Law Enforcement and Security Agencies

Question: In your opinion, can law enforcement and security agencies be trusted to use technology responsibly when it comes to protecting American civil liberties? And should national security be more important than an individuals liberty? Answer: It can be said that the law enforcement and the security agencies can be trusted to use the modern technology responsibly. The reason behind this is that there is a companion guide to the Law Enforcement Tech Guide, regarding planning, purchasing and managing technology (Privacy Technology, 2012). This will help to trust the security agencies and law enforcement, especially when it is regarding the protection of American civil liberties. Finally, it can be said that the national security is more important than individual liberty as without nations security there would be no country for any individual in order to have their individual liberty (Kent, 2012).
