sensitive issues issues issues issues tossed in a little bit about the other
store in west texas that the media could not focus on or couldn't seem to focus
on for the most part of a week ago they were all focused on boston will is an
issue related to the bottom of the media have decided that was really nice to
talk to manage the issue of
civil liberty
by nail many of you have probably seen that uh... frightening video a police
going door-to-door in watertown massachusetts when they were looking for
a one of the remaining stuff tax
and they're a little each screaming at the popular one
draft of the nines and you know black armor worker gun pointed at work
screaming at people inside these home to get out of there have to get that blank
and other health but are arms up
there was no of course you know there was no
well that won't work civil liberties are violated or not i think you should
discussion in here too
to join our discussion as an expert on this matter glenn greenwald is a
columnist on civil liberties
and u_s_ national security issues for the guardian he is a former
constitutional lawyer he was until a year ago a contributing writer at salon
is also the author of how would in patriot act
the particular bush administration views of executive power glenn greenwald
thanksgiving for the program today
reputed
sublime what did you make of the other please going door-to-door without
warrants essentially yes screaming at people pointing their guns that that all
kinds of folks in the town of watertown massachusetts a week ago without
justified
well it certainly extraordinary behavior
you could imagine i suppose some hypothetical where it could be justified
that there is a truly exit central proposal major american city
when you had indicated was by all accounts that everyone really single
nineteen-year-old
you will and recommended a pretty horrendous crime on and with on the
loose and so to engage in that level of behavior they were going to help that
helped forcing people out of their own searching her house with their for it
the oversight committee quart of any kind people were grateful for this uh...
that i think it's pretty disturbing because it underscores how extreme uh...
police power can go when you've got people into or not but the fear
and when we have the you mention the people supporting us when we have people
on the scene essentially encouraging away since then by all means go
house-to-house i suppose because people frightened we'll lose something right
because then if somebody to settle in the second what about the fourth
amendment right against
unreasonable search and future what about you know having some sort of war
aunt are some sort of judicial supervision back to that the window
although i think you know that the back of the debate that founder of the
country how to be resolved it pretty clearly in favor of privacy and
and and again that sort of hyper security fixation indian the competition
bart the policeman turn people told them what they have a search warrant where
they proved probable cause to believe the card has been committed it would be
much better
much easier to catch a very violent dangerous criminals are rapists or
murderers who are believed to be just allowed the police to enter our homes
that well to read all of our email to read outlook you know whatever alcohol
they want the founder of a long time ago decided that we are willing to give up
some measure of security in order to have a basically creatures body bob to
wanting typing the only value that matters is being faith i don't want to
be scared i'm going to let the police do whatever they want including a dramatic
moment will feel really fundamentally radically depleting the kind of the
fighting that we have and they did it in that case for single nineteen-year-old
why would they do it indicate that actually pose a greater threat i think
that's what's really uh... sort of disturbing questions
