Aside from tracking criminals, they can now hack or search the computer of ANYONE using Tor like services or VPN's.

Yep. Look no further at the unholy sh*tstorm of a debacle that is Standing Rock.

US has been a police state for a long time after a little thing called the patriot act We're aware of the creeping socialism, but to use the term "police state" (albeit the word tyranny) is essentially hyperbolic. Overall the United States have the least oppressive regime in the world. Amendment IV is hardly the only provision of the Bill of Rights, Article I Section IX or otherwise to be watered down. All of them have experienced a dip, except for maybe Amendment VIII. Meanwhile the "necessary and proper" clause has been twisted and excruciatingly beefed up.

More people are put in prison in the US then the Soviet Union during the height of the use of GULAG.

More people are put in prison in the US then the Soviet Union during the height of the use of GULAG. They lost their freedom for either committing felonies or confessing to such in plea bargains, but either way they were duly convicted. The people who have not committed crimes are freer as a result.

Yeah but Russia has no blacks so it's skewed AF :3.

According to Rule 41, the only probable cause they need is a computer “concealed through technological means.” IE through the use of Tor like clients or VPN's. It's a blanket warrant here. This will help them track people doing things illegally, but this also will let them track anyone on Freedom websites.

And there is no way they won't use this to track every single person they possible can, regardless of whether they're doing something illegal.
