we have reached the point where now at any point in the future they can trace anyone backwards for months without a warrant (and without probable cause)

they can pick a person and then just look for a crime to prosecute since most people break laws daily without realizing it

Nah, they won't prosecute for a crime. People accused of crimes have these pesky things called rights.

They'll find some civil infraction to threaten you with. You'll be cast into a kangaroo system where the deck is stacked against you, you have no presumption of innocence, no right to not self incriminate, you have nearly no right to see let alone question the evidince against you. And of course the civil infraction will have some absurd dollar figure attached thanks to all the useful idiots who think that the fine "needs to be a deterrent".
