What would happen if provinces had the authority to give
police the power to track people under suspicion of serious
crime(s) via cellular telephone tapping?

Benefits
A reduction in the crime rate, criminals caught swiftly.

Tapping cell phones conversations of suspects is one way for
police to keep tabs on individuals under suspicion of
serious crimes, how else could the police gather information
besides a warrant to search bank accounts etc?

Privacy is Right – Safe Living a Necessity
But, how much is your privacy worth to you? Willing to
sacrifice a little privacy for increased safety?

The Problem:
What would be needed for provinces to be able to give the
police this kind of power?

A change in the criminal code some experts say.

A change that would give police the power to tap into cell
phones at their discretion

• A way to catch suspects without tipping them off.
• Even when turned off or features disabled
• Secretly monitoring under warrant

But until that happens, you and I must have faith in the
current justice system.

Privacy concerns
• Do you want your conversations monitored?
• Do you want to be a victim of mistaken identity
• Your concerned about invasion of privacy

Are your conversations private?

You would like to think that the conversations you have with
friends and loved ones are private, but who really knows,
right?

By making it easier to track suspects

• you make it harder for them to conduct criminal activity
• easier for the police to monitor cells for possible
information sources

They need someway to collect information because in the end
their actions save lives.

Criminals have to communicate somehow

Criminals aren’t stupid, that’s why they use cell phones
just imagine if the police had the authority to monitor
their calls. Chances are cheap pay as you go cell phones
are the favorite candy of their brotherhood, easy to buy
hard to tap, this is where a change in the criminal could
come into play.

Cellular Telephones Tapping – How Far Should the Law Go?

So, should provinces have the authority to give municipal
police the power to track suspected felons telephone
conversations.

The law should go far enough to make us safe, not to invade
our privacy. How much of your privacy are you willing to
sacrifice in the favor of law enforcement? Is it time for a
change in the law or just a change in peoples behaviors?

What impact could a change in law have on society?

Not that network providers don’t already discuss security
concerns because I’m sure they do communicate with law
enforcement officials. They have to in this day and age.

Lost revenue for network providers from criminals’ use and
the money it takes to catch them.

Summary:

Even though our privacy ranks at the top for those things we
cherish, this is the day and age of terrorism, any extra
powers the police get is better then taking one away from
them. Sure there’s the chance of mistaken identity, but
that just shows the human side of law enforcement, one
mistake could cost them their lives and countless others.
