all human beings should be allowed to record their thoughts and communicate without those thoughts being surveilled. What is so different in 2018 that the ability to think and communicate in secret is somehow a threat to law enforcement? Law enforcement has always had to work hard to crack a case. Now that computers exist, they want to have a comprehensive record of everything that's ever been uttered, retroactively play back anything that the authority deems inappropriate, and make arrests on that basis. It is fascism in a can. There could be no clearer indication that political protections are inadequate to safeguard this than the current president, who has run amok without legal consequence (to date). I cannot understand how any thoughtful person can support anything more invasive than hard police work and a warrant... any legal case can be cracked with human tools, because no criminal operation has 100% operational security. The need to spy on the thoughts of innocence is an insane price for any extra crime fighting ability we get on top of this.
