Society is better off when police show probable cause before getting data of private citizens. In the article, EFF highlights two cases where police made unspecific requests for data of large swaths of people. Such requests have a chilling effect on our society.
I think this is exactly what EFF should be doing. It's why I support them.
- darawk 6y agoNo, society is better off when police don't have the right to take data without consent unless they have probable cause. They have consent here.
- mleonhard 6y agoDo you think a chilling effect can only happen when police use subpoenas and search warrants? Or do you think that a chilling effect is OK as long as some non-police agree to each search? Please explain.
- darawk 6y agoDo you think the existence of a chilling effect is good reason not to do something? Policing literally anything in any way causes a chilling effect. The mere existence of a chilling effect is not an argument against doing something.
