Showing Original Post only (View all)Which of the following should be public record for elected government officials? [View all]
Just curious how far this will go in the next few years? We're assuming all items are for government business. We would also assume this stuff would be available on a public website. Technology like body cams, TV's that can record audio, etc. will soon be able to capture every time you open the fridge, drive around the corner, or buy a carton of milk. I can't walk around the block now without everyone knowing how far and fast on Facebook. Your friendly UPS driver is constantly monitored just like the package you are tracking.
Email is just the tip of the iceberg, so how much do we want to know about our elected officials while they are working? Heart rate?
Please exclude secret or sensitive material that are assumed to be off limits. Also, travel records and things could be provided after the fact to avoid security problems.
Comments are welcome, and we all know there will be issues of practicality and privacy, but after they leave office? Real time? Exactly what do you think we should demand. Like Star Trek, "Computer, play back the conversation with the Andorran ambassador!".
