If we take away the tools of law enforcement, it makes them less effective.
I think the majority of FBI agents are honest and decent people who are looking to protect the people of the United States. I almost became an FBI agent myself after college. They were recruiting on my campus for forensic accountants.

I personally think this position is rather pathetic. It shows you have zero concept of equal protection under the laws and that you view government/law enforcement as your caretakers instead of your employees. It shouldn't matter what you think the 'majority' of FBI agents are or not. It also shouldn't matter if it's been an accepted practice as long as you can remember or not. Slavery was an accepted practice for centuries also, did that make it alright?
It is completely illogical to expect fair and equal protection under the laws of the US Constitution and yet provide an exception for law enforcement to break the laws to enforce the laws.
