Not trusting the government because they have a perpetually anti-freedom mindset is completely fair. Are we supposed to take their every action as piecemeal and then be constantly surprised when they do the wrong thing?

They don't just monitor criminals-- that's why the anti-surveillance folks are anti surveillance! They monitor everyone, and create criminals as needed, and nobody can question them for fear of ending up on the chopping block.

They are currently very far out of hand, and "we the people" are doing somewhere between jack and shit because of how little the people understand the problem.
