Hey, I have a couple questions on this issue. I was wondering which options would effect my Civil Rights and Political Freedoms?

The Debate
"This is a blatant invasion of the right to privacy!" says libertarian web site operator Falala Trax. "Now I can't even go out in public any more without being watched? And you know this is just the beginning. Today there are cameras in city streets. Tomorrow they're peering through your bedroom window."
[Accept]


"Hey, I've got news for you," says Police media liaison Konrad Barry. "When you're out in public, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. These cameras will be extremely helpful in reducing the national crime rate. Frankly, I can't see what the fuss is about."
[Accept]


"This 'slippery slope' argument has got me thinking," says Police Minister Charles Frederickson. "You know, it would be a lot easier to fight crime if we watched people all the time. Not with cameras, of course. That's clearly an invasion of privacy. But how about a national database of our citizens, coupled with compulsory ID cards and barcoding? It would stop crime dead in its tracks."
[Accept]

If I recall, they all do. some more than others.

I would say option 1 civil rights up.

Option 2 CR down.

Option 3 CR down more.

As for PF I don't think they have any effect but I may be wrong.

I chose option III on a puppet and it brought my benchmark CR and excessive PF down to "below average" on both.

I think that we got rights to our privacy and this has got to stop :gundge: :headbang:
