Where is the expectation of privacy in the commission of a crime?

The right to personal privacy is precious. Without it, we are all potential victims for a prying secret police.

The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people's private information such as library, medical, and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise.

We must restrict the anonymity behind which people hide to commit crimes. As citizens, we have a right to privacy. We have no such right to anonymity.

I know a lot of reporters certainly will go to jail to defend confidential sources. Some have even gone to jail for an issue like this. But I can't say that's the norm.

There's always a sense that people will do things quite differently if they think they have privacy.

If you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide a certain measure of truth from the public.

I am not opposed to the limited use of polygraphs in a case where a person is suspected of wrongdoing. But widespread use of the polygraph as a screening tool goes far beyond what is acceptable.

I'm not an investigative journalist; I don't track crime or police blotters.

I respect someone's right to privacy and I want them to know it.
