Abuse of Authority

Our civil liberties protect us from government interference and abuse of authority by government agents.

Unfortunately abuse is not as rare as it should be. Here is a case study of government agents abusing their authority:

• A uniformed police officer gains entry to a class room and photographs student projects.

For more information on abuse of authority and other issues, please visit the ACLU's Keep America Safe and Free Campaign. Please become a member of the ACLU and visit the Action Center to get active. Freedom cannot defend itself.
