  • Electronic Communications Surveillance
    Electronic Communications Surveillance LAUREN REGAN “I think you’re misunderstanding the perceived problem here, Mr. President. No one is saying you broke any laws. We’re just saying it’s a little bit weird that you didn’t have to.”—John Oliver on The Daily Show1 The government is collecting information on millions of citizens. Phone, Internet, and email habits, credit card and bank records—vir- tually all information that is communicated electronically is subject to the watchful eye of the state. The government is even building a nifty, 1.5 million square foot facility in Utah to house all of this data.2 With the recent exposure of the NSA’s PRISM program by whistleblower Edward Snowden, many people—especially activists—are wondering: How much privacy do we actually have? Well, as far as electronic pri- vacy, the short answer is: None. None at all. There are a few ways to protect yourself, but ultimately, nothing in electronic communications is absolutely protected. In the United States, surveillance of electronic communications is governed primarily by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA), which is an extension of the 1968 Federal Wiretap act (also called “Title III”) and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Other legislation, such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), sup- plement both the ECPA and FISA. The ECPA is divided into three broad areas: wiretaps and “electronic eavesdropping,” stored messages, and pen registers and trap-and-trace devices. Each degree of surveillance requires a particular burden that the government must meet in order to engage in the surveillance.

  • THE BRIDGE BETWEEN the WAR on DRUGS and the WAR on TERRORISM Gerald G. Ashdown* the Reaction to The
    THE BLUEING OF AMERICA: THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE WAR ON DRUGS AND THE WAR ON TERRORISM Gerald G. Ashdown* I. INTRODUCTION The reaction to the Vietnam War protest years, the presidency of Richard Nixon, and ultimately that of Ronald Reagan, ushered in a conservative revolution in the United States that still endures. Republican Presidents during this period have appointed eleven Justices to the United States Supreme Court,1 seven of whom serve on the Court today.2 Coinciding with this historical phenomenon was the proliferation of drug usage in the country: first marijuana, hallucinogenic drugs, and amphetamines during the counterculture years of the late ’60s and ’70s, and later powder and then crack cocaine. When prosecutorial emphasis shifted, especially at the federal level,3 to meet the increased fascination with narcotics, courts in the country became deluged with drug cases, many if not most of which presented Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues. This, of course, was because the Fourth Amendment’s exclusionary rule could make the corpus of the crime unavailable to the prosecution.4 Due to the presence of this important Fourth Amendment issue in drug prosecutions, both state and federal, a significant number of these cases found their way to the United States Supreme Court for review. In most of these cases, the Court did not disappoint the Republican Presidents who had appointed a majority of the Justices. Under the tutelage of Chief Justices * James A. “Buck” & June M.

  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Terrorism Investigations
    The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Terrorism Investigations Jerome P. Bjelopera Specialist in Organized Crime and Terrorism April 24, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41780 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Terrorism Investigations Summary The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI, the Bureau) is the lead federal law enforcement agency charged with counterterrorism investigations. Since the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks, the FBI has implemented a series of reforms intended to transform itself from a largely reactive law enforcement agency focused on investigations of criminal activity into a more proactive, agile, flexible, and intelligence-driven agency that can prevent acts of terrorism. This report provides background information on key elements of the FBI terrorism investigative process based on publicly available information. It discusses • several enhanced investigative tools, authorities, and capabilities provided to the FBI through post-9/11 legislation, such as the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001; the 2008 revision to the Attorney General’s Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations (Mukasey Guidelines); and the expansion of Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF) throughout the country; • intelligence reform within the FBI and concerns about the progress of those reform initiatives; • the FBI’s proactive, intelligence-driven posture in its terrorism investigations using preventative policing techniques such as the “Al Capone” approach and the use of agent provocateurs; and • the implications for privacy and civil liberties inherent in the use of preventative policing techniques to combat terrorism. This report sets forth possible considerations for Congress as it executes its oversight role.

  • Reviving Telecommunications Surveillance Law Paul M
    Reviving Telecommunications Surveillance Law Paul M. Schwartz t INTRODUCTION Consider three questions. How would one decide if there was too much telecommunications surveillance in the United States or too lit- tle? How would one know if law enforcement was using its surveil- lance capabilities in the most effective fashion? How would one assess the impact of this collection of information on civil liberties? In answering these questions, a necessary step, the logical first move, would be to examine existing data about governmental surveil- lance practices and their results. One would also need to examine and understand how the legal system generated these statistics about tele- communications surveillance. To build on Patricia Bellia's scholarship, we can think of each telecommunications surveillance statute as hav- ing its own "information structure."' Each of these laws comes with institutional mechanisms that generate information about use of the respective statute.2 Ideally, the information structure would generate data sets that would allow the three questions posed above to be an- swered. Light might also be shed on other basic issues, such as whether or not the amount of telecommunications surveillance was increasing or decreasing. Such rational inquiry about telecommunications surveillance is, however, largely precluded by the haphazard and incomplete informa- tion that the government collects about it. In Heart of Darkness,3 Jo- seph Conrad has his narrator muse on the "blank spaces" on the globe. Marlowe says: Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps.... At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw t Professor of Law, UC Berkeley School of Law, Director, Berkeley Center for Law and Technology.
