"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government purposes are beneficent...The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning, but without understanding."
-- Louis Brandeis, Associate Justice of the US supreme Court, 1928

It's from his dissent to the Court's decision in Olmstead vs United States, in which, I believe, the Court upheld convictions gotten based on telephone wire-taps. Olmstead was the leader of a bootlegging gang in Seattle, Washington, by the way.
