Obama administration urges freer access to cellphone records

(Reuters) - The U.S. Congress should pass a law to give investigators freer access to certain cellphone records, an Obama administration official said on Thursday, in remarks that raised concern among advocates of civil liberties and privacy.

Jason Weinstein, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's criminal division, argued that requirements for warrants at early stages of investigations would "cripple" prosecutors and law enforcement.

getting those warrants is a pain in the ass and that damn Constitution

[Cougar Bait]

I would love for them to only get the rights to JJ's phone records.

[minet123]

Do you really think that the Romney administration will give back those powers
or for that matter the Paul administration or Obama 2 or whatever telegenic talking head the wall street/services workers union put up
the executive branch of the US gov't could do whatever it wanted from Washington to Nixon when it came to policing for the "greater good"
Ford gave alot back after the Nixon fiasco
Dick Chenney sole purpose was to get those powers back
he succeeded after some crazy azz arabs decided to meet gawd
do you think any administration will give power back

[Sam Odom]

Dwight , you will NOT hear a peep out of Libs condemning this... All they will say, the ones who do speak, will be "But Bush..."

that amazes me. If Bush did it today, I would be as harsh if not harsher towards him. But Liberals only reply is "But Bush ... " like you correctly point out. And yet, we still try and debate with them.

bush would never in a million years do something like this

republicans want the government OUT of your private life, and republicans want YOU to be the only one able to tell you what to do

There's not a dime's worth of difference between Bush and Obama.

Exactly, they all use burners. It's remarkable people are so blind to not realize Ron Paul is the best choice available,

[MendozaLine]

Yep. nothing says small government and freedom like telling a woman she cant have an abortion or a gay man he can't marry.

Don't tread on me! Except under certain circumstances

If you think Paul would do anything to try to give the executive branch more invasive powers than before, you are really dumb, or hopefully just really clueless.

No he would only implement programs like the TSA and homeland security so that government can harass you right to your face.

I agree. Both war mongers that look for any excuse to wipe their ass with the constitution.
