The Patriot Act is a government bill hastily passed after the days of the 911 terrorist attacks. In essence it is essentially an extension of a currently existing program called FISA, which allows for spying on other countries. This program costs a total of 64 billion dollars a year. And it also allows for government overreach in the form of civilian surveillance which is supposed to be prohibited by the 4th amendment (Costly 2). However the Patriot Act hasn't stopped any terrorist attacks…

The USA PATRIOT ACT stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (Deflem, McDonough, 2015). It makes a person wonder if the name came first, or if the desire to have something seem…

The Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015, is an act of Canadian Parliament that is colloquially referred to as ‘Bill C-51’ or ‘the Bill’, and any mentions of such will, unless explicitly stated, refer to the Act as it was passed and not to the proposed Bill. Bill C-51’s aim is to increase intelligence sharing, and expand the powers of both CSIS and the politics with regard to potential acts of terrorism. The Bill’s passage was remarkably controversial, supported only by the Canadian Progressive Conservative…

which they had turned down multiple times before. His administration did this by implying that any members who wouldn’t participate in the signing of the act would be blamed for any further attacks in relation to terrorism ("Surveillance Under the USA/PATRIOT Act" 2). The predicament that the administration put these authoritative people in shows how the lengths they would take to pursue the signing of the Patriot Act. Not only were the Senate, Congress and House of Representatives manipulated…

“The Signals Intelligence mission collects, processes, and disseminates intelligence information from foreign signals for intelligence and counterintelligence purposes and to support military operations. This Agency also enables Network Warfare operations to defeat terrorists and their organizations at home and abroad, consistent with U.S. laws and the protection of privacy and civil liberties.” With the sharp incline in the number of terrorist attacks and cyberattacks, the government cannot…

Girl scouts When i was about 8, i'd been forced to join the girl scouts against my many misgivings to have something to do for the summer. I'm not much of a people person and i don’t like working in groups especially because i felt that the older girls were mean and the girls my age or younger were annoying. But i stayed for two years and it wasn't all bad on occasion we’d have fun and i didn't have to try too hard with cookies sales because my mother and grandma always took it upon themselves…

The Patriot Act was instated in 2002 after the tragic 9/11 event. Times have changed and so have the objectives of the Patriot Act. The government should not have the power of surveillance because it is not being used as intended and gives the US a bad reputation. The government should not have the power of surveillance because it is not being used as intended. As a result of 9/11, the government understandably was committed to keeping Americans safe at any cost. Setting overly protective…

Did you know that the NSA has stoped 54 terrorist organizations before they were able to harm anyone in the past 2 years. The government should spy on citizens but some people would say otherwise. Some people believe that the government could stop drug dealers and terrorist attempts. However some people think it is a loss of privacy. The government spying on us is a good thing because it is a easier way of finding information about illegal acts that people make and be beneficial to solving cases…

The Patriot Act issued a new era in electronic surveillance. Expanding the intelligence after the wake of the September 11th attacks. (Kevan, 2015). 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. (Hall, 2015). In conjunction with this there is no warrant required to retrieve voice-mail only an administrative…

operating in the United States (Hearing, 2017, 2). The US government continues to use FISA for this purpose. FISA has frequently been amended to maintain and enhance a comprehensive statutory framework for gathering foreign intelligence. For example, the USA Patriot Act amended FISA in 2001, the Protect America Act of 2007 completely revised FISA in…
