Really most people do not think about being watched when they are running around every day such as taking a trip to Einstein’s or Chipotle every day. Well the truth is, you are being watched heck even when you’re in the classroom you’re being watched, or when you’re walking outside your being watched not to mention the motion detector that you are most likely will walk by several times a day in the hallways. The pro con issues that are beginning to emerge on my topic are privacy over safety and how the government is being a little too intrusive into our lives. I will start off with privacy over safety which really comes down to why we are being watched. We are being watched in an attempt to catch terrorists and capture criminals more effectively. Now that’s good and all, but are we really catching any of these terrorists or is this just pointless. I mean they have likely caught a few, but the U.S. government hasn't really put out to many statistics about it. Plus they are not just watching us with cameras the NSA has data sniffing facilities that collect all kinds of information on suspicious citizens such as emails, website history, and purchase history which ties into with website or internet browsing record. This without a permit is considered an invasion of privacy which is enumerated in the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution. The NSA also has the power apparently to wiretap your land line or cell phone if you are a suspicious person without a permit of course which another example of an invasion of privacy. So overall being watched in public is quite creepy if you ask me and the U.S. governments NSA getting to watch over our personal lives without a warrant is unconstitutional even if they are looking for terrorists. All of this pretty much sums up the main issue for my topic which more people need to be concerned about considering that the government is watching you for most the day.
