Would they change wiretapping laws to include 24x7 audio/video surveillance inside the suspect's home without their knowledge?
Umm..I think they can already do this with the proper warrant for wiretapping. In fact I'd be surprised if police in the US can't do this for computers already with a warrant. I don't have a problem with it as long there is a court looking over the police's shoulder.
The problem occurs when government starts doing this sort of thing without court approval which is what was happening under the bush administration. I hope the new administration is starting to roll back some of these powers.
