Formerly, he served a 30-year career with the United States government as a member of the Senior Intelligence Service, including positions such a chief privacy officer for the CIA. Although the debate is limited in law, one fact is clear: the issue of civil liberties is of concern to average Americans, especially when their attention is focused on the issue, as well as to a substantial number of members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. Hundreds of local jurisdictions have voted to oppose the Act (politically symbolic acts largely without legal effect), bills in Congress to restrict specific Patriot Act provisions in the past have failed just by a tie vote, and the public, according to opinion polls, believes the FBI is intruding on their privacy.

The Sun Also Sets: Understanding the Patriot Act “Sunsets” The Patriot Act contains more than 150 separate sections in 10 major titles. About a tenth of the law expires or "sunsets" this year unless Congress votes to reauthorize it. The sections discussed and listed below are the most significant provisions that Congress must examine as it deliberates again on the Patriot Act. Even though all of the sections listed below raise civil liberties concerns, the Patriot Act contained a handful of truly radical expansions of criminal and intelligence search and surveillance authority, only some of which sunset. These changes represent the most dangerous sections of the law. These provisions also embody the ACLU's broader concern post-9/11 that the White House has demanded and received an unwarranted amount of power, which weakens the checks and balances that maintain our system of limited government and preserve our constitutional liberties. Congress should use the debate over the sunsets to highlight these provisions in particular, but should also take the opportunity to deliberate more broadly on the state of our freedoms in the "war on terrorism."

As always, comments from VC readers are welcome. I am particularly interested in comments from any computer geeks out there who might be able to point to errors or omissions in my technical discussions. Here is the Essay's introduction, which should give you a flavor of the piece: This essay shows how existing rules of criminal procedure are poorly equipped to regulate the collection of digital evidence. It predicts that new rules of criminal procedure will evolve to regulate digital evidence investigations, and offers preliminary thoughts on what those rules should look like and what institutions should generate them. This Essay explores the dynamics of computer crime investigations and the new methods of collecting electronic evidence. It contends that the new dynamics demonstrate the need for procedural doctrines designed specifically to regulate digital evidence collection. The rules should impose some new restrictions on police conduct and repeal other limits with an eye to the new social and technological practices that are common to how we use and misuse computers. Further, the Essay suggests that we should look beyond the judiciary and the Fourth Amendment for the source of these new rules. While some changes can and likely will come from the courts, many more can come from legislatures and executive agencies that can offer new and creative approaches not tied directly to our constitutional traditions.

I assume the main source is this ACLU press release , which begins: In ACLU Case, Federal Court Strikes Down Patriot Act Surveillance Power As Unconstitutional FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK - Saying that "democracy abhors undue secrecy," a federal court today struck down an entire Patriot Act provision that gives the government unchecked authority to issue "National Security Letters" to obtain sensitive customer records from Internet Service Providers and other businesses without judicial oversight. The court also found a broad gag provision in the law to be an "unconstitutional prior restraint" on free speech. "This is a landmark victory against the Ashcroft Justice Department's misguided attempt to intrude into the lives of innocent Americans in the name of national security," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. "Even now, some in Congress are trying to pass additional intrusive law enforcement powers. This decision should put a halt to those efforts." The American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Civil Liberties Union, which brought a challenge to the law earlier this year, hailed the ruling as a signal blow to the current administration's efforts to expand government surveillance powers in violation of the Constitution.

September 20, 2005 EFF Analysis Of The Provisions Of The USA PATRIOT Act That Relate To Online Activities (October 31, 2001) Last updated October 27, 2003 Introduction On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act (PATRIOT) into law. PATRIOT gave sweeping new powers to both domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies and eliminated the checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity to ensure that such powers were not abused. Most of these checks and balances were put into place after previous misuse of surveillance powers by these agencies were uncovered including the revelation in 1974 that the FBI and foreign intelligence agencies had spied on over 10,000 U.S. citizens, including Martin Luther King. A Rush Job The bill is 342 pages long and makes changes, some large and some small, to over 15 different statutes. This document provides explanation and some analysis to the sections of the bill relating to online activities and surveillance. Other sections, including those devoted to money laundering, immigration and providing for the victims of terrorism, are not discussed here. Yet even just considering the surveillance and online provisions of PATRIOT, it is a large and complex law that had over four different names and several versions in the five weeks between the introduction of its first predecessor and its final passage into law. While containing some sections that seem appropriate providing for victims of the September 11 attacks, increasing translation facilities and increasing forensic cybercrime capabilities it seems clear that the vast majority of the sections included were not carefully studied by Congress, nor was sufficient time taken to debate it or to hear testimony from experts outside of law enforcement in the fields where it makes major changes. This concern is amplified because several of the key procedural processes applicable to any other proposed laws, including inter-agency review, the normal committee and hearing processes and thorough voting, were suspended for this bill.

