1. My right is the right to privacy.

2. "The right of privacy is the right to be left alone; it is the right of a person to be free from unwarranted publicity." http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-107767712.html (Manila Bulletin). The right of privacy protects individuals personal information and lets them determine what sort of information about themselves is collected, and how that information is used. Some of this information includes their name, address, email, social security number and financial information. The right to personal autonomy lets individuals have privacy to have a family, marriage, motherhood and raise a child. "The Fair Credit Reporting Act protects information gathered by credit reporting agencies." http://netsecurity.about.com/od/newsandeditorial1/a/aaprivacyrights.htm%20(Tony Bradley) The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act gives parents the right to what information about their children can be put on web sites. The right to privacy also allows government not to be able to search someones home and personal papers when ever they want. They have to get a warrent from the court before so. Also you have a right to keep your federal records private.

3. The limitations that exsist on the right to privacy is in some states you can not be married to the same sex or family members which allows the government to have a say in your marrage. If you are a suspect and the government or police believe you have some one in hostage or are going to hurt some one, they are allowed to break in and take you under arrest.

4. These limitaions exsixt because if somone is being held hostage and no one can go in and save them, then people could start dieing. Also if someone is trying to hire someone in childcare program, they have to right to cheackyuor background to make sure you are not a sex offinder or have any criminal records.

5. If I had to give up the right to privacy I would want some kind of security so that my personal information and belongings were kept safe. I would want to be safe and not in any kind of danger.

6. The right to privacy exsists because it allows people to keep their personal information to themselfs so no one can steal their identity, be put in publicity aginst their will or be in danger in any way. Before technology, people could have private conversations but now there are computer data bases and video cameras that can invade peoples privacy.
