Thank you for reading and providing an excellent response. Granted, most interrogation methods appear to violate a person’s 5th Amendment right. But, when conducting further research of the mode, methods, and techniques utilized during an interrogation it does not violate a person’s right. Consequently, techniques utilized by clandestine organization have caused for a great concern the violation of a person(s) 5th Amendment right. Additionally, the intelligence community, composed of 17 different organizations that differ in objective. But all have one thing in common, the safety of the United State National Security. Each component within the Intelligence community (IC) conducts their specific method of information collection, analysis, and dissemination. The other interest all components within the intelligence has in common is combating terrorism, by means of counter measures. Furthermore, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) can conduct counterterrorism activities that appear unconventional. However, many of their …show more content…

Their actions are legal, but the borderline illegal. However, every operation conducted is planned and approved by a high-ranking official within the government. So, if an illegal act appears to be committed the risk lays on the approving authority. The EO 12333 is a document produced to protect the sanctity of the intelligence community and the conduct of intelligence operations. As with any order, they do not express the full extent of outlining all variables that may present itself during intelligence collection operations. Therefore, some executive orders become interpretations of what is the underline meaning of the order. Additionally, that is why an untrained person(s) may conclude that an illegal act has taken

  • Case Study Of Captain Wilson's Fifth Amendment Law

    Argument: Detective Willis’ questioning of the after Captain Wilson’s request for an attorney was not in violation Captain Wilson’s Fifth Amendment rights. The Fifth Amendment is applicable to this case because there was government action involved. In addition, Captain Wilson was by definition in custody because he was arrested and taken to the police station where the suspect lost his freedom of action. Officer Heinrichs informed Captain Wilson of his Miranda rights and began questioning. While Captain Wilson was indecisive to either remain silent or follow his commanders advice, he did not invocate his right to remain silent clear and unambiguous to the police officers. That is why the questioning continued for another thirty minutes. Once Captain Wilson clearly implied “I am going to call a lawyer right now” is when the police officers ceased questioning immediately. As for Captain Wilsons statements to the undercover police detective “Jim”, are admissible under the Fifth Amendment. “Jim’s” question to Captain Wilson of why he was in jail is not in violation of the Fifth Amendment. Captain Wilson still had knowledge of his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent because Officer Heinrich recently gave Wilson’s Miranda rights during their questioning. In addition, Miranda rights are only applicable during a custodial interrogation. Where in this matter, there was no custodial interrogation. “Jim” was not interrogating Captain Wilson. “Jim” was asking a

    NB: I would like to state a couple of points on the CIA’s drone operations. The CIA is not limited by war zones and is sanctioned to conduct covert operations in any area that is considered significant. Moreover, the executive branch does not blatantly sanction CIA operations without pondering over the information presented to it. Also, there is a congressional oversight committee that sets parameters in which the organization can operate within; these are usually agreed behind closed doors or during classified sessions. This does not mean that all participants concerned do not make bad judgment calls seldom.

    379 Words  | 1 Pages

    Miranda v. Arizona is a very important activist decision that required police to inform criminal suspects of their rights before they could be interrogated. These rights include: the right to remain silent, that anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have a right to an attorney, if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed to you be the court. In this case the Fifth Amendment's right that a person may not be forced to incriminate one's self was interpreted in an activist way as meaning that one must be aware of this right before on is interrogated by the police. Prior to this ruling it was common practice to force and coerce confessions from criminal suspects who did not know they had the right not to incriminate themselves.

  • Intelligence Sharing: Intelligence and Law Enforcement

    1751 Words  | 4 Pages

    Intelligence collection and apprehension of criminals have occurred for many years; however, with the exception of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, these actions were performed by different organizations. Nonetheless, roles and responsibilities have changed since the attacks on September 11, 2001. Intelligence-led policing and the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing program were incorporated, and fusion centers were established to help gather intelligence from different levels of the government. Although law enforcement at the local, state, and tribal levels aid in intelligence collection, it is important to ensure that intelligence gathered to protect national security and law enforcement intelligence are kept separately. Even though law enforcement operations can strengthen intelligence operations and vice versa, complications can arise when the two actions are combined. Government agencies must also ensure that sensitive and secret information does not leak or is not compromised when sharing intelligence. Therefore the purpose is to describe intelligence and law enforcement operations, discuss the expectations of prevention and punishment, and discuss the benefits and consequences of combining law enforcement and intelligence operations.

    Another problem when dealing with intelligence operations is that during an operation the agent is not allowed to collect, analyze, or disseminate any information that may be incidentally collected on a United States citizen. When the United States Marine Corps collects intelligence for operations on military bases with aerial photography, there must be expressed written permission by neighboring communities that may be photographed in conjunction with the collection methods (OpsO VMU-1). There are times when intelligence is collected while in training areas that bordering communities may be depicted as well. These individual families or businesses must each approve of being possibly viewed during surveillance, as long as they are not the actual target of the intelligence gathering operation. The same rules of engagement apply while in combat situations.

  • The Growing Number of Private Intelligence Corporations

    Throughout the course of history, wars have been fought with Nation-state’s armies. Along with traditional armies came along traditional intelligence gathering by the armies themselves. Throughout history much of the intelligence gathered was by both the army and private citizens. This is only the beginning. In the Post 9/11 world the need for intelligence gathering is far from being satisfied. This leaves a wide open gap in the system and to fill that gap many private agencies such as Stratfor, Global Strategies Group and iJET have moved in and started to fill. The question that seems to pop up from many places is the legal standing of these agencies and who exactly governs their activities? Is the answer to move more intelligence operations to the private sector?

  • The CIA: The Purpose Of The CIA

    The Central Intelligence Agency was created September 18, 1947, with the National Security Act. The authors of the Call to Freedom textbook, Sterling Stuckey, and Linda Salvucci, define the CIA as, “A secretive organization created by the National Security Act in 1947”. The author of “Cold War: Almanac”, Sharon M. Hanes, states clearly what the purpose of the CIA is, “In the United States, responsibility for gathering intelligence and carrying out spy operations, often called covert operations, in foreign countries fell to the CIA”. This makes the CIA and FBI different. The FBI interferes with issues in the United States while the CIA interferes with international issues.

    In response to the failure the CIA has directed many of its new recruits to assignments involving the Russians. However, this process will take a number of years due to the training required for the new agents to learn the Russian language and become able to recruit and manage spies (Miller, 2016). Although the CIA is responsible for monitoring the Russians abroad, those who are in the United States fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). In a successful operation in 2010, the FBI arrested a group of ten Russian spies who had been operating in the United States for a number of years (Markon, J., 2010). The arrest of 10 spies was a great success for the FBI. However, given the amount of people arrested at a single times in concerning. What is even more concerning is why an arrest of this magnitude did not raise concern to the CIA. As recent as last year Congress has allocated more funding to the CIA for operation in Russia, However, the agency has not been able to utilize the funds due to a lack of authority which is granted by President (Miller,
