I did not realize how many ways the government, local police stations, or even dangerous hackers were watching us and getting ahold of our personal information.
One of the ways the government or local police stations are getting information on us is by tracking where our cargoes. It can do it one of two ways, it can use the navigation system in our cars to tell if we are going to church, where the grocery stores, and tons of more places. The second way is cameras posted all around towns taking pictures of our car's license plate number. The local police station then can keep this information in case you were to get into trouble with the law in the far future. This is not okay, they should only hold potential information if you are in some kind of trouble with the law.
Another very scary piece of technology that could be very dangerous is the hack that our phones, computers, and other pieces of technology are built with automatic surveillance. Our telephones and the networks that carry our calls were originally wired for surveillance first. This means anyone can listen in on your phone call conversation. However the real scary part is that this may not even be from your own government, it could another government, a stalker, or a hacker listening in.
We need to have laws for citizens to change these ways that violate our privacy. This is not a way to live, a total stranger should not know everything about you just because you use a telephone or know where you are going just because you drive a car.
