I don't see a ton of kids demanding that they be under surveillance all the time.

You will see a society of grown ups in a couple years that make our nanny statism look like relative individualism because they have been nannied and spied on into adulthood.

Can the "statism" argument because it doesn't fly. You want to argue something in the abstract when the facts of the case are, a 17 year old who lives with her parents lied about her wherabouts. As an underage person who is also a liar why is she entitled to freedoms?

[Secret Agent Man]

Nope. The analogy is terribly flawed. concerned parents are not equivalent to an omniscient, ever-present, faceless, unloving, oppressive, totalitarian government.

You forget that she had no idea 'her' SUV had a tracking device on it. She would've kept on lying as long as it was working for her.

I am more shocked that you think her behavior is more acceptable than her parents.
