I have no idea what "Now as long as all the paperwork and we have judicial over site, I'm happy." means, but FTA:The software tracking can be "conducted without a wiretap warrant, because internet users have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in the data when using the internet"That means no paperwork and no judicial over site for this. Still happy?

Too bad any lawyer with an ounce of knowledge could probably get all evidence thrown out of court due to this obviously highly illegal way of gathering the information. ^_^Little s**ts are annoying, but using illegal methods of catching them isn't much better.

I agree with the comment that if the people are free to use the internet any way they like, the government is free to use it any way they like. Wanna race?

It could also be like a panda walking through your unlocked door and he decides to jump kick you in the belly?

the government is not free to do what it likes you f**king moron, it is only allowed to do what the Constitution specifically specifies. The rest of the powers go to the states, or the people, NOT the FBI.
