I Always Feel Like Somebodies Watching...

          


          Welcome back bloggers. Please don't let the title scare you. The governments so good at spying on citizens I hardly even notice. Evidently loads of bills were introduced last year in regards to privacy. Most measures included limits on data collection from license-plate readers; stronger privacy rules regarding social media accounts and limitations on personal tracking via cell phone. Many of those bills were offered prior to revelations about the extent of data collection by the National Security Agency (NSA). There is no mystery or surprise that people are wanting to act against the governments proclaimed unconstitutional practices. 
            According to an analysis from the ACLU, the NSA's  mass surveillance of American citizens has found a great expansion through the years since the 9/11 attacks.  The post claims that, recent disclosures have shown that the government is regularly tracking phone calls of almost every American citizen. If that isn't already a problem, then the fact that the government might also be spying on a vast number of Americans' international calls, text messages, emails, and social media sites, might be a bit well let's see... INTOLERABLE . 
          As stated before these theories have been speculated before, and own an accused claim under authority through the Patriot Act. The USA Patriot Act is an act, signed into law, by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. Criticisms of the law acknowledge that the permission given by law enforcement officers, to search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s consent or knowledge, is unconstitutional. Since its rise to legal standards, It has definitely faced some legal challenges and have been brought to Federal courts only to face the funk, that a number of provisions within the act itself are unconstitutional.This political obscurity of justice, somehow suggests to our very beautiful government that it is OK for them to collect a record of every single phone call made by every single American "on an ongoing daily basis."
            I'm not really sure how to feel about this, nor do I believe that US citizens will be able to do much about these speculations, if they are indeed true. Constitutionally, this program does not only exceed and infiltrate  the authority given by Congress, but it also violates the right of privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment, and the rights of free speech and association protected by the First Amendment.  Despite these theories, we the public have yet to officially receive a full story about how the Patriot Act is being used to collect information on Americans. This is definitely something you might want to keep your eye on folks, because someone just might have their eye on you.
