Link to a legitimate news story showcasing a civil acts violation in the United States as a result of the PATRIOT ACT. Good luck.
posted on April 17, 2005 12:40 AMTo date, not one court or congressional committee has found evidence of any abuse of the powers under the Patriot Act.
Not one civil action has been filed against the government under Section 223, which allows citizens to seek damages for any willful violations of the Act.
