Why do people hate wire tapping?

Wire tapping the telephones of American citizens without a court order is illegal.\nThey impeached Clinton for a minor dalliance in which he didn't even get to third base. But taking the Constitution and pushing it through the shredder, why that is just fine and dandy.\nHe really does believe that it is only a piece of paper, and he is the Prince of the Realm who may do as he pleases, isn't he? \nThe answer to Ben Franklin's comment about what sort of government the constitution enshrined--"A republic, if you can keep it"-- has been answered. We've lost it, folks. We've got George III in the White House. And, it is now often forgotten, that George was looney as the day is long, too.

There will be nobody forcing you to get a number on your right hand or forehead.  It's just to get you paranoid.

Wire taps only come with a warrant and the warrant is issued after some evidence is presented. It's been a pretty good system so far. And if they start doing doing it everywhere where will it stop?

As you would be exploiting someone who did not yet have the capacity to make an informed decision, I would be against it.  Same reason it is illegal.

It is never necessary to spy on americans on american soil without properly obtaining explicit authorization from another branch of government.  Telling a few people in congress is not a warrant.  That's what the bill of rights and separation of powers are all about.  If we give up our freedom to be safe we are all a bunch of cowards.  \n\nThe person probably chose to reveal the program because it is illegal and violates the FISA law.  If you read the law there is absolutely no possible way to legally wiretap without getting a warrant.  It even allows for a 72 hour grace period where you can tap the person without a warrant, you just have to get one later.

I must say I totally CANNOT STAND THEM! They did do a GREAT job during 9/11 though. I am sorry about your aunt. My grandmother has the same problem because, she lives on the next block from the precinct and they never do anything. Some of the police officers there are secretly pimping young girls in my grandmothers building. I do not like the ones who abuse their authority. The siren thing has happened to MANY of us. We all need to find a way to stop their abusive and ignorant ways. I notice that some are very immature as well, and fresh, one officer told me that he would not give me a diorderly conduct ticket or arrest me(I had a fight in my high school age.) If I gave him my number, I gave it to him, I should have reported him, but I was scared.( the number to the call rejection service!) It plays a message that says "You probably got this number from a girl, who thinks you are ugly, have bad breath or are just plain dumb, in any case, YOU HAVE BEEN REJECTED!", and then it laughs for about 5 minutes and hangs up..still laughing.\n\nbtw, the cigarette thing is totally dumb too, alot of them smoke in their uniforms! How disgraceful

Well why do some people enjoy stealing? It's pretty much the same thing! Why should I pay for something when I can hack it to work?\nIf you're refering to those that hack into govermental websites to substract secret documents, or fake something, they are not doing this just for the fun of getting caught!

because it is a recording... not once have you ever dialed a disconnected number and gotten a live human.\nand because people are stupid and ignorant we need to be VERY specific.

Gawddd. . keep drinking the liberal Kool-Aid.\n\nLogically (but who would expect you to understand logic) it's virtually impossible to prove a negative so you wouldn't ever have 'evidence' that something was not used;  however, just from the fact that you have no evidence it was used would seem to be proof enough. . .if it was, there would have been a leak by now.\n\np.s.  Exactly how would wiretapping enable someone to win an election?

Cell phones are a wonderful tool, however, people definitely need to learn cell phone etiquette.\nI wouldn't say it gets me mad, but probably more like mildly irritated.

I have nothing to hide. I understand the fears that some people have of a government with unlimited secret controls, but those are usually your conspiracy buffs, anyway.\n\nSpy, guys... spy. We are living in the greatest and strongest nation in the world, and many resent us for that. Sadly, the greatest harm to our way of life will come from within our own borders,

It is forbidden to spy on people in the US, by people in the US. We have listening stations outside the US, they do the work

I have complained to the FCC, the FTC and my congressional representatives. The fact that someone can purchase my home address, access my records and get my phone number with just a few keystrokes is outrageous!

Yeah, You hate it. (the thing does not work)\nThey hate it.       ( they need to hear yells 9-5)\n\nThe company doesn't care.They cut the price, and sell you cheap. They cut the price and outsource the customer service to assist you. \n\nIts a vicious circle

I wouldn't say that I HATE it, but it does make me shake my head and think "what a waste of bandwidth".\n\nI generally ignore those once I've identified that that's what they are.\n\nOf course, some are so egregious that I can't help but respond.
