And the slippery slope went vertical: Public 
advocate: FBI’s use of PRISM surveillance data is unconstitutional:
The judge noted that there was no statutory requirement that all activities involving PRISM data serve “solely a foreign intelligence requirement.” He said that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, 
which covers PRISM, “expressly requires” that the government permit the retention of data that is evidence of a crime regardless of whether it relates to foreign intelligence or national security.

I cannot tell you how annoyed it makes me that current events are making David Brin look like a prophet. 
If we don't do something about this shit FAST we are going to end up with a world where only the rich and the powerful are afforded privacy; which is EXACTLY the opposite of what it should be.
