Watching the Powers That Be
By: Daniel Nardini
By and large, police in the United States are pretty decent people who are trying to do an honest job. Nobody wants to think of any of them as rotten apples. However, as in all other occupations, there are some rotten apples so it is necessary sometimes to watch the watchers. So the mobile phone, which has become indispensable for business, can now also be used to watch those in law enforcement who themselves break the law. One other thing that, sadly, has become a problem for people, and especially religious minorities, are those being singled out by law enforcement because they are a religious minority. This has become true for Muslims, Jews and Sikhs. Sometimes they are stopped by police for some incident, and because of fear or ignorance on the part of some individuals, innocent religious minority individuals may be harmed emotionally as well as physically. Another organization, the Sikh Coalition, has created its own network to help protect the rights of Sikhs. If Sikhs are stopped by police, and if individual Sikhs feel their rights have been violated, then they can file a report and have this sent to the local and state authorities. Likewise, when individual Sikhs feel their rights have been violated by airport authorities, they can file a report and send it to the Transit Security Authority.
It is sad to me that sometimes we have to watch those in authority. Overall, I do not wish to cause trouble, nor do anything that is illegal. However, when our rights are being violated, there are times when we must fight back to protect those constitutional rights. This piece of technology is one more instance that does this.
