To all freepers who supported the Patriot Bill - you now have a moral obligation to stand up NOW to this abuse of provisions of that bill towards law enforcement efforts that have nothing to do with terrorism.

LOL!! That will be the day. Wait till someone comes along with the "drug use supports terrorism" nonsense. If you could justify supporting the Patriot Act, you can justify anything - including this.

Your point is well taken. However - for the sake of clarification - the law in question here is a state law, not the USA PATRIOT Act.

Which is probably splitting hairs since it appears that most post-9/11 state laws mirror the PATRIOT Act with the added twist that they seem to put a heavy emphasis on restricting the public's access to what were once public records.

IMHO, anyone that supported that legislation is no more Conservative than Jorge Delano Bush is.
