Q • What are your overall thoughts about government surveillance used to reduce crime? Is potential loss of privacy of innocent people worth the potential increase in safety? • What has the court said so far about general surveillance and the Fourth Amendment? When is it okay and when is it not okay? Use at least one specific court case (use name of the case, year it was decided, and facts about the case) to illustrate your answer---can be about any type of surveillance such as GPS tracking, cell phone tracking, wire tapping, NSA activities, etc. • Do you support the use of facial recognition software in CCTV and body cameras, such as the technology Amazon is selling to some police departments now? Why or why not? Do you think China has taken it too far or should the U.S. move towards more surveillance to have a safer society?
