Giving up freedom is different than making police more efficient. One finer point on the issue — states should run their own APR — never make it a federal power.
Kind of missed my point - too much power in any entity tends to end up being abused and our Freedoms get compromised even with the most benign "efficiencies" of "law enforcement".
Doesn't matter who "runs their own APR - the technology is also available to the Feds and they have no compunction on using it to gather data on Joe Public to start building databases of "threats" from data being collected. That's why we keep hearing about how Right-Wing, Christians who believe in the Constitution pose an even greater threat than the real terrorists.
Look what the IRS did. Heck, look at how nearly all of us commit several Federal Felonies each day without ever being aware of it - if they set their sights on you for any reason they have the "full force of law" to crush you underfoot. The question is when they start using it in a systematic, methodical way to finish the Constitution off.
Giving up freedom is different than making police more efficient.
On the other hand it is now a no win situation either way, whether we use it or not. If you don’t have citizens guided by high moral standards we are lost................
