Position Paper 2:
Defending Our Rights: Protecting Against the Use of ICTs
by Law Enforcement
Sometimes information and communications technologies (ICTs) provide new and promising ways for law enforcement to work advantageously to solve a crime, locate a suspect and gather evidence. However, some of the actions of law enforcement have violated certain constitutional rights of individuals such as protections against illegal searches and seizures and privacy. While we may champion the noble work of law enforcement, officers of the law more than any person, must abide by the law and not infringe on the rights of individuals by circumventing accepted procedures.
Below are three (3) articles discussing real incidences when law enforcement used ICTs creatively to enact justice. Regardless of the real outcome, you are required to argue in defense of the rights of the individual or against the position of law enforcement in their use of a specific ICT. Everyone is entitled to a trial and a defense which is due process under the Fifth Amendment. Remember, the accused is presumed innocent before being found guilty. For this position paper, you are required to select from one of the choices presented to prepare a written defense statement.

(approx. 2 pages).
