Slightly agree

No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it

Although recognizing the potential benefits of technology in enhancing public safety, the Nationals' wariness of government misuse and overreach might lead to some support for this stance, albeit cautiously.

Slightly agree

No, it sets a dangerous precedent for government control over citizens

Slightly disagree

No, this would be too expensive to implement

Cost concerns are valid but might not be the primary factor for the Nationals' stance on surveillance technology. Their focus would likely be more on the implications for privacy and government overreach than on financial aspects alone.
