The Government will never abuse it’s power to stop you for not wearing a seatbelt.
We see stuff like this, and either say “it won’t happen here because we have the right people in charge”, which is just stupid, or we don’t make the connection between this obvious overreach of power and giving the government more power.

Having been the target of a police hate crime in Glendale, Arizona, I couldn’t agree with you more. We’ve lost much of the freedoms and liberty we used to take for granted before 9/11. The Patriot Act went way too far, a knee-jerk reaction to a terrible tragedy. We need to correct those mistakes and rewrite the law to protect the freedoms our forefathers fought for and were brilliant to codify with the U.S. Constitution. We need to do it soon before our nation forgets what it was like before 9/11 and how different it is now.
