We have great reason to be paranoid because reasonable protection from unlawful search, seizure, and security in our beings has gone right out the window with the passing of the Orwellian Patriot Act. We no longer have privacy as they monitor our speech, writings, and location. One other thing I might add to this is that it is also being revealed that they can monitor our conversations while we are not speaking on our phones, but while the phone is sitting idly on our contertops, desks, etc. I wonder what other false flag they have prepared for us next in order to provide more "security" for American citizens?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-79257788594675046702011-09-02T20:47:12.624-04:002011-09-02T20:47:12.624-04:00Chris, thanks for doing this research.

I suspect that the reality is that real time monitoring of GPS locations are taking polls every 15 to 30 seconds and law enforcement are watching live plots of that information. Under that circumstance, 8 million datapoints being 'requested' per year would actually indicate between 3 and 8 people under real time surveilance at any given time. <br /><br />Vehicle tracking systems for real time monitoring of dump trucks moving around a mine site or commercial quarry record location data every 5 seconds to allow fleet dispatchers to monitor safety data and report on motion for acconting purposes. If the Sprint system records that often, 8 million data points per year would indicate a single person under real time surveilance at any given time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-78456296603580459652011-02-02T03:24:32.456-05:002011-02-02T03:24:32.456-05:00très bon blog qui délivre des informations d'u...très bon blog qui délivre des informations d'une réelle qualité,en plus malgré le fait que le blog soit ecrit en anglais,la qualité est telle qu'on s'y rend souvent!muondohttp://www.muondo.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-21908530719016427222010-10-18T14:03:26.732-04:002010-10-18T14:03:26.732-04:00Awesome work, Christopher.

(I call it a damage control tactic.)<br /><br />As I recall, an exception clause exists in the copyright laws pertaining to material shared (published, broadcasted) for "educational purposes." I believe that this includes using such information for educational essays and thesis if you name the original source(s).<br /><br />Did they provide you with absolute "proof" that the information which you shared was specifically given an official copyright protection? If so, they ought to be able to prove it by sending a copy of it to you.

I find your entire post and 99% of the res...Chris,<br /><br />I find your entire post and 99% of the responses to it absolutely comical. First of all law enforcement doesn't have the time, desire, budget or manpower to surveil anywhere near the amount of targets you and most of your paranoid readers might suspect. So the targets they are surveiling they are surveiling for good reason and that is two fold; first it assists in bringing law breakers to justice; and second it does help to protect the public when valuable information is obtained that may prevent the death of innocent people at the hands of criminals. Geolocation pings are also used to find kidknap victims and even lost hikers and hunters - those stats weren't considered in your post by your paranoid readers.<br /><br />As for the value you all seem to find in "knowing" how many people are targets of electronic surveillance/wiretaps there are - the only thing it might help you figure out is if everyone is being surveiled then you must be one of them - and that simply is not the case - see the statement above about time, money, resources etc.....<br /><br />What I find really interesting is that your purpose in posting this was to glean information for your thesis. I have to say I don't really think you got what you bargained for. Mostly ata-boys with no real meat for you to include. You got a bunch of privacy advocates who would throw caution to the wind and over expose the majority of the population, who aren't as concerned about their privacy, to potentially danagerous consequences should wiretapping, pen trap, and geolocation tools be removed from law enforcements tool kit.<br /><br />This sort of garbage has the same smack to it that news porgrams use to tell an enemy when and where we are going to strike - all in the name of FOI.<br /><br />One other thing - pen/trap, Title III and FISA all need court approval. Yes there are different levels that need to be met for each to be issued but it is as it should be. If the same levels were needed for all then there would only be one type of order issued and that would be one for EVERYTHING and that is not the case today. Either criminal court orders or FIS Court orders can be for either P/T or P/T & Title III. Pen/Trap is call identifying information only - requiring a lesser standard and Title III is for content requiring a greater standard.<br /><br />As for certain agencies not reporting pen/trap or wiretap numbers to the government well that maybe is an issue but albeit a very minor one. If you consider the number of people in this country and the numbers that have been reported you would have to times those numbers by one million to even make privacy rights even an issue for the entire population of the US. To imply that because the numbers reported are low that there must be unauthorized pen/trap and wiretaps occurring is silly and screams of the "sky is falling" logic. From the carrier side I can say that nothing is turned up without proper legal process being served by a court. For records requests - valid legal process is also required.Worked both Sidesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16750015.post-21455205818619923942009-12-26T23:18:47.477-05:002009-12-26T23:18:47.477-05:00Thought provoking, detailed - excellent stuff.
