Police Proactively Investigating Information Via Telecommunication To Prevent Crime.

Law enforcement agencies are proactively trying to investigate and stay up to date with threats, breaches, and various forms of organized crime that are taking place in vast areas of the digital world. As technology becomes more innovative, many nations like the United States and Canada become increasingly fearful of potential threats towards “national security.” Zealous government officials in different aspects of the executive branch of government are advocating for advanced surveillance of user’s activities in e-mails, social media, and other telecommunication services. The world is becoming Orwellian.

While more cyber crime investigations are being implemented and considered by authorities, many people are conflicted with the violation of their privacy rights. There is a heated debate between the legitimacy of police to carry out these investigations to prevent crime, and the excessive invasions of privacy. According to an interview with the Canadian Press, Chief Supt. Jeff Adam, director-general of the RCMP’s technical investigation services, stated that the police were trying to investigate a threat to national security. Their inability to collect substantial evidence from a telecommunications company impeded their progress, so they dismissed the investigation. Despite taking other approaches to continue the investigation under judicial authority, still, there remained no progress in the case. Adam also expressed the hardships of hacking encrypted messages in many police investigations – particularly those pertaining to national security, organized crime, and child exploitation. In reality, law enforcement agencies does not prioritize the privacy rights of citizens, when the urge to conduct redundant investigations by unjustified means to counteract crime is genuinely arbitrary. The cutting edge technology that police have access to is very much to the consternation of citizens, who are entitled to full rights of privacy under their respective Constitutions. Ultimately, police are only specifying inadequate scenarios where the ability to hack and retrieve encrypted data is impossible, but the remarkable quality of innovative technology that is readily available and accessible to law enforcement refutes those specified claims.

In conclusion, it is very important to know your privacy rights. The world around us is forever changing. Privacy serves as an important safeguard that allows one to grow, develop, and create his or her own identity where they can be detached from discernment and scrutiny. The essence of our privacy helps us manage the unbearable obligations and stress that mold us into an identity and disposition that make us unique. The process in which our own abilities and character are gradually developed is safeguarded by a sense of privacy. Privacy is the comfort zone of life and without it, our growth and development would be stifled. It is always important to know your privacy rights. If you have any questions about your situation and are in need of legal advice or representation, contact criminal lawyer Julian van der Walle immediately.
