If we felt that the accuracy of the justice system trumped all privacy concerns, then we could have voluntarily adopted such systems years ago after honest plain public discussion.
We didn't.
- sliverstorm 13y agoDid that discussion actually happen yet? Maybe I missed it.
- jlgreco 13y agoThat is my point...
- sliverstorm 13y agoWell then maybe now is the time for that discussion?
- jlgreco 13y agoYou can have it whenever you like, but such a decision cannot be made retroactively. If we as a society decide that we want to make that tradeoff, then we can only make it going forward. Those who do not consent to such an invasion of privacy must be given fair warning. For the majority to retroactively strip privacy would be tyrannical. I should not have to explain why.
