> You mean being put on a restricted rights/law enforcement attention list with no due process?

What novel 'due process' do you believe is necessary for the police to unintrusively start investigating someone?

We already require judge-issued warrants for intrusive investigations (Searching your things, tapping your phone lines, arresting you, etc).

I don't believe there's any country in the world that requires a judge to review the police putting you on a list as a person of interest. I am no legal scholar, so I should probably cut myself off right here - but do you not think that perhaps, there is a valid reason for this? You're inventing novel legal practices without precedent, here.
