What does the patriot Act actually entail?

By tascerUSA  

I see alot of people on here saying that under the patriot act laws every American is a criminal, is this true?
So, let me get this right, if the powers that be think you MIGHT commit a crime, you are considered guilty. And are you guys not worried about this?

It is an Act of Congress that President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001. The acronym stands for: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001

What are some examples of the Patriot Act working?

    Gives law enforcement "freedom" to look at any electronic message you do without your permission, or warrant.

    They can tap your phone, read your email, check what websites you go to, what your bank statements are, etc., etc.. etc….and hold that information indefinitely.

    All in the name of your protection.
