Is Warrantless Wiretapping Justified

Supreme court rules federal investigators can wiretap into suspects phones legally, and use those conversations as evidence.

Government Wiretapping is when the government gets access without court consent is used completely illegally Every day, Hundreds of millions of people chat exchange text messages and send picture through social sites like Facebook and you don't know whether or not the government is watching you and see everything you send out they are just invading your privacy. While it may help catch criminals (terrorist drug dealers etc) it is being used to spy on millions of people ILLEGALLY there have even been some cases of government officials choosing to spy on people they know even if they know they're innocent. Why should the government be allowed to wiretap without court consent? They are looking at innocent people's information and some cases have

Thievery, the only way to get anything in this town. To go from peasants to nobles. Not too many people knew this fact but in the city of Kendash it was the only way. Kendash was know for its pyromancers, and artifacters but is now know for the thieves below the city. Few remember the pyromancers and now think they were a myth so the city could gain popularity.

So my understanding of the wiretapping was included in the patriot act was because of the terrorist attacks in 9/11. They added this patriot act for it could prevent future terrorist attacks. According to npr.org "In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress approves the U.S.A. Patriot Act to improve the government's ability to stop future terrorist attacks. It includes provisions to help streamline the process of obtaining the necessary warrants to conduct eavesdropping" I think it’s a good idea but I also think its not. I think its good because that way they can catch terrorists and prevent them for doing danger to the people. But I think it’s not a good idea because they cant just wiretap people without knowing

In the last 2 decades the U.S has endured numerous attacks against civilians, that could possibly have been prevented by reading the conversations of these individuals/groups. The NSA is focused on preventing future attacks from happening by spying on it’s civilians. To what extent should they be able to monitor us?

As the late Frank Herbert once said, “Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Federal electronic wiretapping and supervision dates to the Wiretap Act of 1968, and has only increased in the following decades. Organizations such as the National Security Agency have been empowered by FISA (United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts) to bypass the authority of the Supreme Court in determining constitutional validity on searches. Government Surveillance is unjustified because it infringes upon personal freedoms, does not guarantee safety, and is not a vital necessity.

In 1928, the United States Supreme Court approved the practice of wiretapping for the police and other government officials, though some states have banned it. (Harris, 2017) Wiretapping is regulated by both the state and federal governments and, if illegal, can be punished by criminal sanctions. When an officer observes unusual conduct which leads to reasonably to conclude that criminal activity may be afoot, the officer may make reasonable inquiries aimed at confirming or dispelling the officer's suspicions.

Firstly, Many Americans think that the NSA spying program is unconstitutional, but they are wrong. Our founding fathers and Abraham lincoln's teachings are even stronger when applies to the NSA’s surveillance program violates no constitutional provision. The National Review said “It examines only the addressee and sender emails, and telephone numbers called and called from. The supreme court has long held that such information is

The simplest and most common type of warrantless searches are searches based upon consent. [1] No warrant or probable cause is required to perform a search if a person with the proper authority consents to a search. [2] A consent search requires the person being searched to freely and voluntarily waive their Fourth Amendment rights, granting the officer permission to perform the

Privacy is what allows people to feel secure in their surroundings. With privacy, one is allowed to withhold or distribute the information they want by choice, but the ability to have that choice is being violated in today’s society. Benjamin Franklin once said, “He who sacrifices freedom or liberty will eventually have neither.” And that’s the unfortunate truth that is and has occurred in recent years. Privacy, especially in such a fast paced moving world, is extremely vital yet is extremely violated, as recently discovered the NSA has been spying on U.S. citizens for quite a while now; based on the Fourth Amendment, the risk of leaked and distorted individual information, as well as vulnerability to lack of anonymity.

The first major reason why the government should be able to spy on its citizens is because It's not necessarily the spying that people think it is. It's not like your phone is being listened to by some agent. Unless there is reason to, like if keywords were picked up on your phone. (Should the government be able to spy on its citizens?)

In a case where it would be justified, is when a crisis could have been prevented. The Boston marathon bombing is one case that brought on a new effort to concentrate on anti terrorism. The two men that were accused of the bombing could’ve been heavily monitored, which may have prevented the entire incident. They had to communicate somehow, and cell phones probably came into play. But that still may not give the government the right to spy on everyone.

The justifications provided for the leakage of the NSA unlawful spying activities also support the argument that Snowman’s act was permissible. For instance, Snowden justifies his act by stating that he relied on the U.S Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as the 1945 Nuremberg declaration. He provides his explanation for his shift from the his earlier held philosophy of nationalism by noting that people have an international duty that surpasses their national obligations of loyalty, (Scheuerman, 2014). He further expounds that sometimes national loyalty leads to national relativism whereby people overlook their country’s evils, instead preferring to focus on distant and external evils.

Today, Canadian’s lives today are as translucent as ever. Most organizations especially the government constantly watches each and every one of our moves. By definition, surveillance is any systematic focus on any information in order to influence, manage, entitle, or control those whose information is collected. (Bennet et Al, 6). From driving to the shopping mall to withdrawing money from the ATM machine, Canadians are being watched constantly. With Canada’s commitment to advance technology and infrastructure in the 1960s, government surveillance is much easier and much more prevalent than it was hundreds of years ago. Even as early as 1940s, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics used punch cards and machines to determine who is available

How would you feel if you were being spied on every moment of your life? Some of my own experiences of me feeling spied on was when I thought that my brother was controlling my mother, and I was upstairs talking to her and I was saying bad things about my brother saying that he cannot control you, you are the mother and he is the son you need to control him. Keep in mind he is my older brother. When I was finished talking to my mom I saw the bathroom door open, that moment I realized my brother was in the bathroom listening to the bad things I just said about him. He is older that me so he can beat me up anytime he wants. Other times I felt that I was spied on was when my mom told my big brother to watch me so I don´t get lost, but I think she just wanted him to watch me so I don´t get into any trouble. She made the right decision, I am handful. Another time was when my Girl Scout friend was cussing up a storm in school and one of the students there heard her
