Where's the "Maybe" response option??
I have mixed feelings about the technology. I'm not vehemently opposed to it as I'm sure some are. I have a differing opinion about the loss of civil liberties and personal freedom than many do. I ascribe to the old saying: "People who have nothing to hide hide nothing".
However, even though my opinion differs than many, I share the same concerns. I could give a rip if "the law" even stopped and randomly searched my car, my home or me; BUT....unfortunately such powers foster abuse of said powers ("absolute power corrupts absolutely"). Getting stopped by "the man" doesn't scare me because I think I'll get busted for something (OK, yeah, there was a time in my life when it did), it would concern me now if as a completely innocent person powers similar to this could be abused by a person in a position of authority to, well, abuse me.
