Military Advances The Private Sector

The world of technology is insane and its potential means of action are even crazier. As it increases, the means for privacy will continue to lessen. Computers and smartphones are now watched heavily through the webcams and cameras they offer. However, this isn’t a bad thing for some circumstances. For instance, Singer discusses a positive use with this; “Now, handheld devices instantly call up a person’s Social Security number and license status, records of outstanding warrants, and even mug shots” (Singer). For officials, it is so easy to background check any citizen. If they see anything suspicious, they can just look up that individual and see past charges to potentially see the type of person they are. Although that may sound scary, those records are mostly public to everyone anyways so means of technology are only helping and making it safer for us. I agree with this overstep of privacy due to public safety but these records do release issues

However, the same technology that empowers the general public also empowers criminals and terrorists. Is it worth it to compromise the privacy of the general public in order to monitor the behavior of a select few potential criminals? Thus far, the consensus has been 'no'; every publicized effort by law enforcement to introduce general surveillance to the Internet has been met by loud public outcry. [Riley] The public simply will not permit law enforcement to do any form of monitoring that is not accompanied by probable cause and a search warrant.

With the Age of technology advancing, the more cyber-attacks are occurring. Many of our information are on computer networks and we like to think that our information is well protect. But how protected is our information? Cybersecurity bills are introduced in Congress almost every year. These bills regularly imply to permit organizations and the government to divulge dangerous information for a “cybersecurity” reason to secure and safeguard against attacks against networks and computer systems.

The growing technology industry raises many concerns and benefits as it expands. The personal assistants make proving and disproving criminals easier since that sort of information is hard to alter. Yet, the concerns that show up are related to privacy. Privacy is very much valued today even though we surround ourselves with technology. The does benefit society, though. It allows crimes to be solved faster and bringing the correct people to justice. All in all, the use of technology can, and is, very beneficial in today's society and only advancing us into the

The use of technology by law enforcement has been around for centuries and has expanded extensively over the past two decades. Telephone tapping, CCTV, GPS tracking, “bugging”, eavesdropping, night vision, and computer surveillance are many forms of a type of search and

Mostly everyone in the population owns a cell phone, which has a feature that allows it to be tracked. A perfect example is found on an iPhone because it has a feature called, “Find my iPhone” and once you turn it on it gives you the exact location of it. In the article, “That’s no Phone. That’s my Tracker” by The New York Times talks about this specific feature and the fact that the law enforcement requests for the call data (Maass 1). The article also states that the government has been monitoring the calls people have made and the location they were made. When the government asks for the data they do not need any search warrants when they ask for the location data from the carriers. The cellular device does not only track us, but also saves our text messages, our web history, and the amount of money we have saved (Maass 1). This helps prove that the government can use our own personal information against us, whenever they have evidence that we have committed a crime. The novel Nineteen Eighty- Four talks about having television monitors that recorded every person in what they did and said. The government used this to make sure crime rates went down and that fugitives were easily found (Maass 1). In the article it also states that we have been using our cell phones more for web browsing, playing games, and listening to music rather than making phone calls (Maass 1). This is honestly true

[…] “This war has been privatized more than any other war in history… forty cents of every dollar Congress controls goes to private contractors.”1

Being a young citizen of America gives one a limited view on the conflict in the Middle East. One should do their best to learn so they may gather all information and have an educated opinion. This applies to the war we started in Iran and the continuing ‘fight against terrorism’. All this fighting has bled into Syria, and American intervention in Syria, such as bombings and the search for/fight for oil, have created more of a problem in the middle east post 9/11. It's has caused not only terrorist groups to become more active, but the overall hatred for americans in syria has skyrocketed since we invaded Iran shortly after 9/11.

This idea was easier to uphold in earlier years when technology was still in its prime and not many people had access to it. In the era of technology today, the internet and new technology are quite accessible for almost anyone on the planet, thus making it quite easy to look up information about any human being. The advancement of technology has eased the burden on governments and corporations when trying to learn about the online activities of citizens. outdated privacy laws aid in the government’s ability to monitor like never before. For example, corporations, today, sell their technology to the highest bidder, expanding the surveillance apparatus for one company.

“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion” (“Alexander The Great”). This quote is from Alexander the Great, a king from the Argead Dynasty. He believed that an army with a good ruler was far superior than an army with a weak ruler. Private Military Contracting is a perfect career for those that want a physical and mental challenge, great pay rate, and want to see the world.

Government surveillance has not contributed to a decrease of percentage in crimes, but has created a controversial topic instead. Online surveillance has been an invasion of privacy, because everything the users access is seen without their consent. Due to the fact the stored data is not used, government surveillance in the united states has not been very impactful. Crimes and terrorist attacks were not stopped, and the mass storage of personal data within the last year has violated privacy laws 2,776 times (Government Surveillance 722). Surveillance online is not only unsuccessful in America, but in UK, and Canada as well. Out of every 1000 security cameras, only one camera is actually used to catch a criminal (Government Surveillance 722). However, there are several solutions that can be made to allow the usage of government surveillance without the violating the rights of Americans. Some of the solutions have already taken action, and will give users more freedom online.

For decades, various types of tracking devices have been used. These types of devices include devices such as; satellite trackers, GPS trackers, ankle monitors, and beeper trackers. To go along with the different types of devices, various types of people have used them. People using these devices include but are not limited to; jealous spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, law enforcement, parents, and even pet owners. These tracking devices can be used for many different situations, but a unfitting group adapted them into their culture. That would be law enforcement.

One agrees that both organizational systems are awfully similar to one another. The military strategy is exceptionally strategical and tactical. Furthermore, the strategy highlights clarity to the mission and includes a fast past objective by using the nine key phases. The business approach capitalizes in set objectives. However, a business strategy needs to convince the organization to join the journey; which in turn creates a mission statement by more embellished. Both set of ideas, business and military, when implemented correctly can complement each other in any organizations.

Possibly the technological feature creating the most controversy is surveillance cameras. What is seemingly there for public safety could also inhibit safety by exposing the public’s private life. Every move made under the hawk-like vision of the camera is observed and judged by someone sitting behind the scenes. Women risk being stalked by sexual predators, and assailants have been known to memorize the schedule of a subject in order to time the perfect attack (Stead). “Bad cops” may gain insight to a personal life that allows for the watcher to blackmail the victim. In recent studies it has been proven that an increase in surveillance cameras does not decrease the crime rate; it

The government will have the power to hack people’s privacy and get access to their personal information. Damaging publics’ devices with malware systems is not a part of a dismal plot of an imaginary vision, but the reality of what the US committee of justice has requested from the government to authorize [2]. The proposal was requested as at times it can be quite challenging to determine the location of a suspect who might be involved in some criminal activities using their devices [3]. In some cases, if an inspection is undergone by agents investigating a criminal who is sexually abusing children and uploading videos of that action online, on top of the use of some technological software to hide his/her physical location, agents will need a search warrant from the judge in order to specifically locate them. Approval of granting this sort of warrants may come from some judges but others may refuse due to the lack of evidence in reference to the current rule [4]. Despite the valid argument of why rule 41 may require amendments, this kind of conduct is going to impact many of those using a device that is connected to the internet world wide. These digital devices are very complicated and not easy to handle, carrying out thousands of specific actions behind their screens which governs how it functions. Hence, a small virus or malware coming into the system can bring up
