Law Homework Help

Discussion Board #7: This week you will learn a little about one of the newer types of crimes that law enforcement has been attempting to deal with-Computer Crime. Computer crime is moving at a rate that Law enforcement can barely keep up with it-from the investigative processes, to the creation and modification of laws to criminalize behavior associated with computer use. But in many cases, questions arise as to the legality of law enforcement accessing computer or online activity of suspicious persons. Much like the wire taps of phones done in the “old days” computer access and “spying” on database information has required legal recognition and permission. But to what end? Where should the line be drawn? Since the world has become much smaller with the creation of the world wide web, should we live with the guaranteed right of privacy afforded in the US Constitution, or is it time that we look at the needs of the world with regards to privacy and safety, and modify the Constitution to fit the needs of today? For this discussion, discuss these two points:

1. What priority should law enforcement place on investigations of the various online crimes that occur? (Name the crimes you are discussing and what priority-be sure to think of all levels of crime, including terrorism).
2. How should we look at the legality of Online crime, and modify the Constitution to protect the rights of the citizens, yet keep us safe?
