be thrown out the window. This is what leads to injustices like 48% of a state wanting weed legal, but still being suppressed and persecuted because a slightly larger portion of the populace disagrees with their lifestyle. Protection of minority rights has unfortunately always been a key problem in democracies, which is why they need to become considerably more proportionate in their representation (as is every-so-slowly happening).
Just a note though, this is getting a big rediculous that the only sites cited with these types of articles are PrisonPlanet and InfoWars. I mean come on, there are other sources out there, and ones that aren't so clearly biased. If we want a daily report on what Inforwars is raving about, we'll visit their site.
