I am not against any government from spying on anyone else if the following can be done...
A yearly release of a public record made for every request for data and the owner of that data allowed to view the information that was seen from that request.
Time and time again, every time we give up privacy info, it is always abused. Think of the implications for a politician to spy on his opponents for personal gain or profit.
If you don't think this is happening now, I would only suggest you do just a little light research of the Stingray-2 for the interception of cell phones. The devices are not tracked and most local law enforcement would even deny having them even though public records show they have received homeland security money to purchase them @ 180k each.
Funny how most of these devices show-up being used in Washington DC and Wall Street areas.
It is all about accountability. They have none. Nobody is even asking for it. Without it, I'm not so enthused to giving my endorsement of a blank check.
