So, my friend and I argue a lot about different things. The “relevant” topic we were arguing about today was facial recognition. Here is how I thought about it.
“People shouldn’t be complaining about their privacy if they’re safety is the thing being boosted.”I said.
My friend gave me the look like I was the stupidest person on Earth.
The discussion continued.
“I think the police are breaking the fourth amendment, stupid.”my friend said.
“The Fourth Amendment states, “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects….” and they are not breaking that rule. They are making the world more secure.”
My friend replied, “After that it states and for no searches and seizures. Their faces are being searched without permission.”
I shot back,” Are you saying a criminal could use that as an excuse?”
She screamed, “That’s my opinion!”
I replied, “Then why did we just have an argument about this?”
She said, “Because I wanted to.”
That was the end of it. I didn’t think that it was important at the time, but now I'm thinking. What do you guys have to say, do you side with me, or my friend?
