In a recent blog post authored by Eric Webster, "Protect cellphone data from Big Brother!" Webster infroms of two bills lawmakers are currently proposing regaurding cellphone privacy. Webster states that "No one has the right to go through our phones and read our messages without our permission or having probable cause." I completely agree with this stance. My cellphone conversations should not be availble to government officials unless they have obtained a search warrant or have probable cause. Webster goes on to say that " It would be wrong to dismiss...[the] bills by saying that if you're not doing something wrong then you dont have anything to worry about and thefore have nothing to hide from the police."
This is just an attempt of the government to justify continuing recording cellphone conversations. The government continues to overstep their boundaries regarding our personal privacy. I hope these two bills are succesful in establishing privacy laws.
