Cyber Law and Privacy – Is The Game Going to Change Once Again?
On your personal computer are many things, private things, and things which are no one else’s business. Bank account numbers, private emails, and all sorts of things. Likewise, when you go online to search various things – that’s your business, perhaps you are planning on going to a movie, out to dinner, or shopping for a gift. It’s really none of anyone else’s business. Unfortunately, authorities would have you believe that it is their business.
Well, that’s a scary thought really, especially in the wake of the tabloid scandal listening in on voice mails of the families of murder victims in England. Let’s discuss all this for a moment shall we?
There was an interesting article on SlashDot (News for Geeks Recently) titled “Law Enforcement Still Wants Mandatory ISP Log Retention” posted by Soulskill on July 12, 2011 who cites Schwit1 from CNET, which stated;
“Law enforcement representatives are planning to endorse a proposed federal law that would require ISPs to store logs about their customers for 18-months, and a board member of the National Sheriffs’ Association says ISPs do not store customer records long enough. ‘The limited data retention time and lack of uniformity among retention from company to company significantly hinders law enforcement’s ability to identify predators when they come across child pornography’. They want any stored logs available to be used to prosecute any type of crime.”
Okay so, I want to collect and prosecute the bad guys and evil-doers as much as anyone else. I have no use for drug dealers, child molesters, murderers, or anyone else that would create heinous crimes against humanity for that matter. However, I also know that in our Constitution our personal belongings are not to be searched or seized without our permission. And no government official, or police are allowed to enter your home and look at your personal belongings, personal journal, or anything else that you own.
So then, why is it okay to command ISPs, and cloud computing companies to save data and information that is personal, even when you’ve deleted it, or don’t wish that information to be collected? Yes, I don’t doubt that it could help solve crimes, and it would be nice to solve crimes, I really believe that. But certainly not at the expense of personal freedom, this is the United States of America still. And if the National Sheriff’s Association is able to lobby such a law into existence, one could ask exactly how they are helping the American people or protecting them?
After all, The National Sheriff’s Association is supposed to be protecting people, and protecting their rights, and they are even swear to uphold the law and constitution, so may I ask why they are lobbying to take away rights from citizens and go against the law of the land? I find this fascinating. I also find it quite troubling, and if you love freedom and liberty you to understand. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
