Social Media And The Law Enforcement

The rapid growth of the internet has made it easier to commit traditional crimes by providing criminals an alternate method for launching attacks with relative anonymity. Effects of such technology has been great but , with the

Security and privacy concerns present challenges for law enforcement combating deep web criminal activity. Crimes committed on or with the Internet are relatively new. Those crimes include illicit trade in drugs, weapons, wildlife, stolen goods, or people; illegal gambling; sex trafficking; child pornography; terrorism and anarchy; corporate and sovereign espionage; and financial crimes. Police agencies have been fighting an uphill battle always one step behind an ever evolving digital landscape and the criminals who exploit it. The novelty of the Internet begets jurisdictional and legal issues law enforcement must address while remaining ethical and holding to the code of law. Due to the anonymous nature of deep web criminal activity and the means for uncovering perpetrators, privacy concerns of citizens legally using the same software or websites are now a hot topic.

This article relates to this class about social media, an arrest warrant and different types of crime. First, the social media including Snapchat are widely used by the law enforcement and it is becoming the wave of the future in law enforcement. Secondly, the arrest warrant is useful for law enforcements to rightfully capture Dolan without her committing offense in the amusement park. Thirdly, her offenses she has made are harms that could severely injured them and it is not a trivial matter that could go away. I think the matter now that Dolan is arrested, the judge should enforce a puishmemt that can help stabilize her action and not a risk to cilivians

The need for ensuring the security of nations and enterprises on the one hand and the need for protecting the privacy of individuals on the other, are creating a myriad of conflicts regarding ethics, laws and personal rights. Never before in the history of modern society has there been such a strong emphasis on capturing, analyzing, categorizing and using personal data that had been highly protected in the past for purposes of securing nations (Ottensmeyer, Heroux, 1991). Correspondingly, there has never been a time when every aspect of life in an organization is monitored, from personal computer and telephone use to the use of personal Wi-Fi and networking devices (Riedy, Wen, 2010). The first section of this analysis is to analyze three technologies that allow individuals to research other citizens' data and also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches to public access of information. The strategies or steps that citizens can do to protect their confidential information is also discussed as is the Federal law that enables the U.S. Government to gain legal right to make private information public. This specific law is called the Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act and is primarily used for providing greater information sharing within and between government agencies in fighting terrorism, piracy and major crimes (Riedy, Wen, 2010).

Search Google, looking for information about Facebook acting unethical in a non-US location. Look at 3 different links, give them here. What potential issues do you learn from these links? List them.

Therefore, an analysis of the terror organizations use of social media platforms to recruit future members will enhance the Intelligence Community (IC) in formulating effective methods to curb the recruitment of American nationals into terror cells.

The internet is serving as virtual meeting for billions of users. The intelligence-gathering is leveraging the internet using hard data for online links. The social networking sites are the main complementary link to any information. The social networking sites provide the most important information for communication with anyone and joining different groups. It can identify terror-threats and incipient plots. The internet can provide quantum and quality of information by any member of the group. The internet penetration of

1. It technically is a violation of the 1st amendment, but it isn’t necessarily unacceptable. Colleges such as Kentucky do this on their own merit because they want their college to be as secure as possible. When it comes to colleges actually monitoring social media accounts of their students, it all depends on what the student is saying. Not everything they say can be used against them. For example, “One student posted on March 26: "I have some OxyContin. It will make you feel good. (hash) drugs," records show. Another student was flagged for writing, "God is the only one who can heal me, help me & fight for me" — because of the word "fight." The first student got what he deserved because talking about drugs on social media is the most idiotic thing an individual can do regardless if you’re not being monitored by your college. Of course, the second student was falsely accused of saying something inappropriate. It was a very personal statement from him to god and the fact that he was flagged for it is just completely disgraceful. Just because he said the word “fight” doesn’t mean that he was going to fight or even intend on fighting someone. If anything, it was self-preservation.

When people threaten violence or harm to the community, the authorities should be able to interfere. With the rise of the internet, terrorist groups have attempted to recruit members and intimidate others, and this poses a real threat to the safety of the public. If the government monitors the internet, it should be for the sole purpose of preventing violence or crimes from being committed. They should leave people’s personal business alone and prioritize privacy. If they can sense that someone’s life is in danger and can use information to hunt down a criminal, it would serve the greater good. In this way, the government should use its power and influence to protect and serve its citizens. Any action that may invade any sort of privacy must be revolving around legal issues or public

There are many countries where terrorist activities are simply a part of life and where criminal activities are commonplace. Even in well-developed countries there can be problems. One of the most insidious of these activities, however, is cybercrime. It may seem less dangerous because it is not physically damaging to the person who is being targeted, but gaining access toa person's private information can cause serious damage to that person's good name and reputation, along with his or her credit, ability to obtain employment, and other parts of life. Something has to be done, but by the time issues are corrected there are new issues appearing. It can feel like a losing battle. Because of constant technological change, new challenges are arising regarding information access and privacy.

In today’s tech driven world technology is incorporated in our daily lives. From personal entertainment to business work, technology benefits everyone to fit their needs. Technology is rapidly taking over normal day to day functions, criminal justice agencies use to combat crime. In order to stay ahead of savvy criminals, police departments must utilize the most modern and updated systems to keep their communities safe and secure. As we move forward so will technology, and with constant evolution of technology the way we as a people, criminals and police department will change as well. It presents new benefits along with greater danger to our safety, private information and way of life.

The growth and evolution of social media have influenced our social and business dynamics. We share more content than ever before in a bid to stay connected, we are less mindful of strangers and we sometimes feel invincible online. However, the level of connectivity offered by social media is quickly growing into our undoing. We are now more vulnerable than ever and this is a risk we cannot afford to take in this day and age when everyone with the know-how can hack into our accounts for their selfish benefits. With the increase in cybersecurity threats, and in this case, social media threats, it is important that we plug the holes and find ways to guarantee our safety online.

Social Networking Sites (SNSs) are relatively new phenomena quickly and becoming a dominant part of our lives. In fact as of September 2014, Facebook alone boasted 864 million daily active users, if that metric is changed to monthly active users, it becomes 1.35 billion (Facebook, 2014. This is clearly not a passing trend that is used only by a small subset of individuals; it is a ubiquitous part of the daily lives of most citizens. In this paper I explore the usage of and behavior of the overall public and gang members in particular on SNSs and argue that, when used ethically and appropriately, law enforcement and the communities they serve can benefit greatly from this technology.

The Internet is the technological genius of the computer age. Although the Internet is a phenomenal tool, providing access to the world, it has also become a Shangri-La for criminals. The Internet because of the ability to remain anonymous is the perfect playground for this type of mayhem. This

Abstract – Technology has affected all aspects of everyday life and has changed vastly over time. This can even be said with law enforcement. Technology can be used to intercept phone calls, protect officers, and provide surveillance to help find criminals. This can be a good thing, to an extent. But when will all this security and protection of privacy become too much, where instead of protecting innocent people, their lives and rights are violated. This paper will talk about the history in technology in law enforcement, examples of technology that are seen as high privacy risks, how it may affect people’s privacy and security rights, and when that may become too much.
