Civil libertarian: As electronic surveillance of public places becomes more common
and pervasive, we hear more and more attempted justifications of this practice by
government officials. Surveillance, they explain, keeps the public honest and polite
to one another. Such explanations are obviously self-serving, and so should not be
taken to justify these unwarranted invasions of privacy.
A questionable technique used in the civil libertarians argument is to
(A) attack an argument different from that actually offered by government
officials
(B) presume that members of the public are never dishonest or rude to one
another
(C) insist that modern government practices meet moral standards far higher
than those accepted in the past
(D) attack government officials' motives instead of addressing their arguments
(E) make a generalization based on a sample that there is reason to believe is
biased
