You used to have freedom of speech now if you even wear a T-shirt the government doesn't like they can put you in jail.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nYou used to have the right to freedom from search unless a search warrant is issued. Now the police can come into your home and take what they want and not tell you till 2 weeks later, if they tell you at all. They don't even have to knock on the door before they barge in.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIf arrested you used to have the right to a jury trial and to be told what you have done wrong and appointed council. Now you can be labeled an \"enemy combatant\" or terrorist and be placed in jail with no trial, no lawyer, nothing for as long as they want.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nYou used to have the right to privacy. Now they have cameras everywhere watching you.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nYou used to have the rights to not be spied on by anyone while on the phone or the internet. You also used to have the rights to your bank records being held private. Now the government can just go through your bank record data and monitor your financial transactions without question and without even telling you. WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
