“SPY SATELLITES”
Unknown to most of the world, satellites can perform astonishing
and often menacing feats. This should come as no surprise when
one reflects on the massive effort poured into satellite technology
since the Soviet satellite Sputnik, launched in 1957, caused panic
in the U.S. A spy satellite can monitor a person's every movement,
even when the "target" is indoors or deep in the interior of a
building or traveling rapidly down the highway in a car, in any kind
of weather (cloudy, rainy, stormy). There is no place to hide on
the face of the earth.
It takes just three satellites to blanket the world with detection
capacity. Besides tracking a person's every action and relaying the
data to a computer screen on earth, amazing powers of satellites
include reading a person's mind, monitoring conversations,
manipulating electronic instruments and physically assaulting
someone with a laser beam. Remote reading of someone's mind
through satellite technology is quite bizarre, yet it is being done; it
is a reality at present, not a chimera from a futuristic dystopia! To
those who might disbelieve my description of satellite surveillance,
I'd simply cite a tried-and-true Roman proverb: Time reveals all
things (tempus omnia revelat)...

Title lll of the omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act 18 U.S.C.
2510-2520, authorizes the use of electronic surveillance for classes of
crimes carefully specified in 18 U.S.C. 2516. Such surveillance is subject
to prior court order. 18 U.S.C. 2518 sets forth the detailed and
particularized application necessary to obtain such an order, as well as
carefully circumscribed conditions for its use. The Act represents a
comprehensive attempt by Congress to promote more effective control of
crime while protecting the privacy of individual thought and expression.
Much of Title lll has been drawn to meet constitutional requirements for
electronic surveillance. The most basic function of any government is to
provide for the security of the individual and his property. And unless
government safeguards its own capacity to function and to preserve the
security of its people, society itself may become so disordered that all
rights and liberties are endangered. Civil liberties, as guaranteed by the
U.S. Constitution, imply the existence of an organized society maintaining
public order without which liberty itself is lost in the excesses of
unrestrained abuses.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
("FISA" Pub.L. 95-511, 92 Stat. 1783,
enacted 1978-10-25, 50 U.S.C. ch.36) is
an Act of Congress which prescribes
procedures for the physical and electronic
surveillance and collection of "foreign
intelligence information" between "foreign
powers" and "agents of foreign powers"
(which may include American citizens and
permanent residents suspected of
being engaged in espionage and
violating U.S. law on territory under
United States control.[1]
1073 The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) --
50 U.S.C. § 1809
• Prior to the agency's contact with the AG, the DAG, or the Associate AG, oral approval to make
the request must first be obtained from the Assistant Attorney General (AAG) or a Deputy
Assistant Attorney General (DAAG) of the Criminal Division. This approval is facilitated by the
Office of Enforcement Operation's Electronic Surveillance Unit, which is the initial contact for
the requesting United States Attorney's Office and the requesting agency. Once the Electronic
Surveillance Unit attorney briefs and obtains oral approval from the AAG or the DAAG, the
attorney notifies the agency representative and the Assistant United States Attorney that the
Criminal Division recommends that the emergency authorization proceed. The agency then
contacts the AG, the DAG, or the AssocAG and seeks permission to proceed with the
emergency Title III.

§ 15.9 Prohibition against eavesdropping.
Except for the operations of law enforcement
officers conducted under
lawful authority, no person shall use,
either directly or indirectly, a device
operated pursuant to the provisions of
this part for the purpose of overhearing
or recording the private conversations

Penal Code Section 630
630. The legislature hereby declares that
advances in science and technology have
led to the development of new devices and
techniques for the purpose of
eavesdropping upon private
communications and that the invasion of
privacy resulting from the continual and
increasing use of such devices and
techniques has created a serious threat in
a free civilized society.
The Legislature by this chapter intends to
protect the right of privacy of the people
of this state.
