Before the Patriot Act they could subpoena your phone records if you were under suspicion of certain types of activities no?

The point is that the government almost never does any of this right, so they're going to subpoena some records of a guy that never did anything wrong and force him to go to court to defend himself.
I mean, if the cop is hellbent on giving you a ticket, either you go to court and fight it, knowing the judge will subpoena your records to prove the case, or you just be a good drone for the government and pay the $200 fine.
