Beskrivning

The Fourth Amendment is facing a crisis. New and emerging surveillance technologies allow government agents to track us wherever we go, to monitor our activities online and offline, and to gather massive amounts of information relating to our financial transactions, communications, and social contacts. In addition, traditional police methods like stop-and-frisk have grown out of control, subjecting hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens to routine searches and seizures. In this work, David Gray uncovers the original meaning of the Fourth Amendment to reveal how its historical guarantees of collective security against threats of 'unreasonable searches and seizures' can provide concrete solutions to the current crisis. This important work should be read by anyone concerned with the ongoing viability of one of the most important constitutional rights in an age of increasing government surveillance.

Recensioner i media

'An exciting and incredibly well-written investigation about the loss of privacy in America and the real dangers imposed by a surveillance state. This book is an eye-opener about where we are and where we might be going. The book is thoroughly researched and full of cogent and interesting argument. And most importantly it provides a path for greater protection of privacy that makes it a must-read.' Daniel J. Capra, Reed Professor of Law, Fordham Law School, New York
