On the one hand, we don't want anyone in or out of government to be tracking us in any way. On the other hand, we want to be kept safe from evil doers and we want those evil doers to be caught and punished if we are victimized by them. How can we get a good mix of the two?

A good starting point would be to lock criminals up for a just period of time, rather than giving them lenient sentences. Every criminal needs to be made an example of, as a deterrent to others.

Crime across the country is down. Enough so that prisons are be closed. How is it that surveillance is up? They should try some good old fashioned police work that sufficed until recently.
says the guy with eleventy-billion cctv cameras pointed at him right now? (i'm not disagreeing with your statement, mind you ... just pointing out a tad bit of irony. i never feel more watched or invaded than when i visit london.)
I have no problem for national security DOJ gathering/listening my cell call. Only, problem is those in charge of dissecting such info are human/people. None can know who among them are kind bad cops who can either exploit such info against you or pass such info for money to someone to use against you directly or indirectly. NSA does similar thing. Scary.
then you should have a problem with the govt listening to your calls.
Encryption will not prevent these boxes from uniquely identifying your device and your location within just a few meters. As I read it that's the goal of the program, not harvesting photos or reading text messages. It's meant to help locate persons of interest.
True, but AI did say they were scraping texts and photos, and that "no level of encryption will" help. But encryption of the IP layer would stop a fake cell tower from easily reading IP-based data.
Neither Apple nor Google store the private encryption keys so neither would be able to comply with a subpoena demanding access, a bone of contention for law enforcement and national security interests.
What makes you think that? iCloud email between servers and between client and server is encrypted. Most other email services require client to server encryption too. So again, sniffing IP data is useless.

There's an additional weakness here which you may not have considered. It's come to light in the past month that some ISP's are stripping out a security flag called STARTTLS. In effect they're removing encryption for some customers as messages move between servers. Messages become plain text and easily intercepted and read. For what reason would they do this? No idea but it smells like another man-in-the-middle mission.

Most email is now encrypted too.
Umm... I don't think so.

"England" ... The reality show.
sounds like you're lost...
