When she got to the porch area she hears a ruckus coming from inside the house. When she looked at the other front door she saw Romo fidgeting with the handle. She confronted Romo. Romo called out is that you Bill. Martin yelled at Romo “What the hell are you doing.”…
The Spy Who Fired Me by Esther Kaplan is excellent reading that shows the reality of future/present employment. It explains how companies are able to evaluate the performances of their employees by monitoring them. The monitoring can show whether an employee is even benefitting the company or not. Companies are basically benefitting themselves through the use of technology but instead it is impacting the workers. One quote that I found curious was, “…..retailers are better served when they see employees as potential profit centers, and not just as “a big bucket of costs” to be cut.”…
4 MONTHS LATER… The threesome that Libby formed with her boyfriend Kendall and his best friend Nico was like something out a dream. She had never felt so pleasured in her entire life. Nico brought out the animalistic, primal side of Kendall. Before Nico, Kendall was way too unsure and shy in bed. Once Nico came around, Kendall turned into a more aggressive version of himself which Libby loved.…

The dealers at the highest levels are also facing decades in prison or life. Therefore, they have incentives to exaggerate the stature of their underlings. Furthermore, they will in many cases lie to implicate completely innocent people in order to produce more convictions for the prosecutors. As a result, it creates a chain reaction with more informants implicating other innocent people. There is no community that has been affected more by the informant system than the black community.…
"Excuse me," I murmured. " Mrs. Karen, Luke asked you a question." Mrs. Karen froze. She didn't respond, she didn't move, all she did was stare at the dim, glowing screen of her phone. When she finally did dare to move, a sorrowful facial expression spreed across her face as she turned off her phone.…
The doors to the oval office blew open and supreme authority guided the Aide’s rush toward the President’s desk. He held a shotgun with both of his hands. The oversized battle helmet rattled around the crown of his head as he stomped toward his destination. He knew everything he needed to say and how he wanted to say it. He was ready.…
Since the horrific events of September 11 2001, the Congress has passed the Patriot Act and approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives. But on October 26, when the President Bush signed the Act, no House of Representatives or the Senate reports this. The extensive terrorist attack may be decreased, but the Patriot Act still have false charge and still be accused of dangerous rise of the government surveillance. It’s true that the Patriot Act has acted to violate privacy expectations and suspect regular Americans citizens. “It violates the privacy of millions of innocent people” (source 1).…
Maxwell “Start Snitching” “Start Snitching” By Bill Maxwell. His idea for making crime riddled communities safer. Snitching may be a way to catch the killers that remain at large, that keep adding names to the list of deaths. In a lot of cases police have a hard time catching a kill when there is no lead, by snitching (Informing the police of an information that someone has of a crime.) may lead to criminals being put behind bars. According to Maxwell the low-income black community needs to snitch.…
My partner, Armando and I, both believe that the government should be allowed to obtain wiretaps on anyone whom they deem suspicious without court oversight. However, Logan and Tabitha believe the opposite and have reasons why. Those reasons include personal information about people being leaked because the court oversight were seen to be failing or ignored, and people getting very mad because the government can monitor a large portion of a certain population without them even having a single clue. The points have convinced many people that this is wrong and we need to do something about it, but they do not know the other side and why those point are wrong.…
“We tortured some folks.” Barack Obama, President of the United States, said in response to the release of the CIA torture report when he addressed post-9/11 America. Senator Dianne Feinstein accused the CIA of spying on the Senate’s intelligence committee. John Brennan, director of the CIA, denied that accusation. However, an investigation brought forth the truth; the CIA had penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee and found that the Senate was preparing a report that revealed information about the CIA’s detention and interrogation program.…

It specifically changed Section 215 which allowed the United States National Security to collect phone records in bulk. After this act was issued the list was expanded to include computer crimes, terrorist, and chemical weapons.…
Law enforcement use: Currently, law enforcement has the power to use a great amount of discretion when dealing with incentivized criminal informants. In the majority of cases involving law enforcement discretion it is for example an individual being caught selling a small amount of drugs but law enforcement offers to let them go without any charges if they give up the name and location of the bigger dealer. The idea behind this is understandable, but it leads to wrongful convictions. The solution for this problem would be requiring law enforcement to gain approval using the information the informant gave. This would need to be done by a judge and would help restore checks and balances throughout the system.…
It was a tedious night in the office with a profusion of paperwork, and waiting around for for felonious acts to be committed. So as, just to alleviate the monotony in the small room. I remember the how the ring of the incoming call suffused its way throughout the room until all eyes found the source of it. I couldn’t wait to see what vermin we got to clean off of the streets today, for our moral citizens’ sake. I hoped it wouldn’t be a false plea or a call from an official.…
It gave the power to suppress any opposition to the war, and suspended the mailing privileges of many opposition and peace organizations. According to David Greenberg in his article, “The Hidden History of the Espionage Act”, the law had a justifiable legitimate purpose, but soon became problematic (Greenberg par. 4). Its wording was vague, and left too much opportunity for misinterpretation by overzealous vigilante groups and overly aggressive law enforcement agencies (Greenberg par. 6). Probably the most disgraceful and abusive use of this law was by the Postmaster General Albert Burleson. Viewed as an intolerant belligerent by his peers, Burleson canceled mailing privileges for a number of groups he considered radical or revolutionary (Greenberg par.…
