Welcome to IWETHEY!

New What about *their* rights?
They can still disagree. But, while we are disagree'ing, they cannot impose their views upon me.

But you've just imposed your views on them. They think your "privacy" is less important than their (and their children's) "safety." And you've just deprived them of the right to expression of that view.

Please understand, I happen to agree with your view. And I understand the danger of allowing their view to be exercized: the images captured and the information learned can not be unseen and unlearned.

But to say they can't impose their views on you is not a sound argument, as you are proposing instead to impose your views on them.
This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
New Err on the side of more freedoms.
Individual freedoms that is.

But this is a core value thing.

Again, trading freedom for security and deserving neither. :)

Other people will value security more than individual freedoms.

These people are "idiots".

Just kidding.

That's why there hasn't been a perfect society yet. Different individuals have different core values (and weight the core values they share differently).

Do I have more of a "right" to my image than they have a "right" to their "security"?

Is there a balance between losing some of my rights and gaining some of their security?

If we step away from the emotions for a moment, you'll see that each of these decisions will result in a different society.

At which point, it is purely a matter of personal preference which society you would WANT to live in.

Which SHOULD dictate your choices in these matters.

But is anyone's preference for any specific society "right" or "wrong"?

Which moves us to theology/metaphysics and ultimate forms of "right" and "wrong".

:)

My views are slightly different. I view societies as human constructs. Just like houses or bridges. There is no such thing as a "right" house. It doesn't even matter if they fulfill their design goals (if they were designed) or if they last. Unless you value those criteria. And, depending upon the criteria you have for that house or bridge, will depend upon how you view it ("good" house or "fix'er up'er" or "shack").
