(14,177 posts)For the working poor it's been a reality since the inception of this country. For minorities it's a daily thing. For people who have lost ground economically it's becoming a reality if it isn't already their new reality. Some working people are monitored all day by their bosses and that includes doing some things that are not illegal in their off time. IE some jobs you get fired if you smoke even if it's at home. Facebook is being monitored by LEOs so what you do at home on your time can put you on a list. Unless you are the 1% there really isn't anything to protect you from making the wrong person angry and ending up in legal trouble. The best you can hope for is to lay low and not make waves. Or make some waves, but you better be very well educated on knowing your rights.
