 “Is
Your Rental Home Your Castle?-Administrative Warrants and Personal
Privacy in the Twenty-first Century” - By Robert McNamara,
Esq., Institute for Justice, Washington, D.C.; Twelfth Annual
National Conference on Private Property Rights (PRFA, Albany,
N.Y., October 18, 2008)
The City of Red Wing, Minnesota, imposes administrative search
warrants (searches without probable cause) on rental properties,
collecting photos of the interior of residences (including even
the inside of closets), and intending to post these on the Internet
for police use. The right to privacy, to be secure in your home
from searches without probably cause, is guaranteed by the U.S.
Constitution.

- “It Comes
With A Price: U.S. Census Intrudes on Privacy” - By
Carol W. LaGrasse (Property Rights Foundation of America, February
18, 2005)
Twenty-four oversized pages of invasive questions in the American
Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau cause citizens to
justly worry about their privacy. But Congress precipitated the
inquiries in the long form census in order to obtain exhaustive
data to plan and fund big government programs.

- “Another
Snitch System Institutionalized” - By Carol W. LaGrasse
(PRFA January 23, 2005)
With the successful settlement of a lawsuit by an environmental
group, the Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks, citizen
informants can not efficiently report violations on the six-million
acre Adirondack Forest Preserve. New York State’s
trend toward environmental snitch systems is raising hackles
here and there.
