Explanation / Answer

Technology is becoming more and more popular across America today. This technology can have both positive and negative effects on citizens. Although technology can be used to keep people safe, some believe it is exploiting their privacy. Thanks to today’s technology, law enforcement officers have the ability to find criminals fairly easily, and protect citizens.Cellphone trackers are used to identify crime-ridden areas and locations, and are used to identify where law enforcement officers can find the hideouts of the criminals. Looking at the call history,police officers can identify the potential victims or even the supporters in the crime.It can help to create a timeline of the crime that occurred. Officers can tap the cellphones and also hear the conversations,leading to finding the information and even locations of the crmininals and what exactly they are planning. Although law enforcement technology has positive effects, it can also have negative effects. Officers were granted the permission to tap into peoples’ cellular devices without a search warrant. This created quite a controversy. Many believe that it is inappropriate for officers to be allowed to listen into their conversations. They believe they are being treated like criminals. Not all people use mobile phones for the right purpose. Criminals are using mobile phones to coordinate their activities due to the simplicity of communication. Governments are also being accused of committing offenses by spying on the conversations people make through cell phones. In this manner, the right to privacy is violated.
