The Invasion Of People's Privacy

Since September 11, 2001, the United States of America will always watch its back for terrorist attacks. Ever since that September day, we have increased our security in our airports and created Homeland Security. Some people feel the NSA, National Security Agency, has gone too far with its surveillance in protecting our country and people from attacks. Some say that they have not done enough to protect us. I feel there are some things the NSA should absolutely do, and then there are others I feel do invade people’s privacy. But do we really have privacy as it is? Anyone can hack into our computers, phones, bank accounts, and more as long as they have the brains to do it. I’m not completely against the government watching what we are doing,
Anyone can buy them. With civilians using the drones it can cause several problems. Air safety being one of the problems: “Since June 2014 commercial and private pilots have reported some 25 near collisions with drones.” (Difa) With people going beyond the set altitude limit, drones are being sucked into engines, rotors, or propellers. Illegal surveillance or spying on people can occur too. If anyone can have a drone and fly it, then there is nothing stopping them from going to a hotel thirty stories up and peeping through windows. People should have to have permission or a warrant to fly them in certain places, or it invades peoples’ privacy.

It’s like a saying my dad always told me, “Don’t let one bad apple ruin the whole batch.” Some people will abuse the drones for their own pleasure, but that does not make all drone usage bad. There are some positive things about civil drones. They can help with search and rescue parties, mapping, surveillance over certain areas like the Mexican border, and more. NASA has used the drones to watch hurricanes along with other natural
For example, a police officer or an FBI agent could use it to talk to people. Maybe someone made them mad, and to get revenge, they use the video surveillance to determine where they are or how they go about their day to get back at them. There are real people controlling these, not a machine, and they are watching the cameras for suspicious behavior. Not everyone is racist, but there are some people who may not accept a certain race and will target them instead of someone who might actually be committing a crime. Yes, video surveillance can be misused, but what can’t be oppressed in today’s
