I don't know what everyone is moaning about. This no worse what banks or financial institutions have to do. A cop can go to a judge and request to crawl up your arse with a pair of tweezers to do a proper search if they need to. Its what they do to investigate crime. The internet isn't some special magical place that is exempt from investigation, so the banks have to keep data, the ISPs have to keep data too. |

This is why people who make a lot know how to avoid this system with depositing the cash in a certain way without making an alarm go off. Right now there is a law that just came up this year saying that if you deposit over a certain amount in a certain amount of time they have the right to pull up all transaction history, and for most people out there the bank charges you a fee for them doing that. Truly they should charge the government. |

It is without question a burden to the police that they may not freely seize evidence, intercept phone calls or detain people without probable cause, but this is a "burden" that every constitutional democracy must accept as a fundamental requirement to safeguard the rights of its citizens. If we give up civil liberties, then tell me, what exactly is there left to fight for? We may as well be China. |
