I disagree with this statement. It is not the US right to go against our right to privacy unless reasonable cause, as in already having suspisions. People who go about life not threating the government at all have no reason to be checked and have information searched through at all. It's wrong that the government can retreive our information about what we do and things we do at businesses with just sending them a national letter. It is our information and we should be able to say who sees it, and who doesnt.
I totally agree with you. The government shouldn't have this much power. Your Information, about yourself, should be kept to yourself no matter what.
I agree with you but i think the government should be able to invade a little bit because that innocent person could just be the terrorist.
If we limit ourselves on what we can do how are we going to stop these terrorists? Not ever single terrorist is going to be as dumb as the underwear bomber and make it so obvious on their terrorist activitys. I have nothing to hide so i don't mind it. and even if i did they can only use terrorist type activity against me for the security of the US.
i agree with you but i think you should give up a little of freedom if it benefits by saving lifes.
In the movie, they did have reasonable cause. They got a tip that said New York was a place of interest on New years. Which means they had reasonable cause to try and keep the people safe.
Well they had probable cause that there were terrorist that were going to attack.. They just wouldn't be able to use the information they gained against someone else that committed a crime. Wouldn't that let terrorist go free to do what they want and plan as much as they want if the government didn't check it?
i would rather give up some of my privacy if its going to protect the overall safety of the country. if you think about it we more then likely arent the only people collecting data. heck the terrorists could be collecting data on us to plan an attack why not get them before they get us.
