http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_PATRIOT_Act
This site offers a very comprehensive look into the patriot act; anyone interested in learning more about it should give this a read.
Some of the changes the Act brought about include:
- Giving the law enforcement the rights to look into e-mail and telephone lines, and medical and financial records as well.
- Gave Secretary of State more power with financial relations
- Enhanced power of law enforcement to detain immigrants
- And gave police the right to search homes without a warrant
These are just some of the changes made, all of which take away from our civil liberties that are supposed to be undenyable according to the Constitution.
