/** * */Every now and then, ordinary citizens can glimpse the breadth and depth of the surveillance infrastructure erect to monitor us. In the last few days, Americans have had such an opportunity, thanks to privacy researcher Christopher Soghoian, a doctoral student at Indiana University. On December 1, Soghoian published an audio recording of a presentation to a law enforcement industry conference on surveillance. The speech was from Paul Taylor, manager of Sprint’s electronic surveillance team. According to Taylor, Sprint provided law enforcement agencies with its customers’ (GPS) location information over 8 million times between September 2008 and October 2009. (Soghoian has now removed the recordings at the insistence of the conference organizers, who claimed he had violated copyright laws by posting them.) Sprint says the 8 million represents the number of individual “pings” for specific location information, not the number of targeted customers. According to Sprint, “Each investigation may generate thousands of individual pings to the network as the law enforcement or public safety agency attempts to track or locate an individual.” That may be the case. But it underscores how pervasive surveillance technology has become. And also the phenomenon of “surveillance creep:” how technology or law intended for a humanitarian purpose winds up being used to enhance surveillance capabilities
