How Far Does Freedom Go?- 11/29/12
November 29, 2012
This was an interesting article for the week. There is a new law that for law enforcement to look into technology based information (i.e. social media profiles, the cloud, phones and other electronic devices) they must now have a warrant from a judge to do so. It’s odd that this law wasn’t passed before.
I feel like now that this is being passed, maybe citizens weren’t really getting the privacy we deserve in previous years. I think this new “rule” will be beneficial in giving U.S. citizens more privacy. I also agree that this will not hinder law enforcement in doing their job. They are required to have warrants for everything else- why not this? I would say this is a newsworthy story that many people would be interested in.

Interesting. It will be challenged. It seems to me if people publicize something, an officer shouldn’t have to get permission to look at it.
