You mischaracterize the NSA/Verizon controversy. Spoken words are not involved in the data mining. Only phone numbers, dates/times of calls, duration of calls, and connections.

Not . . one . . citizen . . . . . NOT ONE CITIZEN has stepped forward to show how they were inconvenienced, embarrassed or harmed by this program.

omg, Aswad, armageddon! As YN said these are wireless transmissions and there is a doubtful expectation of privacy, like it or not. The information is already being sold to Big Biz and hacked wantonly. One would have to be naive to believe they have privacy in what they put out over the wireless.


I never said armageddon.

The distinction between crying armageddon and noting that there have been offers made from organized criminal elements for certain aggregate datasets is apparently lost on you, however, and I'm not in a mood to educate you. Consider it or ignore it as you will. It's of little consequence to me, since I don't care to take the offers made.

IWYW,

The court allowed... no, pretty much forced Verizon to give over all the data from a 3-month period. It wasn't about getting a warrant to watch a particular phone number or set of numbers. It was every number.

what anyone does is their own business. they do not have the legitimate authority to SPY on anyone without a court order.

Yes it is an inconvenience and in fact a violation of con rights as well as a due process violation.

quote:

Katz involved eavesdropping by means of an electronic listening device placed on the outside of a telephone booth—a location not within the catalog ("persons, houses, papers, and effects") that the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches. We held that the 33*33 Fourth Amendment nonetheless protected Katz from the warrantless eavesdropping because he "justifiably relied" upon the privacy of the telephone booth. Id., at 353. As Justice Harlan's oft-quoted concurrence described it, a Fourth Amendment search occurs when the government violates a subjective expectation of privacy that society recognizes as reasonable. See id., at 361. We have subsequently applied this principle to hold that a Fourth Amendment search does not occur—even when the explicitly protected location of a house is concerned—unless "the individual manifested a subjective expectation of privacy in the object of the challenged search," and "society [is] willing to recognize that expectation as reasonable." Ciraolo, supra, at 211. We have applied this test in holding that it is not a search for the police to use a pen register at the phone company to determine what numbers were dialed in a private home, Smith v. Maryland, 442 U. S. 735, 743-744 (1979), and we have applied the test on two different occasions in holding that aerial surveillance of private homes and surrounding areas does not constitute a search, Ciraolo, supra; Florida v. Riley, 488 U. S. 445 (1989).

The present case involves officers on a public street engaged in more than naked-eye surveillance of a home. We have previously reserved judgment as to how much technological enhancement of ordinary perception from such a vantage point, if any, is too much. While we upheld enhanced aerial photography of an industrial complex in Dow Chemical, we noted that we found "it important that this is not an area immediately adjacent to a private home, where privacy expectations are most heightened," 476 U. S., at 237, n. 4 (emphasis in original).

Reversing that approach would leave the homeowner at the mercy of advancing technology— including imaging technology that could discern all human 36*36 activity in the home. While the technology used in the present case was relatively crude, the rule we adopt must take account of more sophisticated systems that are already in use or in development.[3

information is only collected if it is useable in some form. Peoples actions and daily activities are their own private affair both in and out of the home.

any information collected without a probable cause and a warrant is a serious inconvenience and trespass.

the courts have no been broad enough and in the katz case there would have been a suit there against the telephone company as well regardless of the supreme court decision.


and you dont stand a snowballs chance in hell against me in a 911 debate LOL




YN -> RE: Can you hear me now? NSA & Verizon can (6/7/2013 9:53:36 PM)

General reply

You people seem to think what a court says is the relevant factor. If I, as an Interior ministry official know what you are about, the court is an after thought.

If a reliable bird or monkey tells me you are transporting a hundred kilos of cocaine in a yellow Toyota truck, with a license of340 GBT I do not need a court order or warrant, it is certain any member of the National Police can find some innocent reason to stop you. I can follow anyone in traffic and find a valid reason to stop them.

THIS time. This has been going on for years. I mean.. these exact same warrants have been being issues for years. It's just this one leaked.




jlf1961 -> RE: Can you hear me now? NSA & Verizon can (6/8/2013 12:09:48 AM)

I have said this has been going on since the Bush administration, and I will lay odds that Verizon was not the only service provider that turned over records.

Ever since the Patriot Acts were passed, and renewed by Obama (another fuck up by the man IMO) people in this country should give up the belief that the government is not checking on cell phones, text messages, email, forum posts.

Democrat or Republican, big brother is here.

Get used to it.

Oh, and satellite phones are not any more secure.

Even in no contract cell phones, your name is on the account. Granted you can give a false name, and that will help you hide, but the call records are still there.

I know it's just this leaked document. And, I don't have any faith that this is the first/only time it's been done, either. I still don't see how it complies with the section of US Code cited in the court document.

You should not have any such faith. Obviously, you cannot have much faith in me either. But I have pretty much rock solid faith in where I'm getting this particular info from... "the horse's mouth" would be a fair description. It has been going on for years and it is much more than Verizon.

Here's the astonishing thing to me. Not only are so many people apparently completely cool with the government tracking LITERALLY their every activity but on top of that they don't mind the expense. So all the liberals who think I should be cool with Obama for this... you don't think the billions and billions of dollars being spent to develop the data centers for this might not be used more profitably for other purposes? You don't think, for instance, that perhaps rebuilding some bridges or any of those other good social infrastructure things we all talk about might not be a more prudent expense? I shudder to think how much improvement we might make in schools, for instance, if we were to pour 20, 30, or 40 billion dollars into them. But instead we find it necessary to bring the war on Terrorism to American citizens.

Is this REALLY what you would do if you were president?

I'd much rather see that money going towards border security construction at this point.

Here's what I want to know (and you broached the subject, but I won't go off topic more than to ask the question): wtf happened to all the money that was supposed to be taking care of infrastructure (gas taxes, etc.)?!?

I am perfectly okay with tracking the calls, including content, made to/from known terrorists/spies (defined very specifically, and not some blanket definition that would cover damn near every person), but only those calls.

I can only agree that improvements school would see with that cash would be infrastructure related. I don't see the school achievement issue as being infrastructure related, though.

I would much rather imagine what would happen if that $20-40B wasn't even fucking spent at all.

That is sheer nonsense. Witness this fellow Castro in Ohio who held three girls captive inside his home for ten years. How does that square with privacy in the home?

Well, there were court orders. This was not an executive branch only action.

Furthermore, why does it matter to you since by your past writing you do not recognize the legitimacy of any branches of the Federal government. You can't have it both ways.




JeffBC -> RE: Can you hear me now? NSA & Verizon can (6/8/2013 11:15:47 AM)

Yeah.. I'd forgotten the "not spend it at all" option. More specifically, I think we can divide this into two steps.

A) Don't spend it on stupid stuff.
B) Now decide if it's best to spend it on paying down the debt, infrastructure projects, or some other thing.

And like you, I don't want to completely disable law enforcement. I just want some freakin limits & boundaries on what they may and may not do. I am not Obama's pet. But yeah.. if they came up with some reasonably specific definition and then only enabled tracking on such individuals AND had external audits to check for abuse AND maybe a few other safeguards I might be OK with this. I'd also want some sort of massive CRIMINAL penalty for anyone involved in abusing such surveillance systems. I want some REAL deterrence on that which needs to reach all the way to the oval office. I'd call abuse of such a thing treason and punish it accordingly by the president or senior staff.

Insofar as the money that was supposed to be taking care of that crap, they stole it of course (they, being our leaders). It's kind of like social security. It's just plain stolen money.

I can imagine that is what the French said when they built the Maginot line and gave little thought to the new technology ~ airplanes and tanks and radio. And so here we are to spend the money building a physical fence along our southern border during the new era of cyber transmission of information? I hope you will consider the irony.

Yup. Agree. That is the purpose of FISA overview. So, what's the big deal?

OK, maybe I'm being a bit slow here... but you are AGREEING? Because here's the rub.

DS said, "made to/from known terrorists/spies (defined very specifically)". I'm in agreement with that. So are you. We are all in agreement that is the purpose of the FISA court.

So then, given that the FISA warrant applies to ALL Americans, it would appear the US government is treating all Americans as "known terrorists and spies"

Do you see it differently?

It would be irony if we only have illegal digital immigration, however...

The FISC document from the OP doesn't require there to be any specific terrorist/spy. How 'bout we start there?

of course holding someone captive against their will is a trespass on the person, but then slavery is legal in the US anyway. How is private slavery or being held captive different from our US state sanctioned (and very public) bond slavery?

the defacto authority in force does not negate the legitimate authority of the original creators.

I have shown you copies from the library, incontrovertible proof, on several occasions that the people, the inhabitants, were in fact "sovereigns", yet you persist in labeling it ct shit.

Lets see, the Bush administration did it, and the democrats screamed about invasion of privacy, and the Republicans came back with the intel gathered was worth the tactics used.

The Obama administration is doing and the Republicans are screaming invasion of privacy. and the liberals are coming back with reasons on why it is ok now that BO is doing it.

And considering that Verizon's costumer service sucks, their contracts reek of extortion, and Lindsey Graham is a verizon costumer who thinks it is okay.

Exactly. Which pretty much means nobody is actually concerned about state surveillance. We just want our team to win. Then again, that could be said of poverty, education, election reform, and pretty much everything else.
