The I.R.S. uses a law that is supposed to be used to catch criminals doing crimes like drug trafficking but instead of catching the real criminals they are catching business owners that they don’t even have a proof that they committed a serious crime. For example, Carole Hinders a small restaurant owner had 30,000 dollars taken from her because she was depositing her money in less than 10,000 dollars at a time which they considered that to avoid triggering. The agents could take the money without filling out a criminal complaint.

 * This article is about how the government is tracking your movements. New technologies show that your every movement can be recorded by the government by the location of you cell phone. This violates our rights of privacy by tracking where we are 24.7. Its shows what officers can do with all of you location data on electronic device. There is a video in this article that explains exactly how government can keep track of where you are at all times. If they are trying to solve a crime case they can use the data from where you phone was at any given time. Freedom from unreasonable government snooping has always been a foundation of liberty in America. The government being able to track your location, also gives them more personal information without showing probable cause to a judge. So, technically they are working around our rights the Fourth Amendment protects. In this article, it describes how you can be tracked by license plate readers.

Corresponding Criticism ( http://gator.ndm.edu/~mcooper/privacy.html )

Pros: - Protects innocent parties in criminal matters. - Ideal for crimes that lack victims who want to file complaints. - It is an invisible search that provides detailed information. - It produces search like results without physical intrusion. Cons: - May involve intrusion on people who only had casual contact with a criminal. - Potential for abuse of the law. - May involve collecting and storing information about people who are not criminals.
