    In the pre-sentence report recommending Mr. Moreno's sentence, the Probation Officer added a point to his criminal history score as a result of September 2001 convictions for driving with a suspended license and for unsafe turning or stopping. For this earlier offense, Mr. Moreno was sentenced to six months in jail, with all but five days suspended, and six months of probation. The Probation Officer justified the addition of this point by citing the sentencing guidelines, which direct that sentences for less than sixty days should be given one point. The Probation Officer then determined that Mr. Moreno's criminal history points totaled ten, placing him at the bottom of criminal history category. The district court agreed with this result and calculated Mr. Moreno's total adjusted offense level to be twenty-five. The court subsequently sentenced Mr. Moreno to 100 months in prison, which is at the bottom of the 100 to 125 month range for an offense level twenty-five and criminal history category 5.

    The idea of privacy has slowly been diminishing over these past few generations. In a time where cavemen existed, privacy was cherished. The Privacy Act of 1974 was created for individuals who were concerned about their privacy rights when computerized databases were developed. It restricted agencies from sharing individual’s information with third parties. However, the Act did not protect all databases due to the fact that “databases” does not have a set stone definition (“EPIC”). In fact, a good example of an exception to this Act would be the Prince George’s County Government website. Located under the “Criminal Division” of this website you will find a link that will direct you to a Maryland Judiciary Case Search. On the redirected link the website states “This website provides public access to the case records of the Maryland Judiciary. Information origination within the District Court system and the Circuit Court of Baltimore City is entered after the close of each court day, and is available online the following day” (“Maryland Judiciary Case Search”). This information can be accessed by anyone. We no longer have control over what is private; technology has access to it all.
