Answer 1

1- As a society, we should be concerned about security, because security is the most important criteria to implement other civil and social rights. If we are not secure, our civil and social rights will not save our life so that in my opinion, if Police uses technologies against terrorism must be supported by the agencies. The most important thing is security but government agencies must ensure the utilization of privacy and must be responsible for society.

2- Recent terrorist activities used various technologies and strategies, if we want to counter these activities, we need more sophisticated technology and strategy so if a police chief demanding for financial support to purchase new instruments, weapons and technologies must be concerned actively by responsible agencies. Police need to be upgraded and comfortable with new technology, to make it possible, responsible agencies need to concerned their demands.

We have experienced, that ISIS used social media and new technologies to spread terrorism in the whole world, they invested in new inventions and strategies, it means we need more sophisticated technology to counter every terrorist activity. Security forces need new weapons, satellites, social media activist and researcher to create a model of future terror activities.
