Judge Andrew Napolitano: A ‘Farce’ to Say Mass Surveillance Ended; ‘Nothing Has Changed’
Napolitano, a Ron Paul Institute Advisory Board Member, proceeds to argue that the sacrifice of liberty for security has resulted in diminished security. “The intellectually honest people in the government will tell you that” in the current mass surveillance approach “they are suffering from too much data, not from not enough data,” says Napolitano. Following the requirements of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, Napolitano explains, “forces law enforcement to focus on the bad guys” and, therefore, would be more effective in protecting people from violence.
Concludes Napolitano:
Nothing has changed, except that the argument has gotten more intense because the politicians in both parties in both houses [of Congress] across the political spectrum want to give the American public the false impression that by interfering with their privacy they will somehow keep us safe. That makes them beat their chests: “Look at what we did for you.” And it’s a farce.Watch Napolitano’s complete interview here:
