Chapter 87 Patriot Act

"Do you want to continue to let those innocent people be brutally killed?"

Faced with such questions, no matter who they are, they can only choose to shut up.

Because in front of life, the privacy of people walking back and forth to the station and walking on the roadside every day seems so insignificant.

Surveillance cameras are a blatant violation of personal information and privacy. Under normal circumstances, there will be strong resistance from the people.

However, the panic caused by the carved man has lasted for more than a year, affecting not only the citizens of W City, but also people across the country.

Later, the proposal to put monitoring equipment into use at the station passed smoothly.

Stations all over the country are also equipped with monitoring equipment in places with a large traffic flow.

The police have been investigating Diao Nan's case, and they have not given up on arresting the murderer.

It didn't take long for the streets in W City to be equipped with equipment for collecting intelligence information, that is, surveillance camera probes.

Its purpose is to curb crime and improve the quality and quantity of intelligence collected.

Regardless of day or night, images of pedestrians on the street are compressed and stored inside the probe.

The police are also patrolling every day, hoping to catch Diao Nan, a murderer who is at large.

"The United States immediately introduced the Patriot Act because of the 911/[-] terrorist attacks," said a junior high school girl. .

"Sounds like a good bill." Tian Yu said.

"The USA PATRIOT Act, an act of Congress signed by President George W. Bush on October 2001, 10, also extended the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, expanding The scope of activities that the police agency can manage. Because it involves the privacy of American citizens, it is controversial." The girl was a little bit aggrieved.

"How about that!"

"This bill expands the authority of the US police agency for the purpose of preventing terrorism. According to the content of the bill, the police agency has the power to search telephone, email communications, medical, financial and other types of records; Restrictions; expansion of the authority of the US Secretary of the Treasury to control and manage financial circulation activities, especially for financial activities related to foreign persons or political entities; The powers of aliens. This bill also expands the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, and expands the scope of activities that police agencies can manage. Things are different and methods have changed."

"The United States attaches great importance to human rights and freedom," Tian Yu said.

"Maybe many people think that as long as terrorist attacks can be prevented, there is no way to accept government surveillance. The facts are in front of you. When City W said it was time to start installing a surveillance system, wouldn't there be no resistance?"

"We don't know that we are being closely monitored! At most, we feel that we have to make some concessions in order to catch the murderer. Besides, we are only talking about monitoring the scenes we walk through under the camera."

"It's not like this." Fu Xuesheng said.

"This bill in the United States, police agencies have the power to search phone calls, email communications, medical, financial and other kinds of records, etc.). So there was opposition at the time."

The girl cast a approving look at Fu Xuesheng.

It seems that there are still people on the field who are changing their thinking very quickly.

Fu Xuesheng put his arms around Lingbao's shoulders, and he looked down at Lingbao, his wife, and the world he lived in, which seemed a little chaotic.

At least, not so calm on the surface.
