Laws Regarding Police access to information

The assignment should be between 2500 and 3000 words (not including footnotes and bibliography). Be sure to make every word count and avoid verbosity. Please include the word count on your cover page. You should be very clear about what the problem is and why some groups see it as a problem. You should also very clearly, precisely and concisely identify the main elements of the legislative initiatives that you are assessing (e.g. what does legislation currently say on the matter, and how it might be changed). In your analysis, you can conclude, on the basis of careful assessment, that the legislative change is necessary and should be enacted, or that the existing legislative and legal framework is adequate, and that no change is necessary. In either event, you must clearly set out the criteria on which you are making your evaluation, and you must point to evidence, whether it is empirical, theoretical or logical in nature, drawn from reliable sources such as scholarly articles and treatises, reports of advocacy groups, consultant reports, advisory government reports and other relevant and authoritative sources. Your assessment may consider such issues as the feasibility of the proposal, its fairness, its potential effectiveness, its costs, its likely impact on efficiency, and any other matter that may be relevant. (Be sure to make clear what it is that you think is relevant.) It is important to consider both the arguments favouring legislative change as well as those which object to the change. Citations to relevant cases, statutory provisions, articles, books, government documents, etc. should be provided in footnotes at the bottom of the page. There should also be a bibliography of all sources relied upon in writing the submission, appended to the end of the document. you will be evaluated on the following criteria: Clear identification of o the problem/issue o how legislation might be framed to address the problem/issue o the adequacy of existing legal frameworks, and o the opposing views on the issue; Clear statement and explanation of the criteria on which the proposals will be evaluated; Use of reliable and authoritative evidence to support analysis; Persuasiveness of analysis; Clear statement of a conclusion; Logical structure, clarity of writing, and accuracy/consistency/completeness of references in both footnotes and bibliography. Topic Law enforcement officials want to facilitate investigation of crimes by being able to require, without a warrant, that telecommunication and internet service providers hand make available customers' email communications that are maintained on the providers' servers without a warrant. The law enforcement officials argue that since these communications are in the hands of third parties, the customers have no reasonable expectation of privacy. They advocate for the enactment of legislation clarifying that they do not need to obtain a warrant in order to get access to such information.
