I think in some cases that secretly monitoring suspicious individuals is ok. I don't have anything to worry about :] Really though, there are many people in this world that aren't who they claim to be. There are pedophiles in my neighborhood for crying out loud! My little sister; even myself! We're in danger. I'm scared to walk outside man! Foreal though, Real talk. Secretly monitoring someone sounds bad but it's actually a help, how else would the government catch these crooks? It's ok to a certain extent though, I wouldn't want someone watching me shower and all that good stuff. In conclusion, this is probably one of the only ways the government would catch and put up these wild animals :D Side: yes
yes it should be allowed because all though privacy is a big deal it's not priority like national security. but it shouldn't be like, "oh he has a beard and his skin is brown lets go tap his phones" it should be greatly investigated and a warrant would be needed, that isn't easily obtained.

No, i don't think the government should be able monitor "suspicious" individuals. They shouldn't be able to monitor someone unless they have actually done something wrong. The government ends up wasting time trying to find a suspicious individual then they just wait for an individual to do the slightest thing wrong. Side: No

Before ranting about the positive outcomes of governmental surveillence, first consider this: What exactly determines who is a "suspicious individual", and who is not? Why are you so entusiastic about catching the bad guys when you could end up in a situation where you are completely oblivious to the fact that you ARE one of the "bad guys". Also, to "secretely monitor" should be thought more of as "invading privacy." Before supporting so much governmental control, think first about what our government so frequently goes to war for: Preservation of Freedom. Why support hypocracy?; Why let the nation fall into the grips of communism or dictatorship? The youth of America has been brainwashed by "The American Way". Not everything the government does is for the better. Side: No

It depends on who the goverment is "monitoring." I mean, if the suspicious fella is a terrorist, then yeah. If they're just watching everyday people for small crimes, that's retarded. Honestly, no matter what we say or do the government is going to do whatever they want to do. It could help for somethings, but no matter what, this corrupt goverment is going to do what they want. Nuff said Side: yes
