RE: Law Enforcement Using "Reverse Warrants" to Track People in the Area of a Crime Using Cell Data
As long as one has nothing to do with a crime and or have nothing to hide, i dont see why the reverse warrant is a problem. If those committing crimes are being caught quickly, the society will fast become a place where one can sleep with both eyes closed. As for those that dont feel comfortable talking to the authorities about a crime they have witnessed, i guess they would like it if their home is attacked, and all witnesses who could help in bringing justice wouldn't feel comfortable and want to talk to the authorities about it. It is the duty of a citizen to help the authorities is bringing peace, justices, e.t.c. to the society they live
It can be useful to consider that information can be sought by authorities for other reasons than apprehending criminals, such as identifying people participating in protests. Worse yet, there are corrupt agencies and agents that use such powers to commit crimes.
In fact, it is such criminal corruption that prompted the founders of the USA to limit government via the Constitution as best they could, and it is those constitutional protections that seek to prevent government from being used as a tool by criminal gangs to prey on sovereign people that are being circumvented by these law enforcement agencies.
This is why innocent people need to protect themselves from surveillance, limit police and government power, and ensure constitutional limits on government power are maintained and even increased. Do a few searches for crimes committed by police, and you will find thousands and thousands of examples of police using their powers to rape, pimp, sell illegal drugs, murder, and rob innocent people.
When honest good people use lawful power to do good, everyone profits. Innocent people don't seek to use laws to commit crimes, and so find it difficult to imagine how they can be used to do evil. Bad people seek positions of power so they can do bad things. Government is force. 'Government is like fire, a fearful servant and a terrible master.'--George Washington.
Just like fire, make sure no bad things come from the government you control. Just like fire, if you let it get out of control, not just bad, but terrible things will happen.
An excellent response for the negative side of the issue. Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent, i never thought of the chance of bad people in power, what evil they could do with the acquired power. Thanks for the insight.
Some valid points made.
