• Reminder: Cops Can Point a Camera at Your House 24/7 Without a Warrant

  The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear a case involving an Army veteran, Bruce Hay, who challenged the installation of a hidden camera by federal investigators that monitored his property for 68 days without a warrant. This decision disappointed civil liberties advocates seeking stronger protections against prolonged surveillance, particularly as cities increasingly rely on real-time crime centers. While some state supreme courts deem such surveillance a violation of Fourth Amendment rights, federal courts have ruled otherwise. The Supreme Court's refusal to address these cases raises concerns about the lack of consistent legal protections and the potential for invasive policing technologies. Legal experts argue that the current surveillance practices significantly outpace what traditional law enforcement could achieve, building extensive profiles on individuals without their consent.

• Clipper chip

  The Clipper chip was a chipset that was developed and promoted by the United States National Security Agency[1] (NSA) as an encryption device that secured "voice and data messages"[2] with a built-in backdoor that was intended to "allow Federal, State, and local law enforcement officials the ability to decode intercepted voice and data transmissions."[2] It was intended to be adopted by telecommunications companies for voice transmission.

• Backdoor (computing)

  A backdoor is a typically covert method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer, product, embedded device (e.g. a home router), or its embodiment (e.g. part of a cryptosystem, algorithm, chipset, or even a "homunculus computer"—a tiny computer-within-a-computer such as that found in Intel's AMT technology).[1][2] Backdoors are most often used for securing remote access to a computer, or obtaining access to plaintext in cryptosystems. From there it may be used to gain access to privileged information like passwords, corrupt or delete data on hard drives, or transfer information within autoschediastic networks.
