  • Essay / The Right to Privacy as a Fundamental Right - 948

    The government should not invade the privacy of American citizens because even if everyone has adopted social media, it is neither fair nor appropriate for the government to monitor its citizens like Big Brother. .The right to privacy is very important to American citizens. The Fourth Amendment protects some of our rights. No law enforcement officer may search a person's property or personal effects without first having a search warrant approved and signed by a judge. The police must obtain a search warrant; they obtain a search warrant if they have probable cause and prove that a crime is being committed. We have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The government cannot take away or limit our listed rights (2nd). The right to privacy is the right most understandable and most valued by citizens. People like to stay private and most of the time they get angry or upset when their privacy is invaded, even if they put most of their information and activities on social media. It's weird to me because they like to stay private but they still post all their information on social sites, it's a bit contradictory. (RomanEspejo)Public safety cameras can improve your safety by making communities safer. They can detect abuse, theft, rape, theft, etc. Some people do not approve of public cameras and surveillance systems, although they are only for security reasons. These cameras are not intended to invade your privacy (Roman Espejo). The government has huge technological facilities where it develops new devices every day. The government has enormous computers with enormous databases containing the DNA and genetic material of every American citizen. The government has cameras everywhere to keep an eye on citizens like Big Brother. Works Cited “Fourth Amendment.” Constitutional Amendments: From Free Speech to FlagBurning. 2nd ed. Flight. 1.
