Re: First Admendment Right
said by TransitMan  :I have the right of free speech. Guaranteed by the FIRST ADMENDMENT of the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES. And how does wiretapping do anything to your free speech rights?
said by TransitMan :Verizon, AT&T and whomever else participated in this mockery of "MY" rights being violated need to be hauled before the courts for violation of said rights. You have no privacy rights to not be listened in to. You only have the right NOT to have that used against you in court. Businesses listen in all the time to phone calls. So what rights of yours was violated.

1 edit | They have a right to LISTEN to you conversation? Where do you get THAT from? Any time I call support, they ALWAYS say 'this call may be monitored, blah blah'. If I make a phone call, I have the EXPECTATION of privacy. AND, in most areas, you cannot RECORD a phone call unless both parties are aware.
The telco's flaunted the bill of rights, and should pay the price. If the price is they go bankrupt, then so be it. BUSINESS is NOT ABOVE THE LAW. If they WANT to be a 'person' under law, then they are subject to the same laws we are.

If you do not give consent, you merely hang up.

How different would we speak with each other if we thought for a second that we were being listend to, Court or No Court? |

For the last 20years I have always assumed I was being listened to on the phone and now on the internet. Before I retired I was head of telecomm at a major corporation. And believe me, there has been no such a thing as private conversations(except on scrambled phones) for a very long time.

That is true but there is a world of difference between a craftsperson listening to a call (officially for maintenance purposes) and a Telco or ISP making customer information available to law enforcement without a warrant.

It explains a LOT about your positions. It must be a very sad world you live in. A world filled with fear and loathing. A world where there are bad guys everywhere. A world where you EXPECT to be monitored. I thought we had gotten past that when we defeated the nazi's, but apparently you are still living in the 1940's, where the citizens are AFRAID of their government.
That's wrong on so many levels. It explains why you post what you do, because you see a 'terrist' behind every door, and you want the gestapho to protect you from the bad me.
I live in a world where I expect, no DEMAND privacy from spying eyes. I live in a world where I expect the government to FEAR ME. I have a gun. I carry a gun every day, and it gives you a feeling of power. It's not a 'good' feeling to take home when I get back, but where I am, it's necessary to survive. I DO NOT want to go back to a country where I fear the government. They trained me how to kill, and if I get back to that country, where I fear the government, I fully expect to use that training to overthrow our facist government, and replace it with the FUNDAMENTAL rights we were guaranteed by that 'worthless piece of paper' as our delusional commander in chief calls it.

Well, you have bigger problems than someone listening in on your phone. When you get back, the FBI may be doing more than listening in. Keep an eye out for the people following you around after your stated plans to overthrow the government are read. I am sure some FBI or NSA computer has already digested your statements.

There is finally one person that gets it. There is no inherent right to privacy guaranteed by the constitution. I'm surprised it took half a page for someone to bring this point up. |

There is no inherent right to privacy guaranteed by the constitution. Very true- although the government would generally have to violate a whole lot of other rights in order to violate your privacy. Taken as a whole, the bill of rights and all the follow-on laws pretty much ensure privacy, even if there's no explicit right.
The problem is with the telcos who, as I understand it, had no legal requirements to give up their customers phone records. I just haven't seen anyone who can point to an actual law they've broken... |
