Thinking Politically's analysis on warrantless wiretapping

Commented on Thinking Politically

I strongly agree with your opinion. The government isn't allowed to search houses without a warrant so it should be same with wiretapping. Due to our situation with 9/11 in the past and our troops in Iraq, it would be understandable to be cautious to anything else that would happen in our nation. There is a possibility that by taking this action it could catch a suspect in action trying to plan something, but the chances are too slim compared to the guilty and innocent ratio in our nation. I am basically implying that, the chance of warrantless wiretapping catching a suspect is a little narrow. When Thinking Politically propose the idea that putting up surveillance cameras on the streets and department stores, I think she made a good point. Putting them cameras on public locations is reasonable, but compared to the events at home it is another story. Some people might think "What is the difference from warrant and warrantless? In the end they're going to tap the lines at the end." Well the idea is to ensure unreckless acts that certain officers might carry out and also the basic view is that it is unconstitutional as stated by Thinking Politically. I would personally feel that I would have no privacy if the government supports warrantless wiretapping. I agree with Thinking Politically that things need to be done for our nation, but in a reasonal and legal procedure.
