Yeah, they just step around due process and use parallel construction to throw people in jail who they couldn't actually prosecute. That makes the destruction of our privacy ok, I guess.

If they can nail you for a felony w/ parallel construction, and you've legitimately acted in a wrongful way, I'd be fine with that.
