No, the Patriot Act should only garner support once there are constitutional regulations in place, to protect the safety of citizens' privacy and prevent cruel and unusual punishment against immigrants. Searching private homes without a warrant and probable cause is unconstitutional, and should not be a provision of this Act. Any surveillance of citizens' telephone, email, or financial records without a court order should require stringent probable cause. Any criminal evidence found through anti-terrorism investigations should only be used as it relates to terrorism or imminent violent crime, and not to any other type of crime. Further, an oversight government agency should be created to promote proper checks and balances.
