The Fourth Amendment is fundamental and the fact it was only the fourth added should go some distance to show that. Cadillac Man knows the history in detail and there was contentious dialog between federalists for the strong central government and the hotheads for dispersed power.
The driver for the amendment was the wish to prevent the Brit way of doing things in which they would go into someone's house any time they felt like it. The Fourth Amendment was to prevent that kind of government.
That the amendment is being violated routinely by multiple police forces in the country was, I thought, common knowledge but it was relatively new to Cadillac Man so it's likely new to others as well. There was an article earlier this evening to go into the extreme surveillance measures police are taking and some idea of the level of it is shown by the number of the devices available. (Ithaka: How Cops and Politicians Destroyed America's Integrity)
Vermin Supreme, candidate for President who promises a free pony for all Americans. Yes, that is a boot on his head. He got more votes than Rick Santorum or Bobby Jindal.
Welcome to New Hampshire.
The brief history is we were satisfied the Fourth Amendment was being respected by cop work when they needed an order from a judge before they could tap phones, etc. That confidence lasted until Reagan when he threw out a citizen's Miranda rights along with general Fourth Amendment protections and Cadillac Man wanted to make a point of how much Earl Warren had been a part of rulings which originally conferred the rights of the modern age of the Fourth Amendment ... and which have been steadily eroding ever since Reagan.
The escalation in electronic surveillance has been primarily in the last twenty years in which more and more police units saw it as a fundamental part of police work to surveil everything all the time. We see that with the Stingray electronic fishing expeditions which harvest all cell phone traffic in a given area with minimal or no judicial permission required but the larger problem is the NSA class of cops are surveilling all that traffic anyway.
The escalations in police intrusions at local and global levels was, I thought, something which has been clearly publicized but that isn't taking into account Facebook and filtered news. Part of the problem is people don't know and the other part is they don't want to know. The reason is unknown but likely it's too scary for them to face ... but that's how it got out of control in the first place.
The mystery is a long-time mutual friend of Cadillac Man and I is a DNS Master (i.e. Deep Network Skullduggery) and he's engaged in some way with the cat and mouse interplay of Internet white hats and black hats. He's an extremely intelligent fellow with a hotshot PhD in RHS (i.e. Really Hard Stuff) and he's highly ethical yet he's inside the machine. It's not like the movies with some whacko hacker kid in a basement as he's my age and he's been hammering on software and networks since the eighties. His engagement is legal on the side of the white hats.
He's been distant for some time so there's concern the machine has eaten him. As post-9/11 security increased, his world seemingly got drawn into it. Hearing how it all balances for him would be most interesting but it's almost certainly classified.
Out here in the Rockhouse, the difference between the white hats and the black hats isn't much when it comes to violating the Fourth Amendment so it's a great puzzle why anyone would support that. There's no answer when there's too little information so that winds up as Hmm, That's Strange.
