 * __A Look Into the Eyes of Spies__**


 * __Key questions:__**

Opinion__**
 * __Facts


 * 1)** **Independence** **of Surveillance->**

1) Would video surveillance still exist without satellite? Vise versa?
 * __Facts->__**Video surveillance will still exist without the technology of satellites and satellites will still exist without video surveillance.
 * __Opinion->__**For video surveillance without the technology of satellites, my opinion would be the same as the facts but the use of satellite without video surveillance is false to me.

2) Which factor out of the two (video surveillance and satellites) is dependent on the other?
 * __Facts->__**Neither are dependent on the other more than needed.
 * __Opinion->__**My opinion is entirely different from the facts because I would say that satellites are dependent on video surveillance because without video surveillance there would only be pinpoints on a screen instead of pictures than can be identified if lost or videos for highly "special" reasons like the government trying to get information from foreign soil leaders.


 * 2) Users of this technology->**

1) Who uses this technology?
 * __Facts->__**This source of technology is used by schools, private companies, main companies, stores(convenience stores, shopping stores), the army, the President of the United States, and many other people. There is just too many to name.
 * __Opinion->__**My opinion lyes entirely with the facts.

2) Why do law enforcers use this technology?
 * __Facts->__**Law enforecers use video surveillnace to catch criminals and gather much needed information. An example is if someone robs a bank and the video surveilnace camera is on, the cops can use the surveillnace tape to pin down the robber.
 * __Opinion__**->My opinion lyes with the facts again.

3) What connection does this have with the government?
 * __Facts__->**Many law enforcement jobs are given through the federal government.
 * __Opinion->__**My opinion is that the government basically runs all law enforcement agencies because they are their "sponsors". The government equals politicians and with politicains comes many responsibilities and those responibilities or "cases" can easily be pushed onto shoulders that burden many "cover-ups" for up coming elections,scandals, or other such things.

4) Why would the President of the United States use this technology?
 * __Facts->__**The President is the "commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States" as stated by the Us Constitution.
 * __Opinion->__**My opinion is the President of the United States would use this technology to protect his country and himself. He would use it to protect the US from terrorist and other such kinds of people.


 * 3) Armies use of this technology->**

1) What situation would prompt the army to use this source of technology?
 * __Facts->__**The army would use this technology when given the command from the President.
 * __Opinion__**->My opinion on this matter is the same as the fact.

2) What advantage is video technology to the army?
 * __Facts->__**The army uses this technology for snipers in order to accurately terminate a target.
 * __Opinion__**->In my own opinnon, I would say that the since the Presdient is in charge of the army then he would use them as his minions to get information or trade information with foreign soil to gain ana davantage when go to war, like with Iraq, for example.


 * 4) Views of the society->**

1) Is video surveillance a good source of technology?
 * __Facts->__** When asking this question to various people, this opinion of facts seem to lye on all sides. Some people like and love this technology. They use it to protect their homes and businesse from intruders. On the other hand, some still dislke this technology becauese they feel that invades their privacy and that they are not alone when in the presence of this technology.
 * __Opinions>__** My opinnon on this matter liyes in the midddle because yes I do think that video surveillance invades your privacy but it also helps to catch many crminal robbers when they're on their crime wave.

2) Is video surveillance a bad source of technology?
 * __Facts->__**Same as 1.
 * __Opinions->__**Same as 1.

A video pertains to the reception of television pictures. Surveillnace is a close observation of a person or group, especially one under suspicion. When put together these two words form video surveillnace which is the use if television cameras for surveillance. Video surveillnace was made to be a source of observance in which the observee is supposed to be oblivious to being observed. They zoom and swivel to locate the target stated or given to observe stalkingly.
 * __What is video surveillnace?__**

What is video surveillance? Is it good? Is it bad? Does it help you? Is it invasive? Video surveillance is a source of information technology that many websites and articles when read will have the answer to one or many of these questions. Video surveillance is found to both intrusive and life saving. It's intrusive when it's spying on you without your knowledge. Its life saving when it helps you to evade criminals who are after you and you can spot them on a surveillance camera so you can catch them before they catch you.

Some organizations take a side and say that it is either good or bad and can not be both. Other agencies like NASA, with the article called "NASA Helps Cops Catch Criminals on Earth with Video Technology Invented by Space Scientists", will say that this technology is very helpful to all. These companies will say that it helps to protect buildings from intruders, your home from intruders, you from harm like if you are in an alley or parking lot and someone is wishing to harm you. The government uses this technology to watch out for felons and criminals. The satellite uses this technology to not only show pinpoints on a map but pictures, videos, and scenes of the location being looked for. The negative side to this technology will say that this technology is intrusive. Companies like the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) with the article called "What's Wrong With Public Video Surveillance?” will say that it invades your privacy when stepping outside your house or walking on the street. Some people say that this technology is unlawful because it can invade your privacy without you knowing about it. When looking at this situation from a far with the known facts just stated I would say that this technology can be both helpful and harmful to all in whatever situation.


