1 The war against terror is different from traditional wars since it’s not waged between armies and states. It’s a war against the unseen forces such as individuals and terrorist groups. It doesn’t have a front, timeframe, or end. It also gives more power to the government within the country, even over its citizens.
2 Roving wiretaps seem to violate the Fourth Amendment as they allow the government to wiretap multiple devices of an individual without naming which one. The Fourth Amendment requires warrants by name, and this type of eavesdropping circumvents that.
3 Sneak and Peek warrants are also a breach of the Fourth Amendment. They allow the government to enter one’s house without notifying the person right away. That denies the person the right to be aware of, object to, or stop the search, which goes against the right of privacy and due process.
