Phone calls, emails and social networks have all been places where the government, or the Justice Department have been monitoring with increasing frequency.
These instances are occurring without a warrant and have been increasing over the last 4 years according to the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union).
ACLU’s data shows that government tracking from 2009 to 2011 increased surveillance of phone calls by 60% and emails or other electronic computer related communications by a whopping 361%.
According to the Justice Department, these occurrences have been authorized by a federal judge on “every instance”.
