Would you allow scientist to pass around your information and use it for research without your consent?
Bill Nelson once said, “If we don’t act now to safeguard our privacy, we could all become victims of identity theft.” With the increasing amount of data that our mobile phones and tablets contain, encryption and security is becoming more vital everyday. Damon Beres, author of “What You Need To Know About Apple vs. The FBI” argues both sides as the war on privacy rights and national security continues. Although Beres uses a large amount of pathos throughout his article, he doesn’t use ethos and logos as much. When Beres does use logos and ethos though, he clearly states examples.
Let 's begin with a definition. What are Biometric Gun Safes? These are simply the latest, next-generation upgrade of pistol safes available today. (Of course, the locking mechanism may be used on other types of safe, but for the purpose of this article, we 'll focus more on the pistol-size
The act of “Stop and Frisk” began in the early 1900’s when crime rates began to escalate in major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Stop, question, and frisk, or SQF, is an urban policing measure that involves the large-scale deployment of officers in public spaces (e.g., sidewalks, alleys, the communal outdoor spaces of public housing) tasked with conducting frequent investigative stops (Huq, A.

Scheindlin, the appeals court said, jeopardized "the appearance of partiality ... by a series of media interviews and public statements purporting to respond publicly to criticism of the District Court”
Even though the Stop and Frisk program was a highly controversial law, a revised version of it should be implemented in every major city that suffers from high crime rates. The majority of people wanted the program to continue because it worked very well in NYC and It drastically reduced the number of murders and major crime in the city. First, In this essay, I will elaborate on what I mean by “a revised version” of the Stop and Frisk program, address the arguments made against the law, and then show you my argument for the program and the good it brought to the city of NYC and the good it can bring to other cities in America.

Each new program instituted to combat crimes comes with some controversy and its opponents. None has come under as much scrutiny as New York’s almost notorious Stop and Frick policy. Introduced as an approach to lever crime in The Big Apply, it has been scrutinized by what is being characterized as unconstitutional practice. Created under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, it has been credited at curbing crime and a fundamental tool in effective policing. Conversely, critics have pointed to the policy as being ineffective, racially driven and in clear violation of a person’s civil liberties.
Stop and Frisk is one of the most controversial police procedures implemented in New York City.

(Munro). This gives you an example of
Skepticism Prevails Between Lawmakers and FBI in the Encryption Summary U.S. law enforcement agencies and Silicon Valley have been at loggerheads ever since Apple launched the new smartphone encryption technology. Tech titans Apple and Google want ensure the privacy and security of their users by keeping user data more safe from data thieves and snoopers on their smartphones and computers. But for the U.S. law enforcement (from top FBI agents to local officials) the same devices are troves of evidence that could stop crimes catch law breakers.
Leading some political people to either be cautious of every step they took or to just retire from the current position they had.

In the article “The use of Body Cameras by Police Departments: A Good Idea? In Time Magazine, author Carter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using a body camera by police department. Carter mentions some researches and police officers’ opinions about the negative impact of using body cameras. The author concludes that body cameras should not be used by police departments. However, I believe that police officers should wear body cameras because it prevents excessive force and discrimination, allows to harness the technology, and is a tool for evidence gathering.
Biometric face recognition technology has received significant attention in the past several years to use human face as a key to security. Both law enforcement and non-law enforcement are its application. Face recognition system comprises of two Categories: verification and identification. Face Verification is Done in 1:1 match ratio. It is utilized to looks at a face pictures against a Template face pictures, whose identity being claimed.
Reduce operational costs and increase productivity Track and control vehicles to provide better communication, deliver timely services, etc. Transmit information quickly via satellites and prepare vehicle reports All these features of the tracking system ultimately reduces operational costs and increase productivity. Guide drivers and increase fuel efficiency By careful analysing driver behavior such as speeding, acceleration, braking etc. , you will be able to avoid unnecessary wear and tear of the vehicle, operating, and fuel costs With the help of sensors, you can minimize maintenance costs, machine failures, and thereby prevent vehicle theft Improve cargo security and driver's safety You can identify theft instantly
Cryptography is a technique or method to secure personal data from unauthorized user. In cryptography two types of operation are performed. (i) Encryption and (ii) Decryption. To encrypt and decrypt data a secret key is used. After encryption original data is converted into another format known as cyphertext, which is not easy to understand.
