A “Ticking Time Bomb”

The world is becoming more and more connected each and every single day, and each of us who live and work and interact in this digitized world give little bits of ourselves away. With social media applications such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tumblr, individual and corporate data that at one point in time was considered highly personal and classified, has now been made readily accessible to the general public with a click of a mouse.

At the turn of the millennium, the term “server” still referred to the person who brings the food to your table at a restaurant, but now it encompasses a completely different meaning altogether. Today, a server refers to a computing program that allows users to store electronic data, such as emails, Google searches, banking records, phone conversations, text messages, pictures, personal information, etc.

More than Just Coffee

Colombian coffee has been recognized worldwide for its high quality and distinctive taste. Since 1959, Juan Valdez, the famed Colombian coffee farmer, alongside Conchita, his trusted mule, have become the universal symbol representing the pride and joy of the Colombian coffee industry. This fictional character has become a national icon, to the point where the Juan Valdez character is used as an ingredient brand, to specifically denote coffee beans that are only grown and harvested in Colombia.

The coffee industry has served as a source of economic stability for the entire country by providing a source of steady income for hundreds of thousands of native Colombians. However, Colombia is also recognized as the world’s largest producer of cocaine and business. The effects of cocaine production range from environmental damage to effects on education, health and the country’s economy.

“How’s My Driving?”

At some point or another, we’ve all been a victim of one of those commercial service vehicles with the bumper sticker that reads, “How’s My Driving?”

Normally we don’t pay too much attention to the driving behaviors of these commercial vehicles until we get stuck behind one of them, usually in a one-lane stretch of road. We want to punch the gas pedal and pass them up, but we often don’t because of the insistent fear that we’ll end up in a head-on collision with an oncoming car on the opposite side of traffic… or because our cars don’t have the horsepower to do so.

Supreme Court Mandates Warranted GPS Tracking

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that law enforcement officials violated the Constitutional rights of suspected cocaine dealer, Antoine Jones, when they attached a GPS tracking device on his Jeep without a search warrant. The data obtained from the GPS tracker was used to convict Jones of possession of narcotics with the intent to distribute, which was later overturned in a federal appeals court.

District of Columbia police and FBI agents watched Jones, a nightclub owner, for months with an array of surveillance techniques, including tapping his cellphone under a warrant from a federal judge. Police had obtained a warrant for the District of Columbia, however, it expired before the GPS tracking device was installed in Maryland.

The United States vs. Antoine Jones

On November 8, 2011, the Supreme Court listened and responded to oral arguments from both sides in a landmark case, which would have determined whether police and law enforcement agencies would be able to monitor suspected criminals with covert GPS tracking devices without having to obtain a warrant.

The case involved a suspected cocaine trafficker in the Washington, D.C. area, whose movements were monitored 24/7 over a 28 day period without a warrant by the FBI and local police investigators. Some of the information obtained from the GPS tracker was used to convict Antoine Jones of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, which was later overturned by a lower circuit appeals court.

New GPS System Tracks Whereabouts of Pedophiles

Queensland’s (Australia) most notorious pedophiles have been caught lying about their whereabouts and meeting other child-sex offenders after being fitted with new GPS trackers in December of 2011.

The new GPS system, costing $13.7 million, triggered 287 alarms last month, 53 of which were serious enough to follow-up on. This lead to several breaches, which authorities acknowledge wouldn’t have been detected so quickly, if at all without the help of the new GPS tracking system.
