All too often we hear the ridiculous statement from the apologist crowd saying, "If you don't break the law, you have nothing to worry about."
However, that statement couldn't be further from the truth.
Former NSA official William Binney sums this myth up quite accurately, "The problem is, if they think they're not doing anything that's wrong, they don't get to define that. The central government does."
Attorney Harvey Silverglate argues that the average American commits three felonies a day without even knowing it.
In reality, there are too many cases to count of innocent people, some who've been recognized as pillars of society, being attacked and imprisoned by a system which claims to protect them.
When people assert that not breaking the law protects them from police abuse, those of us with our finger on the pulse of this corrupt police state, answer back by stating, "it's only a matter of time before they are proven wrong."
As a point of clarification, it is important to state the difference between hating cops and holding police accountable.
Comment: What an interesting coincidence, that almost at the same time another fire that burned millions of unique documents happened in Moscow.
