No case of abuse of such powers negates the relevance and importance of legally approved surveillance to enforcing laws.

- mattigames 7y agoWhy not? How much abuse is too much for you? Is there a threshold I can read about and about any logic behind it?
- bayesian_horse 7y agoI never claimed there is no abuse. I specifically stated that surveillance, even limited through laws, is essential to most of law enforcement. Transgressions about such limits don't somehow make it untrue that many criminal convictions in all sorts of areas are based upon entirely lawful surveillance. I don't think there is any solid argument society would be safer if all such surveillance was deemed illegal.
- mattigames 7y agoHow do you know the abuse from having those new surveillance tools will be lesser than the good they will provide?
