Re: Obama on Fetishizing Our Phones
This is incredibly naive bordering on puerile. To suggest that POTUS&#x27; view on this is without nuance is to miss his point. POTUS went on to cite existing warrant mechanisms and their underlying principle:<p>&quot;And we agree on that, because we recognize that just like all of our other rights ... that there are going to be some constraints we impose so we are safe, secure and can live in a civilized society.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not suggesting that this means POTUS and the government have the right answers at the moment. Despite that, we can&#x27;t ignore the important role law enforcement plays in society, the requirements in support of their role, and the complexities surrounding the right to privacy. We need people advocating for the right balance, not just getting each other frustrated.<p>OP may have worries other than US law enforcement being from another country. This is one of the &#x2F;many&#x2F; complexities in this space.
