Lisa Hart's Meaning To The Freedom Of Information Act, FOA
Lisa Hart is referring to the Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, which requires the federal government agencies to release records to the public. The information must not fall into one of nine exempted FOIA categories. Hart is correct in assuming that the EPA should allow her access to the documents because they are a government agency and the documents she is requesting do not fall under one of the nine exemptions.

    Surveillance Is Necessary By Anna Alang Summary

    In the excerpt, Surveillance is Necessary the author, Dan White is stating an argument that people who have a different ethnic background are more likely to be shoplifters. I disagree with this argument because anyone can be a shoplifter. It shouldn’t matter what race they are. People would agree with white's argument because in the article “ Racial Profiling- it works” by Anna Amberg, states “it's a rational judgment, based on facts, that helps us make sense of our would.” (Amberg Paragraph 3)…

    Cispa: the Big Brother Law

    Yasha Harari once said, “As the Internet grows, the choice of massive online social networks dwindles, and with it, your right to keep private your psycho pink bunny outfit pics.” That may sound ridiculous but it’s very true. The government has been trying more and more different ways to introduce regulations to ensure the security of the internet. The current bill is CISPA, which was defeated once before. It has been returned completely unchanged and is so far being carried through. With all the amazing advancements in the technology we use to share information, that’s understandable. But are they going about it in the right way? Recently there have been pieces of legislation introduced like ACTA, SOPA, and PIPA that have had mixed responses from the public, and so far the opposition has been strongest. There are many who believe that these bills are doing more bad than good, particularly in the area of online privacy.…

    America's Privacy

    The National Security Agency (NSA) is a federal program under the Department of Defense that has the primarily task of global monitoring, collection, decoding, translation and analysis of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, including surveillance of targeted individuals on U.S. soil. In the mid-1970s, the NSA was investigated for the first time by Congress. At that time, the order of the NSA was that is “would never direct it’s surveillance apparatus domestically.” After the investigation was performed, Frank Church, the Democratic senator who was the head of the investigative committee, warned: “The NSA’s capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversation, telegrams, it doesn’t matter” (Greenwald). Recent leakage of government documents, that shows evidence of immense domestic spying, has many Americans worried that Frank Church’s warning has become a reality. So, what exactly is the NSA collecting and why? How does the United States’ data collection compare to that of other countries? And most importantly, have the government and the NSA put the privacy of US citizens at risk?…

    The Fourth Amendment And Privacy

    The Fourth Amendment protects us citizens from the searching of our homes and private property without properly executed search warrants. If law enforcement wants to collect these records such as GPS tracking or cell phone tracking, they will need a search warrant based on probable cause. This constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment because it violates the individuals reasonable expectation of privacy. You would think that your location would be private and expect it to remain private, but that is not the case. When law enforcement seeks the cell phone location and this individual is inside his or her house, they cross the line by learning facts about the interior of the home, which is clearly illegal without a warrant. Let's say the…
