because this claim of our personal information is a breach of trust and a breach of personal space. Surveillance is being done to INTIMIDATE the public--that is ALL. Authoritarian states historically have used spies in every neighborhood as a method of social control and THIS IS NO DIFFERENT.
There are people who would completely cooperate with spying on their neighbors, they are ok with the surveillance state, and I find this EQUALLY disturbing as the state changing the laws!!!!!
