July 28th, 2008 Filed Under Privacy Concerns
Something to consider is how much of our privacy we willfully hand over in the name of consumerism. It is a strange fact that becomes part of my business, as we subpoena records from phone and internet companies. It is also what we see when the Prosecutor hands over a persons private data, mined from phone calls and other sources. I think every criminal defense attorney cringes when we hear the phrase, “if your not guilty, you have nothing to be afraid of.” It is a phrase that was thrown around quite a bit, in Germany, in the 1940’s. This topic is relevant to us as attorneys because we seem to be doing this in lock step with our other civil liberties, in the name of security.

The American Civil Liberties Union looks into the not to distant future with this funny and scary video.
“We may not live in a society where government and private corporations collude to track your every move — not yet anyways. But, we are fast approaching a surveillance society where every move, transaction and communication is recorded, compiled, and stored away to be examined and used by the authorities — and even private corporations –whenever they want.”
If the video makes you smile but also makes you wonder, go visit the take action page.
