- P. Williams writes in her essay, that the war on terror is a new type of a war. What’s new about it, how is it different from traditional wars?
But in this war targets are often unarmed civilians, rather than the people who fight for our country. Aiming at civilians is causing more of an impact. They want their point to be heard so aiming at civilians does that because it is causing fear.
- In what ways does the “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seem to violate the Bill of Rights? Which amendment(s) does it seem to violate and why?
Roving wiretaps violates the bill of rights due to privacy. Government is giving the power to basically spy on citizens’ internet activity to even a call one may get. Which is the right of freedom of speech. Another right that is being violated is the fourth amendment due to the fact that they are allowing government officials to allow sneak and peek warrants when in the constitution it states the government cannot obtain a conduct search without obtaining a warrant and having proof of probable cause to believe that the person has committed or plan on committing the alleged crime.
3.What about “Sneak and Peek” Warrants?
Sneak and peek warrants are warrants that allow authorities to search the homes and property without being notified or informed. Sneak and peek warrants violate the fourth amendment as I mentioned in question 2. Warrants should be provided to government officials who are able to prove the alleged person did the crime or is planning too.
