I'm actually interested to hear what you think is the right balance. I'm personally of the conviction that the public's privacy trumps the needs of law enforcement. Where does the balance lie, for you?
I don’t know what the right balance would be.
I think I’d trust my government and my police (which I work for) enough to have a lot more cameras in the streets. But I wouldn’t want that to happen in a totalitarian country.
Personally, I wouldn’t want my devices to be scanned by whatever program, but I wouldn’t mind if what was coming in and out of my computer was scanned to prevent organized crime in a certain way.
But only because to communicate I’m using installations which don’t belong to me, but to the phone company.
