Citing Kyllo v. United States, Villasenor states that frequent interpretations of the Court’s…

Privacy is defined as a state in which one is not observed or disturbed by other people. So what defines privacy and “is privacy a situation, a right, a claim, a form of control or a value?” (Gavison, 1980, pg 424).

easier to record with each new invention that is created. Today the NSA, or National Security Agency, invades our privacy by noting our every move. Not only will our privacy as a whole be demolished by the government, but the way we perceive the NSA could potentially lead to distrust in the government as a whole because of the unlawful jobs they are currently working on.

because it is against the law but can cause protests and chaos. We are protected by the fourth amendment and this is why the government is not allowed to invade our privacy. We are also protected by the first amendment because it allows us to speak how we please as long as not doing it in the wrong type of manner.
