This is a bullshit statement. Cleverly posed but it's rationale based on an outdated morale.
/derail.
I'm in the number of "I have nothing to hide" but I have to say I do believe that privacy is a right and we are all entitled to it. On the other hand, if it wasn't for NSA's echelon programme many, many things would be broken in this country. Taking our security for granted based on an ideal poised to aid natural selection is ... can't put it any other way ... dumb as fuck!
As far as the OP goes, I believe this power would be abused anyway just as any trickle down system wears through cracks:
- Police have often been accused (sometimes rightfully so) of being corrupt ...
- CEO's have always stolen ...
- Judges have been paid off ...
Key note is, they're all human. All these enforcers of the establishment are human. Only a machine (Not Artificial Intelligence) can uphold the law to it's entirety.
