It allows access to cellphone, landline, SMS communications anywhere in the US from a point-and-click interface. It runs on a fiber-optic backbone that's separate from the internet. It is intended to increase agent productivity through workflow modeling, allowing for the routing of intercepts for translation or analysis with only a few clicks. The DCSNet real-time intelligence data intercept has the capability to record, review and playback intercepted material in real-time.
The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), also known as the "Digital Telephony Act," is a United States wiretapping law passed in 1994, during the presidency of Bill Clinton.
Originally CALEA only granted the ability to wiretap digital telephone networks, but in 2004, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) filed a joint petition with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to expand their powers to include the ability to monitor VoIP and broadband Internet communications – so that they could monitor Web traffic as well as phone calls.
If you think either political party is going to help us on this issue of mass surveillance, your are wrong, mass surveillance has bipartisan support and everyday people will be continued to be criminalized under preemptive conditions. The government agencies will keep pleading for encryption back doors until they get them, and they potentially could be manufacturing consent to pass anti-encryption legislation. For example, they could incite mentally disordered citizens to commit criminal acts, or have criminal informants distribute illicit porn to sexually-starved citizens, then bark at the legislators in DC that they don't have enough resources to combat these terrible criminals.
Look at the EARN IT Bill, where they are using fears of illicit pornography and public safety in order to scare politicians to vote for a bill that would execute our Fourth Amendment Rights.
Now I will be the first to say that OC Transpo is atrocious and that the trains were poorly designed. However, they were a necessary first step for a city of Ottawa’s size that may not ever have been built.
The amount of research and delays could have prevented the trains from ever being built. Remember how Ottawa removed its streetcars (not unlike a lot of North American cities) as it started its addiction of car dependence? The LRT probably would not have gotten approved had work started during or after the pandemic because of federal government possibly adopting hybrid work model and the only reason the future phases are going on are because of the sink cost into phase 1. I hope they fix the issues and actually promote denser zoning around stations in phases 2 and 3 so more people can use the LRT and it doesn’t become and infrequency commuter train like parts of GO Transit (looking at you London-Toronto).
