oh, her face of stopping of a british conservative and pleased to class a terrorist incident by the police. i turned to find the old man, reportedly of somali origin has been arrested on suspicion of martha us marine officer plead guilty of criticizing them into leadership for the payoff withdrawal from afghanistan. he remains defiant, however, that senior leaders need to be held to account that has disturbing images on the latest terror attack and that upon a stand last as a most confront as a leading dozens dead, is the latest in its cradle release. incidents since the us as the headlines for you, the sound of a picture is up next on asking to us on this we show ever get the

feeling you're being watched. listen to followed. it's not your imagination and it's getting worse. this week, our special report on surveillance. i'm holland cook in washington. this is the big picture on our t america. ah . every year facebook, google and other companies we trust receive hundreds of thousands of orders from law enforcement agencies seeking information. we put online your e mails and text messages your calendar, right. i'm sure pictures and videos and big tech companies are not allowed to tell you that they're handling over your information in a washington post opinion piece. microsoft president brad smith writes, not long go if the government wanted to serve a search warrant as part of

a criminal investigation. it had to do so in person with notice. and agent or officer needed to bring a signed warrant to a house or a building and hand it to the target of the probe at the front door. only then could the government search the premises for documents records and computer files by serving search warrants on companies such as apple, google, and microsoft to obtain e mails and messages that belong to our customers. government prosecutors also asked courts to impose gag orders on companies such as ours that prevent us from letting people know that copies of their emails are now in. the government's hands creeped out. yes, this has been going on for a long time, and the noblest aimed patriot act through gas on the flames. what's wrong with this picture? let's ask attorney madeline. pend lee from levon papp,

antonio rafferty and pensacola. madeline, welcome. thanks for having me. how hard is it? to get a search warrant for my home or workplace, and how much easier if it is, is it to get a warrant? and instead search apple or google or facebook or some other platform i use in either situation they're going to have to. because for you to invest, to be investigated. but just as you mentioned, it's actually much easier now, at least not terribly difficult to get a search warrant or subpoena for intelligence purposes, which usually include things like data and internet search history. it actually started with the reagan administration in $1081.00. he created an executive order that gave broad surveillance power of an essay. it's been amended several times, like you mentioned, most recently in 2008 by the patriot act. so since then, it's actually seemingly easier to get a subpoena or warrant or internet or intelligent based information rather than

a warrant to enter somebody home. we've all seen enough cop shows on tv to be able to recite the miranda warning. you have the right to remain silent. madeline can what we post on social media, which is out there in public, or what we have written person to person more privately and email, be used against us in a court of law. unfortunately, yeah, it can. there's 2 different scenarios there. you've got the public information, you know your status is what you're posting to other people publicly, your photos, all of that can absolutely be used in a court of law. no weren't required. usually. as far as the private message is, it's a little bit more complicated unless the person you're communicating with turns that information over to the government, the government is supposed to have a warrant or subpoenaed to get that information. unless, you know they ask the judge for permission and they just go to the tech company themselves. that either way, yes, all this information is admissible in court of law when surveillance and privacy and matters like this come up. we will often hear about

a reasonable expectation of privacy in 2021 mattel, and what is a reasonable expectation of privacy? from a common sense standpoint, i think we all understand, you know, you can watch it any time, but that's really not the legal expectation of a reasonable partition or privacy for, from a legal standpoint, all you have to have is what a reasonable person, you know, basically be offended by the intrusion. so the classic example is bugging somebody's phone without a warrant. you know, there's a reasonable accent taishan that only the person on the other end of the phone call hearing the conversation. so actually, the supreme court ruled in 2018 cellular data information like that is protected under the 4th amendment, that people do have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to their cellular data and search history. which makes sense, you know, what is more revealing about a person than what they do on the internet. you can see where they shop,

where they travel. you can see their location, maybe their bank account history, who they talk to, what they think about. that definitely makes sense and this type of information is protected. but the problem here is when the government is appealing this type of information, like you mentioned, the target of the investigation is not aware. so they don't have the same ability that they have in person search and seizure to bring up issues to the court. the fact that i feel this is improper, this should not have happened or not aware of the search at all. so they can't invoke those 4th amendment protection. and in terms of the people who are on the phone together, even recording that call, the rules vary from state to state, correct. in some states, both parties must consent. in some state, only one party may consent to recording the call, correct? exactly. in florida, you can't record a conversation without somebody permission. you can't record anybody at all without their permission. so even, you know, florida ultimately offer more protections in that regard than some other states. but yes, you're exactly right. madeline penalty 11 pap antonio rafferty law firm and pensacola,

