1. The war of terror is a new type of war that’s way different from traditional wars that the United States has partook in. It didn’t manifest as the typical war, two or more opposing countries that clash on a battlefield. As it implies in the name, it’s vague and targets all terrorist groups globally. And to protect against these groups, mass surveillance is been placed everywhere in the US. It’s a new type of war that extends way past the battlefield.
  2. Roving wiretaps exist to aid with mass surveillance. They’re able to monitor phones and internet accounts without gaining a warrant, targeting suspects who may have a ‘burner phone’. Roving wiretaps violate the Fourth Amendment because they have loopholes to avoid the the warrant requirement. This violates probable cause and is extremely invasive to ones privacy.
  3. “Sneak and Peak” warrants violate the Fourth Amendment because they let police search a place without telling the owner right away, which diminishes the Fourth Amendment. It weakens the right to be free from unreasonable searches and it’s way harder to fight against this warrant.
