The 5 W's for That's No Phone. That's My Tracker.

The 5 W's for Long Beach Police...

Public Service Announcement from NSA

This article was directed to any phone owners. The authors are letting people know what phones are really used for. The story in the article talks about how many police agencies don't get a search warrant for when requesting location data from carriers. This happens all the time. They find ways to get around violating amendments. Yet we don't make it hard for them to get information on where we are at. We are a society built up on technology, where we now have GPS and a location setting on phones. All the agencies have to do is look up a serial number and BAM! just like that all your past location are in their hands. Maass and Rajagopalan are giving us information we are to blind to see for ourselves. Information we do not look for.

"Ignorance is Strength" said by George Orwell. Our ignorance to the governments actions is their strength to gain more control over us.

Winton is targeting at the people who care about their rights being violated and taken away from them. This is important to our society because Winton is giving a heads up on what our world might become. If all this taking advantage is not stopped soon, we will soon live in a totalitarian government. This is a warning of what we are headed to. The article explains how police officers want to connect 400 cameras around Long Beach to make it a "safer" environment. The LBPD Chief Jim McDonnell says, "It is designed to make us more efficient in combating crime..." In other words they want less men out in the street and more sitting watching screens waiting for crime to happen.

This shows how "Big Brother" is ALWAYS watching.

The society is always blinded by

the governments proposals of

safety.

This cartoon, like many others, is trying to open the eyes of citizens who are having their rights violating. Reminding you that you have a voice and a right to use it.

Quotations

Long Beach Police to Use 400 Cameras Citywide to Fight Crime

"The program debuts as the city and department face a budget squeeze that could slash the police agency's budget by nearly $9 million."

This quote caught my attention because the LBPD is trying to get a program they can't even afford. Putting in danger valuable money. Yet they do not care because they know their jobs are safe because police officers are 'always needed'.

Personal Response

That's No Phone. That's My Tracker.

Introduction

"Cell companies typically retain your geographic information for a year or longer, according to data gathered by the Justice Department."

This quote broken down means any one who asks for your information can have many of your personal information. Like what you buy, where and when you buy it, how much money you have in the bank, who you are in contact with, where you travel, and even the time you wake up and go to sleep.

So you think that because your profile is on private no one else can see it? You are WRONG. In the article That's No Phone. That's My Tracker Peter, Maass and Megha Rajagopalan will explain how phones are really used in this society. They will go deep into the meaning of a "tracker" and the governments control. In the article Long Beach Police to Use 400 Cameras Citywide to Fight Crime, Richard Winton will explain how the government tries to manipulate its own society to make them believe the thing they do are to protect them and keep them safe, no harm them or violate their rights.

I believe this is important because people deserve the right to have their eyes opened and be exposed to the disrespect given to them by the government they trust in. I learned that no matter how private you think your life is, someone with greater power can always get to your information and go way back to information you thought no longer existed. I feel like no matter how much information is out about how bad the government is controlling people will be blind to it. Giving the government exactly what they want. Total and absolute control.

Richard Wintons article is going into the ways police officers get around our fourth amendment to obtain information they need. They assure you it is not a "Big Brother is watching" situation, yet they are doing the same thing that goes along with the idea of a 'party' in absolute power. Maass and Rajagopalan explain how a phone is no longer used for what it is for. They play around with the idea of changing its name and calling it by what it really is, a tracker. They believe labels are important and "...what you call something influences what you think about it.
