Taking it and doing
what with it?
Are you as upset about radar guns in police hands? Traffic Cameras? Big city community surveillance systems? How about all the measures to keep track of you and the things you purchase in stores? Life today includes many such "invasions" of our privacy, it is how the collected information is used that can become a problem.
For instance: Police fly over your community and use infrared radar on their helicopters. They often spot heat signatures that lead them to pot growers and meth labs. It can also be used, if very lucky, to locate an abducted child. But, if it were used to justify a warrant to confiscate property under the RICO laws, just to feed the coffers of the police department, then that would be an abuse in my mind.
Have any of you been watching "Person of Interest" on TV?
