5. When do you feel civil liberties are infringed upon? Can you give another example of "fringing" on your civil liberties?

I feel like civil liberties are infringed upon when we are not allowed to say something, but yet the First Amendment say we have freedom of speech. Another example of finging on civil liberties is not being able to do anything without feeling like someone, somewhere, is watching you.