thank you for stepping into the big picture. come again. leah government isn't the only peeping tom. there is an entire industry selling information about what you do and who you know, have you ever been to amazon dot com? are you on facebook, instagram, or linkedin ever search on google or yahoo? this is just a partial list of places that surveillance vendors, social net is watching. if you or your friends spend time in any of those, or dozens of other cyber and neighborhoods, here's what social net subscribers can learn about. you start with a name or alias search social networks, search for friends, followers, or following it even retrieve additional information like locations, tommy's or other helpful clues. you can visualize one to one correlations,

as well as multiple relationships and networks of people into the thousands of records. through link analysis, social net can uncover key puzzle pieces for investigations of all kinds. clients of companies like social net and case where and shadow dragon and other similar vendors include intelligence agencies, government, police corporations, even schools. how much are we to blame for our dwindling personal privacy? is our t boned bus co host an investigative journalist, spend swan or hole in the really is just a few companies that seem to be leading the charge into this high tech world for home gadgetry. the only problem is that the more we look at this tech, the more it seems like it's creating a high tech surveillance state. amazon is leading the charge on this. recently the company showed off an atomic 20 pound dog like robot, named astro,

with large cartoony eyes on its tablet face and a cup holder. this robot, not unlike alexa on wheels use of the voice recognition software cameras, artificial intelligence, mapping, technology, and voice, and face recognition sensors. as it zooms from room to room capture in live video and learning your habits, what could possibly go wrong. i believe it or not, it's not the most invasive thing that amazon is rolling out. the company which acquired the ring doorbell in 2018 for a $1000000000.00 has announced the subscription service. we're 3rd party professional monitoring companies will analyze live feeds through your doorbell camp. amazon also sells a $250.00 drone called always home cam. with an attach camera that can automatically fly around your house and stream video to your smartphone. but it's not just a surveillance inside and around your home. facebook has now rolled out its ray ban smart glasses that allow the user to record video, take photos and even answer phone calls. the glasses have a physical switch on the inside to turn off the capture features while they also

allow for a flash of an l. a. d light on the front so that people know they're being recorded or in the photo. the only problem is, is that a small piece of tape can be used to cover that life, and people in public then wouldn't know they were being recorded. and one of the big legal questions surrounding all of this hauling though is how much access does law enforcement have to these gadgets? and the recorded audio and video feeds that they are collecting. for instance, we know that the ring video doorbell has already been used by law enforcement in order to monitor activity on a certain street or in a certain location. the question is, how much access will law enforcement now have to the video captured inside your home or out in public when someone is wearing those facebook glasses? a bad know we ourselves give away a lot on social media, suggest some do's and don'ts. what can we do and not do to avoid the over sharing? well, there's a couple of important points there. number one, you have to recognize that you are the product right of all of these companies. so

what information do you need to keep private in, in comparison to the amount of convenience you want to have? so just as a for instance, would be the astro dog. you know, people might be buying in their, in their home. do you want that to have access to your entire home? how much of your home are you going to give it access to? do you keep it on only certain rooms? do you control your conversation and the people that you're talking with when you're in those rooms? how about alexa, for instance, alexa cameras, in some people have them all over their house and therefore it's recording every conversation you have. alexa does have a switch that you can go to manually turn it off. so at times, do you turn that off? do you keep it out of your bedroom? there are certain steps that you have to take in order to recognize that all of this information is being catalog and it is being recorded. and one other important note on that. you know, we're talking about the issue of law enforcement and i know you were talking about it with your previous guest hall and you have to remember that law enforcement has a responsibility to go to a court in order to extract information or get a warrant. however, they don't always have to have a warrant if

a company wilfully gives it up a company like amazon loves to work with law enforcement. it's one of their should their new markets that they want to reach out to. so if amazon simply hands over your information without a warrant necessary, there is no obligation on the part of law enforcement to get one. if a 3rd party is handing it over. yeah, the government is a big client of big tech r t boom bus co host an investigative journalists, ben swan, thank you. sky net is having a feeding frenzy. hey, grab a pen. ben mentioned alexa and when we come back, tech talker, dave grave line will give you step by step instructions for telling. alexa, this does not leave the room also after this quick break. is your boss spying on you? this is the big picture on our t america. ah

ah ah, ah ah, ah. oh is your media a reflection of reality?

