what do u think of government surveillance and control?

Question

pro/con?

Answer 1

If it were directed at a known threat, enemy or potential enemy then, fine.

As far as using it on the general public, I find that to be extremely paranoid and a violation of a citizen's privacy.

It really doesn't matter though; they're going to do as they please because they know that they can.

Perhaps the better question here is "How long are we going to put up with their tyranny?"

Answer 2

Government surveillance and control is the beginning of a hedonistic dictatorship wherein the people are subject to the whim of the leadership. It marks the very first step in the formation of a police state where citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent. -RKO- 11/24/07

Answer 3

Only if they will let themselves be under surveillance and control by those they are surveilling and controling.
Otherwise, I would say I do not like it or want it.
It is not the freedom that was fought for.

Answer 4

Terrible. There are no pros to it. Never let the government control you like a product.

Answer 5

It is not government it is tyranny. A government is to be an instrument of rule for the people. Anything else is barbarism.

Answer 6

Personally it wouldn't bother me even a little bit because I abide by the law, am not a terrorist, don't seek to try and overthrow the government, etc.,.

Answer 7

I think its a violaion of our privacy...BUT..it CAN be useful..if used correctly like to moniter suspected criminals and terrorists..they dont deserve privacy.

Answer 8

I'm almost afraid to answer this because I fear governmental retribution for it. How's that?

Answer 9

I'm for it. If you're a terrorist, you're on the s.h.i.t. end if a stick, if not, you're not going to know that your privacy is invaded (except if you hear a ****), then you're phucked!
