Under the Fourth Amendment a person needs a warrant to investigate another person. The warrant must specify a place where a person is investigating. Federal officers should be reqired to have a court order. Title III of 1968 states that a warrant is mandatory, however, FISA disregards that statement. A probable cause is not mandatory. The Patriot Act has two sections that are not constitutional. George Bush also is misleading the United States people.
Privacy may be taken away from the people, if a warrant is not needed. Many of the eavesdroppings have been accidental/ not for terrorism. Wiretaps have been increasing. They do not need to make a showing at a court to prove relivence.Telephone companies that give out information are also invading privacy. The government could prosecute someone based on eavesdropped information.
Congress spent very little time evaluating this bill. The proper procedures were not taken before declaring the bill as a law. Congress did not consider that the law may be abused. Wiretapping is almost never used for firarms, arsons and bombs. It is more used drug offenses and gambling problems. Many members did not review the bill and many have not even looked at it still.
September 11, 2001 should not have happened because the information should have been detected. Surveillance is quietly put on place to give leaders information. There is $30 billion invested in the surveillance equiptment. Even with the cost; however, the government was not able to detect September 11, 2001. Although we can retrieve data, we are not able to make complete knowledge out of the data.

I agree with this! After reading your paper I can see how they really didn't put much thought into it. It is just a total invasion of privacy!
I never truly stopped to think about the importance that your topic has. It is something that is really very relevant to today's society and must be brought to one's awareness, especially because of the state we are currently in. Our country has a lot of problems and the last thing we need to deal with is invasion of our own privacy! You also seem have a very good insight of your stance in your debate, which is certainly very important. Very good topic to pick.
