	Privacy is a difficult topic to get legal and moral arms around. Reading the different perspectives for this week, it becomes clear that there aren't any real clear guidelines on how to approach this difficult topic. Protected by a constitutionality?

			Instead of commenting on a specific article today, I thought I would give a big old mea culpa. I am probably the raison d'etre that people should take more care of their privacy settings on facebook. In addition to being a personal injury lawyer, I also run a quite a few insurance defence files that run the gamut from wrongful death to BS whiplash type claims. A MAJOR aspect of a successful defence among most young lawyers in this field of work is to do a full work-up of the plaintiff's lawsuit on the internet. This includes searching, facebook, myspace, twitter, linkedin, and general google searches etc. People think that just because they have their facebook set to private people like me will not be able to access their records. Unfortunately they are quite wrong. Many people have their settings set to share with others in the Network or their friends and open their profile that way. Alternatively, the vast majority of people list their friends for everyone to see. While I won't actually become their false friends to search their profile, if the case is serious enough, I will find meticulously search through their family members profiles (listed in their friends list) and collect all sorts of photos and comments that the plaintiff doesn't think I can get. Alternatively, if I can't get any serious information that way I will bring a motion to the court forcing them to disclose all portions of their facebook photos except their private messages. This motion will almost certainly succeed in Ontario.
			The moral of the story is that what you post on facebook and online is not private if someone is determined enough to get it. Many plaintiffs have lost tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands because they had a false sense of security in their online privacy.

	"There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for some federal crime," said John Baker, a retired Louisiana State University law professor who has also tried counting the number of new federal crimes created in recent years. "That is not an exaggeration."		"There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for some federal crime," said John Baker, a retired Louisiana State University law professor who has also tried counting the number of new federal crimes created in recent years. "That is not an exaggeration."

			And here is James Madison, from The Federalist Papers, The Senate (#62):

			"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?"

	I'm very interested in two points Dear Alice makes above, the first, that the question of privacy seems much bigger than a question of laws and regulations. I'd just expand this to say that perhaps much or all of what we've discussed this semester depends so much on what we view we take of what government is for, how big it should be, and (something we haven't really discussed) how this enforcement will occur and who will pay for it.

	The other point Dear Alice makes that I find compelling is that we all have said and done things, which, upon reflection, we'd prefer we hadn't. None of us would like to wear a list of these things on a sign around our neck, nor have them attached to our name when someone looks up our resume, or listing on a social network. ~~However, if we are going to continue to chip away at what remains hidden or unavailable to~~ the ~~casual searcher~~, ~~perhaps we will have~~ to ~~grow and develop other strengths~~. ~~One area~~ that ~~has been getting a lot~~ of ~~attention~~, ~~and~~ will ~~perhaps, soon, influence public policy is an understanding of how~~ the ~~context~~ of ~~how information is presented~~ can ~~change beliefs~~ and ~~opinions, and a rethinking of what and how we deal with behavior we, as a society, would prefer to discourage.~~		The other point Dear Alice makes that I find compelling is that we all have said and done things, which, upon reflection, we'd prefer we hadn't. None of us would like to wear a list of these things on a sign around our neck, nor have them attached to our name when someone looks up our resume, or listing on a social network. Much has been made of the privilege the rich and politically connected have, just in their ability to keep their behavior behind closed doors. Now that these areas of privacy are becoming fewer and fewer, will this further equalize society or further expand the privileges of those that can afford to socialize and work in areas that remain free from cameras or other public oversight?


	We've been using the words discipline and punish in our discussions, at times, perhaps loosely, when what our intentions are perhaps to prevent or discourage behavior, or even encourage alternate behaviors. I wonder if we've spent enough time thinking about whether discipline and punishment actually deter the behaviors many of us have been discussing. Or if we've thought through the implications of a society so quick to jump to discipline and punishment, when prevention and discouragement might be more desirable.

	As a footnote to this discussion, there is a Wall Street Journal article which discusses an attempt to count the number of federal criminal laws, and an article on the Library of Congress's website that discusses the WSJ article and expands upon it. blogs.loc.gov/law/2013/03/frequent-reference-question-how-many-federal-laws-are-there/		As a footnote to this discussion, there is a Wall Street Journal article which discusses an attempt to count the number of federal criminal laws, and an article on the Library of Congress's website that discusses the WSJ article and expands upon it. blogs.loc.gov/law/2013/03/frequent-reference-question-how-many-federal-laws-are-there/