ah, in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. while the jig is up rather than other land merican, contrary armed with volcano energy is you know, wall street and the whole financier class the

ah, we have invited her into our homes increasingly and multiple rooms. smart speakers are real handy, and the t rex among various brands is alexa. she'll tell you the news and weather and after an exhaustive series of tests, we've discovered she knows cocktail ingredients, and she can do super quick math. and if you're amazon prime, she'll play you almost any song. your wish is her command, just speaker name. she's constantly listening for it and capturing what she hears. forget privacy, no such thing. but let's talk about at least alexa at this point. so here's what you do, your visit, amazon dot com, go to alexa privacy, of course you gotta log on, or you can open the alexa app on your smartphone or your tablet. on the settings

menu, you then locate the alexa account tab, alexa privacy, and then browse or select commands, and then say, alexa, delete what i just said before. alexa, delete everything i said today, and it's only today, and they'll still have the information. meanwhile, at work, how is your employer surveilling you? if you're back to working at work, you are seen on whatever security cameras are installed in plain sight. if you're working at home as many continue to your company may be tracking what you do. a recent washington post reminds that on work issued computers. employers can gather data from your keyboard, like how often you're typing and even your webcam. if fits in your employment agreement, corporate internet connections, your employer probably can see what sites you visit and it can access the emails

you sent from the company accounts. one remote worker tells me i have to wiggle my mouse by 8 30 in the morning. this will come as no surprise if you read your company's employee manual. the society for human resource management advice was clients that from a legal perspective, this closing surveillance is the smartest tactic. letting employees know that they will be monitored, removes employees reasonable expectation of privacy. the element that often forms the basis for invasion of privacy lawsuits arising under common law, a garden variety employee manual boiler plate will say that the company owns its computers and other communication systems. so employ is should have no expectation of privacy of any correspondence messages or information in the systems. common sense, common practice you should anticipate. let's ask hillary for, i do a president of washington based straw mark,

business development consultants. hillary. welcome back. pleasure holland. that the post report describes a software product called hub staff. that takes intermittent screenshots of your desktop to see what you're up to. and tara mind can display employees desktops. and how's this for a brand name? sneak, it takes workers photos throughout the day. so assume that your web cam never blanks . hillary, these products seem cutting edge or they commonplace. they are actually holland. and i'm going to throw a few statistics out to you that current where actually is one of the, what they call on both swear companies. so this is called boss where, which is nice. i love that new, new catch phrase for cocktail party, right? absolutely. along. all right, so both way now, computer where they actually have stated that about 94 percent of all organizations with any sort of i t are using some sort of software that is overseeing their

employees and compute the current. whereas an organization that is global and endpoint software from then also extension has said that 92 percent of employees interestingly is totally ok with being monitored if and this is a big if it's to their benefit and or to their welfare for the welfare of the employee themselves, so that is understandable. and last but not least in a recent study, by gallop poll, 74 percent of all c o's have said that given the statistic is 77 percent of employees, want to work remotely. 74 percent of say they're going to find a way to have their employees work remotely. what does that mean? it's not only commonplace. given those statistics, it's going to common commonplace because it needs to have the needs to be a way for management to monitor their employees. so they make sure they're not taking a cobra vacation. watching netflix hanging out in their underwear while they're being paid. i'm struck by 90 plus percent of employees are okay with watching. yeah

. if it in years to their benefit bosses are busy people. i'd like to think they're too busy to what spy on employees out of lurid curiosity. what are employers legitimate, prudent motives for surveillance of this sort? yeah, and there are a number of prudent reasons for this. i think one of them is that according to the gallup poll, the $605000000000.00 is lost in productivity, to disengaged employee. so what it does is software can detect a disengaged employee. now you might think, oh that just because our boss where wants to see if people are being lazy. importantly, things like, if a company has instituted some new software, but some employees are using it or productivity goes down. it's a great, great way for me to be able to monitor about that's number one. number 2, it can demonstrate insight into how employees are operating, and i think if you're a productive employee, one should actually welcome it. if it's transparent,

if the company is being transparent, why do i say that? because if the employee is getting all these insights into productivity, what does it mean? well, there isn't a lot of data on the spot. just think about something. it actually could eliminate racial issues, gender issues, age issues. if you're a productive employee, that computer doesn't know what race, what, and what religion you are, what size you are, what age you all, it's totally and utterly based on data. and that can be very good in terms of not only a company's liability, they can say, oh joe bloggs over here all through the isn't productive. look at the numbers, doesn't matter what race, gender, religion, or anything they are. whereas as an employee, it can be great for your defense. if you're a wonderful employee and your number, like the old gag on the internet, nobody knows that you're a dog. yeah, because many employees are incentivized, they're on a bonus plan. productivity is not a bad thing. they prove that hillary, the casino pit boss. and the shiny suit is probably the ultimate watchful

