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?
Informed by P. Williams in “This Dangerous Patriot’s Game”, the war on terror is a new type of war because it is a war against the mind. The war on terror can translate to a war on anyone who makes us feel afraid. The war on terror is different from traditional wars because this war has no specificity, it is not a war on land, idols or resources, but a war being guided on fear, which is varying from person to person.
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 seem to violate the Bill of Rights because it can allow investigators to potentially obtain information from innocent parties that might have only casually met the suspect. This seems to violate Amendment IV,“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” because it can lead to privacy violations of parties who have come in contact with the accused.
What about “Sneak and Peek” Warrants?
Sneak and Peek Warrants could potentially violate the Bill of Rights because it allows investigators to search a suspect’s premises without immediately notifying the suspect. This could potentially violate Amendment IV for the same reasoning in question two but also possibly Amendment IX due to the fact that it could breach common-law and/or the natural rights of an innocent individual.
