Ericson, Richard Victor., and Kevin D. Haggerty. The New Politics of Surveillance and
Visibility. University of Toronto Press, 2007.
This source defines consequences of surveillance that include the invasion of privacy and
investigates privacy as a legal claim. It also explains how privacy rights are being shifted
by corporate and state interests and mentions the effect of the U.S. Patriot Act that bans
Internet providers from sharing their government Internet monitoring procedures. It
explores how, “Surveillance becomes the cost of engaging in any number of desirable
behaviors or participating in the institutions that make modern life possible” (Ericson &
Haggerty). Identifies how “institutional reluctance” to share information is one of the
greatest challenges to implementing surveillance systems (Ericson & Haggerty). This
source answers the research question by addressing how surveillance has affected privacy
rights. By explaining the effect of a specific policy like the U.S. Patriot Act on American
privacy rights, it is relevant to the question because it focuses on policy.

This journal is a response to The Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and
Reform Act of 2012. This act was passed to allow the deployment of drones in the United
States as a surveillance tool to aid investigations. There are many practical uses for
drones in crisis, such as missing persons cases, when drones can survey an area in much
less time than it would take people to search it on foot. However, because the Fourth
Amendment protects citizens’ privacy by requiring warrants for searches, whether or not
this act is out of accordance with the Constitution is questionable. It is difficult for the
courts to keep up with the constitutionality of technology and its uses, because it is being