supervisor. but different industries have different cultures in which is the observant quality control, problematic. well, i would say going back to your, your point about the, the pitfall it, i think, as long as business has been in existence, that's always been somebody monitoring is only that now because of the work at home . when noticing this being in our home, think about it. the full mom was walking around the plot of the shop floor. so there's always been some kind of monitoring. it's the way it's being done now. so where it works is like i said, where it's transparent. now where it doesn't work to your question, there are places where the business is not only have gotten into trouble like barclays bank in the u. k. within a master lawsuit because they weren't transparent about what they were doing. and where doesn't it work? it doesn't work in industries where there's a lot of creativity, because creativity isn't necessary to do with productivity. one actually has to think of isaac newton. i don't if you knew it's rather interesting. he was at cambridge and he was sent home because of the bought people and played were here on the cove, it and world working from home. he was working from home as

a student after dinner when he went out and sat down to the apple tree contemplating under the apple tree. when the apple fell on him, we learned about gravity from isaac newton. so creative professions, you call judge a no technology can judge how creative you're being, it doesn't tend to work. so where does it work? it works in professions where there's a lot of repetitive work, maybe an i t programmer, but not those designing the actual software. don't crowd the kitchen. the chef has an assortment of knives. yeah. hey, quickly while i have you back to work, the companies your work with you're working with, are they back in the workplace? are they abandoning the workplace? how are they doing with employees who don't want to come back? actually very interesting question because i just was yesterday on couple of june 3 of out of the whole day. and in all 3 instances, they've now pushed back having employees come back til january and old, and these are called global companies. and let's see what that looks like in

january. yeah. hilary ford, which straw mark dot com. thank you for stepping into the big picture. there was probably no place on earth where more cameras were pointing in the same direction all at once. at that moment then then and there at the boston marathon finish line. even as 1st responders arrived on scene, police were already gathering footage from nearby security cameras. and suna authorities were knitting that together with images from atm machines and news footage and thousands of images and videos sent by onlookers. and not all government surveillance is odious. despite controversy about traffic cameras that have been installed in various cities and towns in rhode island, to catch speeders and knuckleheads running red lights, and b, c 10. their reports. how these cameras help now. but a woman on a crime spree that started with a stolen car up in worcester, massachusetts,

and ended with a police chase through the providence area. they had her under arrest in just an hour. so smile for the surveillance camera. as coven researches, america's deep division resurfaces. but even with pandemic, protocols so controversial, we can all get along and etiquette adviser to the stars, lisa gosh, k, beverly hills manners dot com says simply be observant when you are approaching any social situation. the most important thing you can do is literally just tune into your surroundings. notice who your people are and what their philosophy may be. and you can do that by just entering the scene and listening 1st before you launch and to speak, or act in a certain way. obviously, as you just mentioned, everybody has

a certain belief about the pandemic and post panoramic and how do we emerge. and so not that you necessarily have to share everything that you personally feel about that, but it's all about respecting one another and making one another feel comfortable. so if you tune in 1st to kind of assess your surroundings, then you're able to adjust accordingly. and then you don't ruffle anyone feathers in the process. that is the big picture. come on back, same time, next week. we always appreciate your washing. if you can't watch in real time, said your d v r for direct tv channel 3 to one on the dish dish, we're 280 you tube dot com flash r t america is our live feed. and my shows archives are renew tube dot com slash the big picture r t. and all of the above and all of us that are a t america are on the free, portable tv app and the app store and on google play,

or at portable that tv where live and on demand on any connected device. i'm holland cook in washington and that holland cook on better or if you follow me, i'll follow you question more. ah ah ah ah oh also for eric room identify 2 types of freedom, freedom,

roman freedom too. and while we all idealize the latter achieving the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age. this is especially true for africa, which, for centuries has been exploited under all sorts of pretexts. what needs to happen with the continent to truly take it's deserve place in the world? when i see black america, i seen part of myself. when i was growing, young black america spoke to me when white australia did not. those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where white lives mattered. and i was not white. like ms. newman and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to whitefish

aboriginal people here more every day. we are out loaded system. now with the lisa, we're out with them. what children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system and they're all the still are friends in daycare. ah ah, i am max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. well, the jig is up president of a latin american country armed with volcano energy is calling out wall street and the whole finance year class stacy. right max. well, if you don't get it by now,

after 10 years of kaiser report telling you about big coin, you're never going to make it. and g m, i label kelly, who is the president of our salvador tweeted about in response with cnn piece pushing the fact that markets are near all time highs. wall street just doesn't get it. the earnings are not real. it's just more money being issued with the same amount of stocks. a real crisis is coming in the supply chains. products, ports, fuel ships, trucks, factories, workers, parts resources is right in front of us. right? well, but kelly, president of el salvador, the george washington on the 21st century. i like to com. he's on to something there. stock prices are only going up because the money printing that's going on behind the scenes. this is why venezuelan stock market it new all the time. i. this

is why so bob, why in the ran stock markets are hating highs b.
