Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover ""domestic,"" as opposed to international, terrorism. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act ""dangerous to human life"" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping. Additionally, the acts have to occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States and if they do not, may be regarded as international terrorism.
Ok Mr it Dont effect me, how about this headline grab ya?
Patriot Act: Sold as Fighting Terrorists, Act is Used in Marijuana-Smuggling InvestigationThe Seattle Times: Local News: Marijuana smuggling case first local use of Patriot Act provisionYou see the TV ads, calling marijuana users, growers, and dealers terrorists right?
well COD it sounds like the MAN has totally PUNKED you along with them 14 yr old kids..Sorry to hear about your charges.. I really hope for your sake you dont get a 3rd strike..You just keep saying this shit dont effect you, and Im ONLY trying to show you it does, it effects us all.. IN many more ways then you could imagine.. So you say you are not a terrorist, and I have showed you you dont have to be a muslim suicide bomber to get pinched by the patriot act..ANYONE can be nailed by it.. IF then do see fit to use the patriot act, YOU can BE shipped to a prison OUTSIDE the USA, and held FOREVER, with NO trial!!The patriot act IS supposed to be a tool for hunting dangerous terrorists.. NOW its getting USED on US citizens FOR nothing more then marijuana.. AND alot of other cases of it being used in NON terrorist cases too.. I only looked up the mary jane because this is the theme which has brought us all together on this part of the internet..IT can and will be used in other cases that are NOT terrorist related, and thats fucking BULLSHIT.. AND IS HIGHLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ILLEGAL, and IMMORAL..Being a felon you MUST know abit about warrents, and unlawful searches..WELL NOW they DONT need ANY probabale cause.. They can be tipped off, and search your house when you are NOT even home.. THEY can then steal or take ANY evidence, and use it against you.. OR they can do it when you at home.. Its all legal now..You ever see the movie Se7en?? Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey? Moragn Freeman knew a guy at the FBI who illegally crossed library refferences to find out who checked out certin books.. THIS is NOW ALSO legalIf the movie Morgan Freeman and Pitt were then shot at, and Pitt says that they can then enter the mans house.. Freeman then says HE CANT.. BECAUSE they got the information illegally.. It would be grounds for a mistrialWell till the patriot act this was true.. NOW for WHATEVER reason they see fit, or got your name they can then investigate EVERY aspect of your life.. Use ANY means to get that information and use it against you..So say someday Marijuana is completely considered a "terrorist's tool" or whatever, they COULD then come to places like THIS, and THROW ANY and ALL who are within their boarders in the slammer.. and THERES nothing you can do about it.. PROXY or NO proxy, then CAN dig as deep as they want into the logs, IPs etc find you and jail you.. UNLESS people stand up for their constitutional rights this WILL only get worse, and snowball into a HUGE means to jail whoever they see fit..Not only to pot smokers.. MAybe you like to goto Conspiracy sites, and talk about how the CIA funds both sides of all wars the US gets its nose into.. Then they deem this kind of discussiuon "unpatriotic, subversive, or harmful to others" They could then lable you a "terrorist" and use the patriot act against you..REMEMBER what did BUSH say?? You are either with us or with the terrorists.. So NOW mary jane has been lumped under a terrorist classification group.. WHATS next?? WHOS NEXT???
