A collection of expert essays examines the privacy rights that have
been lost in the post-9/11 era-giving students and others the
knowledge they need to take back their constitutional protections.
This timely two-volume collection shares information every citizen
should have, tackling the erosion of privacy rights engendered by
the ability of digital technology to intercept, mine, and store
personal data, most often without the knowledge of those being
monitored. Examining its subject through the lens of Fourth
Amendment rights, the work focuses on technological advances that
now gather personal data on an unprecedented scale, whether by
monitoring social media, tracking cell phones, or using thermal
imaging to watch people's movement. It also examines the possible
impact of the widespread gathering of such data by law enforcement
and security agencies and by private corporations such as Google.
Organized by hot-button topics confronting U.S. citizens in the
post-9/11 era, the work reviews the original intent of the Fourth
Amendment and then traces the development and erosion of
interpretations of that amendment in the 21st century. Topical
essays offer a comprehensive treatment and understanding of current
Fourth Amendment issues, including those that have been brought
before the courts and those relative to the continuing governmental
and societal emphasis on security and public safety since the
Columbine shootings in 1999 and the events of September 11, 2001.
Traces the historical development of the Fourth Amendment through
recent Supreme Court decisions Offers a discussion of current
issues and traces the legislative history related to those issues
Highlights the use of new technologies to limit privacy rights
Combines an awareness of the complexities of the digital age with
scholarly analysis Speaks to the interests of students, scholars,
and the general reader about the challenges facing the Fourth
Amendment in the 21st century
