Undercover cops at your next 4-H/church/homeschool meeting

A group of people decided to have a parade without a permit. The cops sent undercover agents to "infultrate" the group and determine whether or not it posed a threat. If they can do that, why not any other group?

As a country, we have to decide what we want. Do we want to monitor anyone who might possibly commit a crime, or do we want to get all crazy/radical/constitutional and only have our right to privacy invaded when there's a court issued warrant complete with probable cause and all the rest?

Sadly, it seems many prefer the former. Remember, it's for your own good.
