Discuss and critically analyse the statement in a 3000 word essay ” secret surveillance was at least under the rule of law a rarity when governments had to show a warrant to come into your home. if they wanted access to files you had on your computer, again secret surveillance would normally have been a rare event, today, governments can perform surveillance without asking you but rather need only issue an order against a service provider, or through compromising your devices. if all your files, biographical, medical and financial were to be made available you would think you had the right to object. but it is also true that governments sometimes need to do this surveillance in secret because it may compromise their investigations to notify you.
