1. According to P Williams, the war on terror was viewed as a new kind of war due to the lack of clear enemy and ending.Traditional wars are typically fought between nations/states with armies and defined geographic borders, however, the war on terror is fought against terroristic actions/groups that take place throughout multiple locations–and usually kept in secrecy.
  2. Roving wiretaps allows for the government to monitor a suspect without establishing a specific device that will be tapped, meaning that if the individual being monitored switched devices they’d be able to continue the surveilance without a new warrant being issued.This practice violates the fourth Amendment as it can be classified as an unreasonable search/seizure due to the lack of specification regarding which device is being surveilled.
  3. Similarly to ‘Roving Wiretaps”, Sneak and Peak warrants violate the fourth amendment.These warrants allow for the law enforcement to enter an individuals house/property without their knowledge, and intentionally delay when the person is notified. This is classified as a breach of privacy/abuse of power.
