Is the Patriot Act really Patriot?

We watched a video where a mother was telling what has happened to her son. She was asking herself the same question; is this act in our favor or against us? The Patriot Act saw the light right after the 9 11 attack. Most people say that this act has more power than the Bill of Rights.

This act gives the police to arrest anybody that is not white or have a different accent, also, listens to the population conversations, among other things. It is imperative that the government comes out with something to ensure that this act will really protect the U.S and its citizens.
