And America doesn't protect an individual's right to privacy, unlike the EU and Japan which have strong legislation to protect individuals. And when it comes to protections from police, America is the absolute worst within what could be considered the first world.
You can pick and choose rights that are important to you and say America is number one. Others can say America is positively lacking in other important aspects. It can easily be argued that America isn't even the best when it comes to protecting freedom of speech, and it's evident with how American-run tech corps police what's permitted on their sites to fit with American laws.
Personally, I found America to be too constricting and the police state overwhelming, and I left for somewhere with more freedom. :)
- AmericanChopper 8y agoThe idea that an individual has a high expectation of privacy in public spaces is neither a right nor a freedom, it’s simply a restriction on what you’re legally allowed to do in public. It is freedom exchanged for safety. There is also no argument to be made at all when it comes to speech. America has by far the most extensive and thorough protections for expression and association in the world. Individuals in America also have much more protection from police interference than in any other country. The 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th amendments all protect individuals against malicious police actions and prosecutions. There is simply no other country that has anything remotely close to the Bill of Rights.
