CHANGE THE DAMN LAW.
Protect the methods
To
PROTECT THE CHILDREN
Why do we protect the press sources in such a holy matter? It’s in our effing CONSTITUTION. We should do the same with surveillance methods that catch people who RAPE BABIES and destroy children’s lives!!!!!!!!!!
Your right to face your accuser is also enshrined in the constitution. The algorithm is the accuser. A change in the constitution would be needed for the protections you seek.
I believe the case here is that the methods don’t produce reliable evidence, which is almost certainly the reason they don’t want to open those methods for inspection.
By hiding the method they can make any person they want to point to guilty, just by having the program say so. Or saying the program said so.
Why do you trust the government?
After what they did to President Trump with a fake witch hunt, you want to give the federal government unlimited power to arrest and destroy people’s lives over files on a computer hard drive? That could easily be copied remotely to your computer without you ever knowing it?
Everyone is for protecting the children and our law enforcement efforts should be used in catching real verified criminals. But the government should have to prove its case in a court of law, if it can’t, it should drop it. Just like every other case.
