That's why we elect judges to restrain the law and to make judgements as to when someone is reasonably a suspect for further investigation. The government has no right to gather personal information when an individual is not suspect and there is no warrant to gather the information.

For instance, when a police officer performs a traffic stop, they have no right to search the vehicle simply due to a traffic violation. They may observe what is clearly visible through the windows, but that's where their right to search ends. If they were to open a trunk and find criminal evidence, it would be inadmissible because they did not have the authority to search it. Due process must be followed.

I'm not involved in any criminal activity, so I would not likely be a suspect. There would be no reason to subpoena my Google searches.

Perhaps someday the government (people) will become corrupt and declare freedom of speech illegal and then use that as cause to subpoena my Google searches and proceed with criminal prosecution against me. If that happens, I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to stand up for the freedom to think (which is what the First Amendment is about, and protected by the Second Amendment), and I won't slink into the shadows and hide in a totally corrupt and dangerous society.

My responsibility to resist evil exceeds all other responsibilities, even to preserving my own life. The threat of death is merely physical, whereas evil threatens the meaning of life, which is far more dangerous than death. Abiding in evil is worse than death. Just think, would it be worse to be a Nazi SS murderer, or to simply be dead?
