If the Patriot Act is successful at stopping terrorist attacks, why are some Americans against it? They want citizens to give up more privacy rights for the country’s protection. The government keeps records of a host of personal information on Americans. Many citizens do not believe law enforcement agencies should be allowed to swap information. They want laws that give the government more power to imprison people.

Some Americans are against the Patriot Act because The government keeps records of a host of personal information on Americans

Explanation:

The Patriot Act is a piece of legislation that was passed in 2011 by the US government to help prevent and combat terrorism.

Under this act, the American security agencies are allowed to wiretap, hack or eavesdrop on personal information without probable cause or warrant by a competent court of law. The official title is “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism,” or USA-PATRIOT.

The Patriot Act violates the Fourth Amendment which requires security agencies to produce a search warrant and showing probable cause that the person they want to monitor has committed or will commit an offence that is against National Security.
