"Have you ever attended a protest? Have you ever taken a photo of a bridge or subway car?

"Disturbing new information obtained by the ACLU of California confirms warnings the ACLU has made for years that if your day-to-day life has seemed suspicious to anyone at all, there’s a chance a record of your name and the offending activity may appear in the government’s massive national database of Suspicious Activity Reports.
