Don't be an idiot, we're talking about surveillance in public areas, and only about government sanctioned surveillance, much in the same fashion that cops can stop you on the highway to look at your papers.Qwerty 42 wrote:Out of curiosity: are you then also a supporter of the American PATRIOT Act? After all, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to fear a wiretap.
Additionally, the problem with the PATRIOT act is not the methods it uses, but how it is decided who is suspicious or not. I don't see a problem with law enforcement eavesdropping on a suspected child murderer, or even invading its privacy (there's this thing called a search warrant), I have a problem with them doing so on a knitting group whose leader was once vocally opposed to the president's policies. But that's a completely different issue.
