War on drugs leads to poor people losing privacy.



"...Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway - and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements..."

1984 is finally here, unless you are wealthy enough to have a fence indicating that the surrounding area of your home, your driveway and front lawn, are your private area, if not then it's open to government agencies to come in and put a GPS signal on your car to track your every movement. The war on marijuana has led to us losing our privacy.

  1. Good post fam. We should post an article on here regarding all the rights we have lost since the inception of the patriot act.
    The worst part about this is that the government does NOT need a search warrant to execute this procedure.
    So, the feds can tap your phone, track your web browsing history, and now can track our car. I mean, they can already use cell phone devices to do that but it is a slap in the face of anyone that is not rich ("people who protect their homes with electric gates, fences and security booths have a large protected zone of privacy around their homes. People who cannot afford such barriers have to put up with the government sneaking around at night.")
    Seriously, this is their justification? "The judges veered into offensiveness when they explained why Pineda-Moreno's driveway was not private. It was open to strangers, they said, such as delivery people and neighborhood children, who could wander across it uninvited."

    You know what's funny? It's a federal crime to tamper with someone's mail, but it's absolutely legal for the same government that enforces this law to tamper with your automobile.

    I blame Tiger Woods' adultery for this new tactic used by the government *straight face* (you didn't expect that)
