Question
Your life is somewhere in a database
Are you comfortable with giving away some of your privacy for increased security?
Why or why not?
How far would you let the government go in examining people’s private lives?
Or how much access should we have to certain aspects of others’ private lives?
For example, should States share criminal databases?
Many TV shows depict law enforcement personnel accessing readily accessible databases that contain all types of records about individuals –records about everything from address to telephone records to finances, insurance, and criminal history.
Specifically, should a database of people paroled or released for crimes be made public?
Why or why not? What about those who have committed other types of crimes? Who should have access to the database? Why?
Explanation / Answer
Are you comfortable with giving away some of your privacy for increased security? Why or why not?
Yes, I am comfortable with sharing some of my privacy for increased security as more security is more beneficial rather than a little more privacy and if it could mean more security, then there is no problem in sharing my information.
How far would you let the government go in examining people’s private lives? Or how much access should we have to certain aspects of others’ private lives?
I would only let them access my general information like my birth date, information about my work life and stuff which are not too much personal as they would not do any harm. Some very delicate private information like bank account information, I would not be comfortable with that. We should only access that much part off someone's life which would not harm his right to privacy and also not cause any harm to him. States should not share criminal databases as it would not allow anyone to leave the wrog path and begin a fresh start.
Should a database of people paroled or released for crimes be made public?
They should not release such information as it would not allow anyone to leave the wrog path and begin a fresh start. Anyone could move to a wrong path under some conditions, but even they should be given the chance to walk on the correct path.
Why or why not? What about those who have committed other types of crimes? Who should have access to the database? Why?
If the crimes are too much severe, maybe they should be kept a close eye by the officials. But even their information should not be released. Only the police or the officias should access the database and not the general public.
