Annual audit of a united states postal service
who would be happy when their mail are monitored by the a government agencies like Federal or state law? I think nobody wants this types of audit but its the fact that they are doing with the public mails. Thats what Lauren Walker is talking about in the article, ‘‘Postal service photograph every piece of mail in the U.S. ,shares with agencies that request it’’. The growth of surveillance program in the U.S. suffers people from watchful and responsible care that makes them feel vulnerable. According to article postal service website exposed the fact that USPS approved nearly 50000 requests to monitor American mails both internal USPS division and from state or federal law enforcement agencies at all levels. They were tracking mail through two program i.e. “Mail imaging” and “Mail isolation control and tracking program”.
This audit which is made by USPS became a tread to the American because they are watched by the government. It might be good to keep track and investigates criminals and keep safe the nation itself. But its not good for the those people who wants to live private. For some people they don't like to be watched by other that whatever they are doing in their life. So, this might be a big problem for the people. Since, government are monitoring without enough reason or authorization so, anybodys mail can be investigated. And we all know that America is know to be free nation which means people living here has more rights of freedom than other nation. In terms of this audit I don't think that we can call it free nation anymore because Americans are losing their rights.
Throughout this article the quotation that catched my attention was “Up the government without the need for any judges approval” by Mark Brodin, who was a professor at Boston college law school. This quotation clearly explains that government can investigate public mail at anytime they want without anybodys permission. Their target is to investigate and monitored American mails. For such investigation they don't need any authorization from anybody. And they can investigate anyones mails.
Reading this article reminds me my past experience. When I was young I was a good kid.I listen to the my teacher and i follow their instruction. But my parents always check my bag without any reason and it makes me angry because I don't like to know my privacy to other people. Also, I think that why they have to check my bag without any reason. So, this is the reason why people don't like unreasonable search and seizure.
In conclusion, I think government has to figure out the whos mail has to search and whos not search. Unreasonable search and seizure is not fair for the honest people . Therefore, there has to be certain reason to investigate people mails. And they should monitored only suspicious mails which contains bio-hazardous material. I believe if they apply this method other people will not affected and it looks fair for those who are honest.
