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.