 * (Include amendment for video surveillance)paragraph

(fourth amendment)->** [|http://www.lectlaw.com/def/f081.htm] -> http://www.flexyourrights.org/fourth_amendment_history ->[|http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/05/16/bush_stomps_on_fourth_amendment/[[http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/funddocs/billeng.htm%29]|]]

The fourth amnedment speaks about "the peoles rights to be secure of thier persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated". This identifies to video surveillance beacsue when peole who that they don't like video surveillance it is invasive to their privacy, tey are basically restating this amnendement. They do not feel secure and well protected when surrounded by surveillance everywhere they turn. Sometimes they just want to be aone, only with hte eyes of themselves.It as if being stalked 24/7.

The forth amendemnet also states that it protects you aginst "unreasonable searches and seizures". This was said to have been adopted as a protection against the widespread invasions of privacy experienced by American colonists at the hands of the British Government. It's ironic how this amnedment was built to keep the British fro surveiling use when in turn we're surveilling ourselves and our own. It is true when stating that the fourth amnedment has lost a major role in the Bill of Rights because if it did play a major role then **a lot** of the things happening today had a less likely chance of occuring.

It's bad enoug that the peole of this nation are stomping on the laws thta were provided for them to abide by. Now comes our one an only President Bush to stomp on our nations foruth amndment. Sine the 9/11 trajedy President Bush and his follweres have invaded the privacy of thousands do to caustion and paranoia. Presiedent Bush has bypassed this whole situation by saying thta this is a matter of "national security". This bit of information came from an article written by Laurence H. Tribe from the online Boston Globe News.

 * (ninth amendment)->**[|http://www.answers.com/topic/amendment-ix-to-the-u-s-constitution]

Another amendment that relates to the use of video surveillance is the ninth amendment. It basically says that the numbering of the Constitution will not be lowered in standard by the people. This relates to video surveillance because what the people see is not only taken into account of what a person is charged for if arrested for something with a n eyewitness because the eyewitness doesn't have to be a person and is not categorized by the person's place in society. The proof can not be judged because it is not a person but a thing. A tape of video surveillance that could have been taken out from anywhere. It could from the video surveillance cameras from the convenience store across the street or the restaurant right next door. The evidence can still be eliminated but not as easily as a person who can be forgotten. The evidence is now a video surveillance tape that can be copied over and over and over again. It can have thousands to millions copies because copies are unlimited when trying your hardest to make them with the right sources.


 * (The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA))**

In a letter written to Chairman Patrick Leahy and Senator Arlen Specter by Attorney General, Alberto R. Gonzales it is stated that on January 10, 2007 a Judge of The FRoreign Intellignece Surveillance Act Court authorizes the goverment to get information from foreign sointries. As aresult to this infrormation gathering, there will be a seize to all surveillanece transpiring between the two froeign soils. This idea was brouht about in 2005 but had just now found approval witin the FISA Court. In this letter it is said that the Prsident has the authority to use the FISA to his best advantage to protect our antion. Even though he has curently decided not to use this system too much, it is still his option when neede to use it if deemed necessary.

 * (civil rights)->**http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_rights

A civil right is an "enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury". A civil rights law that refers to video surveillance is the right to equality in public places. This rigth is violated by video surveillance because when stepping out into the public, you are instantly in the eyes of up at least two surveillnace devices and as you walk, it is the farther that you walk into views of surveillance devices. These rights can also be violated when uses video surveillance camras to observe one specifc tyoe of person with a specific typr of race, religion, age, or any other such differnce of discrimination.

 * ->**http://www.notbored.org/england-history.html

Video surveilance cameras began their inventions as 1965. There were rumors in the US that suggested that the police were using surveillance cameras in public places. These rumors when confirmed in 1969 when police cameras were installed in the New York City Municipal Building near City Hall. From there came its sprouting. It spread into mant cities because of its fast and active "protectivness".

When thinkign on video surveillnace you think of watching people on a television that are standing outside your house but video surveillnace is bigger than that. Video surveillance is CCTV which satnds for Closed Circuit Television. CCTV is one of the worls most active source of technology. It has especially increased in activity since the Sept. 11 tragedy. CCTV is mostly found in Europe now a days and Engand is starting to catch on. It is said that the average Lomdoner is said to have had their picture taken about three hundred times in one day.
 * (video surveillnace in general)->** http://www.epic.org/privacy/surveillance/

When wlaking down one block block you would averagely see about five video surveillnace cameras on this one block. Even though this technology seems to be **so** popular, it seems to show less effects than stated in rcords. It is saud that even thouggh law enforcers boost about the downfall in crime waves since this technology, it doesn't seem to show in numbers. It only seems incraes profit for the manufacturers of this technology beacuse peoples sense of security seem be taking serious downfalls. People are beginnig to not feel safe in their own homes and communities.

To anyone looking for advice for researching the pros and cons of technology, I would advice that the best website to go to is SIRS. This website helps you to get a further view of your topic. When looking for information on this topic I would say that you don't have to rely on the the date given because the information given is usually the same as from two years ago.
