There are many religious organizations that may or may not have ties to terrorist activities. Is there a right to associate with people, some of whom may advocate criminal activity?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Answers may vary: The First Amendment protects freedom of association, even if some of the known associates are criminals (unless an offender is on probation or parole and can be restricted from associating with known criminals). Under the law, there is no guilt by association. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, particularized suspicion is required for the government to suspect one of criminal activity.
