It Can Even Hack People The FBI Knows To Be Innocent.
The Supreme Court Just Gave the FBI the Power to Hack Innocent People by William Turton for GIZMODO
This story is important to us all because it is another way theGovernmentis slowly taking away ourPrivacy Rights."A proposed change to the ‘Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure’ issued yesterday by the United States Supreme Court allows federal judges to grant the FBI permission to hack multiple computers at once, including machines belonging to people who haven’t been suspected of a crime. It can even hack people the FBI knows to be innocent."
Why should you care?Since you say you never do anything illegal."The new rule would allow the FBI to infect innocent people’s computer with malware in order to investigate cyber-crime—even if their only connection to the crime is that they’re the victims. What could go wrong? Even better, there’s a legitimate fear that the judges who end up authorizing these hacking warrants don’t even fully grasp what they’re authorizing." Oh,great.That means my computer will have aGovernment Sanctioned Malwareinside it.Do you think that you'll get an email one day after the investigation is over saying,this is how to remove our malware?“I think a significant concern is within that rule there is no requirement that the FBI disclose to a judge exactly what hacking technique they’re using, what the unintended consequences are, what the implications are,” Guliani said. “So you may have a situation where a judge is authorizing something without fully understanding what the questions are. And this has come up in other technologies like stingrays where judges say, well, I didn’t really know what I was authorizing. This rule has six months to be changed or outright banned by Congress before it automatically goes into law. Senator Ron Wyden is already trying to ring alarm bells about these new powers, saying “These amendments will have significant consequences for Americans’ privacy and the scope of the government’s powers to conduct remote surveillance and searches of electronic devices.”
Well,with this newSupreme Courtruling,that makes everything legal,right?"There’s another problem with mass FBI hacking. It’s unclear that evidence gathered via malware-laden hacking tools will actually end up being admissible in court. In addition, these warrants are sketchy when it comes to fulfilling some basic requirements of the fourth amendment, which bans unreasonable search and seizure."So,You are telling me,the evidence might not be submittable because of that protector of us all,The Fourth Amendment?God Bless America. This is,Wondering If We Will Lose All Our Rights Someday,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“The Fourth Amendment wasn't written for people with nothing to hide any more than the First Amendment was written for people with nothing to say.” - Dave Krueger -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
