THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS DEAD....REST IN PEACE, LADY LIBERTY

WE DIDN'T LOVE YOU ENOUGH. WE LET OUR PEOPLE BECOME IGNORANT OF THE GREAT FREEDOMS OF OUR CONSTITUTION TO THE POINT THAT THIS VERY PIECE OF FREE SPEECH, WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE MONITORED BY "THE AUTHORITIES" FOR FURTHER REVIEW.

MAY OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN FORGIVE US.

"The Fourth Amendment states: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

What is it about "shall not be violated" that seems so hard fer Congress to grasp?!

Great post, SWL...MUD

More from the Nanny State.

It's like quicksand.

Thanks for posting this.

Excellent article. Thank you for posting it.

One of the other issues in this is how a law can be constitutional if the legislative branch did not understand what it contained . I would like to see an appeal based on this alone. Somehow we have to stop this "fast track" "back room comitee" process. Too much legislation, especially spending bills, get voted on without being read.

There's going to real trouble coming from this so-called Patriot Act.

Many people will not lay down and take it.

When agents sneak into homes and are shot by home owners it will only add fuel to the fire for gun control legislation.

I see a bad moon rising.

anyone who supports this act is no patriot.

This bill would not have stopped 911.

Anybody who thinks they need these kinds of laws and what not passed to feel safe do not deserve the liberty they have, for they are slowly but surely giving it up, like good little sheeple.

Under the USA PATRIOT Act in this country, Section 802 defines domestic terrorism as engaging in "activity that involves acts dangerous to human life that violate the laws of the United States or any state and appear to be intended: (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping."

What is it that you all do that involves acts dangerous to human life that violates the laws of the United States?

Program Objective:

The Effective Affordable Reusable Speech-To-Text (EARS) program is developing speech-to-text (automatic transcription) technology whose output is substantially richer and much more accurate than currently possible. This will make it possible for machines to do a much better job of detecting, extracting , summarizing, and translating important information. It will also enable humans to understand what was said by reading transcripts instead of listening to audio signals.

Program Strategy:

EARS is focusing on natural, unconstrained human-human speech from broadcasts and telephone conversations in multiple languages. The intent is to create core enabling technology suitable for a wide range of advanced applications.

EARS encompasses wide-ranging, multidisciplinary research; quantitative evaluations of algorithm accuracy and utility; and efficient technology demonstration prototypes. Outside groups are invited to participate in the annual Rich Transcription evaluations run by NIST.

NOW MY QUESTION IS: How would a Warrent even be issued?
