What if we put cameras and sensors in every home? What if we require groups of three or more to register their gathering with the government?

What if we could torture someone to have a chance at stopping a terror attack? What if we could torture someone to find where they stashed a stolen car? What if publicizing the errant torture of innocent people is bad for public morale, so we outlaw publishing stories about it?

When does it stop?

These are basic philosophy of law questions but I tend to stand on the side of liberty from an ever more powerful government.