76. Electronic Evidence Gathering techniques designed to find relevant electronic evidence on personal computers.This investigative discipline will become an important discovery tool http://www.nz-lawsoc.org.nz/lawtalk/564wolfe.htm

Gathering electronic evidence A NEW field of evidence gathering involves techniques designed to find relevant electronic evidence on personal computers. This investigative discipline will become an important discovery tool for both lawyers and law enforcement agencies. Here Dr Henry B Wolfe* explains the basics of what it can and cannot do. Computer forensics refers to the developing field that captures and analyses information stored on personal computers. Relevant information is prepared in a format that will be easily used and understood in a court of law. The methods used can be demonstrated to be sound. Information found in this way can be used either to convict or to exonerate depending on each case. Some of these investigative techniques are legal, some require a warrant to execute legally and some are completely illegal. Nevertheless, they are all used to one degree or another in the pursuit of evidence to prove guilt or innocence. Electronic forensics is based on some technical facts that most personal computer users are not aware of. A good deal of information, whether deleted or not, may reside on a target PC without the knowledge of its user. Data resides in many places on a hard drive. Everyone knows that there are files and directories and system files. What most users do not realise is that there is a great deal of left over data stored on their disk drives. This data may be in the form of deleted files (which are not normally overwritten when deleted) or fragments of files not overwritten by new data when it is written to disk. All this data can be retrieved with the proper tools and can be analysed for content and relevance to a specific case.

Computer Evidence Processing The Third Step Preserve the Electronic Crime Scene by Michael R. Anderson Another concern of the computer investigator, is the running of any programs on the subject computer. Criminals can easily modify the operating system to destroy evidence when standard operating systems commands are executed. In the training courses that I teach, I have the students modify the operating system such that the execution of the DIR command destroys simulated evidence. Standard program names and familiar Windows program icons can also be altered and tied to destructive processes by a crafty high tech criminal. Even trusted word processing programs like Microsoft Word and WordPerfect can become the enemy of the cyber cop. It works this way..... When word processing files are opened and viewed, temporary files are created by the word processing program. These files overwrite the temporary files that existed previously and potential evidence stored in those files can be lost forever. I hope I am starting to make my point. Computer evidence processing is risky business and is fraught with potential problems. Of course, any loss of crucial evidence or exculpatory material falls on the shoulders of the computer investigator. What will your answer be, if the defense attorney claims the data you destroyed proved the innocense of his client? You better have a good answer. Many inherent problems associated with computer evidence processing vanish when tried and proven processing procedures are followed. My objective in writing this article is to keep Murphy's law from ruining your case. When it comes to computer evidence processing, Murphy is always looking over your shoulder. He stands ready to strike at just the wrong moment.

The Criminal Intelligence Section’s mission is to collect, evaluate and disseminate intelligence data on organized criminal and terrorist groups, both traditional and non-traditional, that are active within Delaware and the surrounding states. With the assistance of federal, state and local agencies, the Criminal Intelligence Section has continued to monitor the activities of known Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, Hate Groups, “Left Wing” and “Right Wing” Extremists Groups, Anti-Government Groups, Special Interest Groups, Domestic and International Terrorists Organizations. By the nature of this type of work, much of this section’s activity is confidential, and for dissemination to law enforcement only. The Criminal Intelligence Section breaks down into 4 units... Analytical Unit Intelligence Investigators / Counter-Terrorism Unit Electronic Surveillance Unit High Technology Crimes Unit Analytical Unit In April 2003, the Criminal Intelligence Section was expanded with the addition of an analytical unit. These troopers were added to support the “Counter-Terrorism Unit” with analytical products, maintaining multiple databases, and searches of these databases. This unit is currently comprised of two troopers who are tasked with a multitude of responsibilities. One of these responsibilities was the formation of a weekly intelligence bulletin, disseminated to the field. The purpose of this bulletin was to coordinate the exchange of interstate and intrastate intelligence information pertaining to domestic and international terrorism These bulletins are intended to educate and inform our troopers on tactics and weapons used intrastate, regionally, and nationally by criminals and arrestees, for the safety of our troopers.

The increasing popularity of the Internet has challenged legislators and law enforcement officials trying to prevent its use to facilitate drug crimes. Besides having to develop new investigative methods to adapt to computer technology, law enforcement agents must ensure that any new methods are constitutional and comply with federal statutes. Legislators trying to make certain that federal statutes effectively address the misuse of the new medium must do so without overreaching and violating individual rights.
