Dear Mankind,
Did you know that warrantless surveillance is allowed by the law of the United States? This is in fact a direct violation of the US Constitution, in that these warrantless searches, under FISA, not only of foreigners in the US, but also foreigners abroad, and even citizens domestic and abroad! The Fourth Amendment states that no searches can be conducted, nor persons and houses intruded upon, papers nor effects seized, without a warrant and only with reason. If warrantless surveillance is allowed without due process, then every amendment can be violated, life, liberty, and property - and the idea of being innocent before being proven guilty, imbued in the writings of these amendments, also violated.
The whole Constitution may be violated.
For when surveillance is conducted without warrant, a feature of imprisonment, a major one, has already been placed upon a man. This law must be repealed, not only because of these reasons but also because those who oppose this law will be likely surveilled and accused for trying to repeal it! Further, those who surveil will go to the heights of obstructing justice and manipulating evidence to prove to some degree that the person being violated by surveillance has some sort of criminal activity. For if not, which I imagine most cases are not, there is serious political and vocational and criminal repercussions - even jail time. Fully knowing this, those who surveil will do whatever it takes to extend the watch and the investigation to whatever end to criminalize the victim of this violatory allowance and law - thereby guaranteeing every form of abuse, from political abuse to psychiatric and also criminal.
Yours,
Rabbi not Rabbi
