1. What makes the war on terror a new type of war is because it is a war that is fought internally against ourselves that cross the limits that we had once always protected. Old wars were always against an opposing threat outside the nation, however, after 9/11, the threat of a internal terrorist assaults’ cause the nation to change its prospective on our liberties. It made them change their idea that liberties are always protected, and allows them to violate them if they deem it a necessary action to ensure safety. Because this is a general term, its now makes it easier for the nation to unrightfully violate a persons rights and claim that its for a better cause. This new war we have internally is dangerous because it can cause a loss of trust between those who are be violated and our government.
  2. Rovering wiretap is such a violation of the bill of rights because it destroys both the freedom of speech in the 1st amendment, as well as the freedom to not self-incriminate of the 5th amendment. Its a direct violation of these rights because these wiretaps are placed without the consent or awareness of the defendant can lead to them having their words used against them in a way they didn’t intend on. When people speak with their lawyers they could be giving out information that will incriminate them however were under the idea that they were have a private discussion, and didn’t want those details to be public.
  3. Sneak and Peek warrants also violate the 4th amendment which is to be protected under reasonable search. The sneak and peek warrants allow the FBI to delay their warrant while obtaining legal entry into the house of a suspect. This directly goes against the amendment because it unconstitutionally goes against the privacy of a person’s home and the rights they have to their private property. The sneak peek gives the FBI that chance to surprise search the house if they consider it reasonable.
