(Jon sez:) 
I thought this up one day while listening to a news report about a Supreme
Court case regarding the use of new surveillance equipment by the police.
Was it Constitutional, the Court was asked to decide, to use high-tech means
of surveillance to look through the walls of a house without a search
warrant?
Putting aside the future shock inherent in this question, it's an interesting ethical dilemma. And then I extended it - what happens when the police officer is physically augmented, and can't turn off the surveillance technology? Is it still snooping if the police officer is looking with what he considers, because the systems are innate to his body, to be the "naked eye"? |

Oo, science-fictiony!
I'd like to take this opportunity to give a warm A Miracle of Science welcome to visitors from the comic formerly known as Radical Dreamers, now Eidolic Fringe. Hi! Please, do stick around, and we hope to be worth your while. |
