When Richard asks about why privacy is an individual right, Binney pulls from the history of the Revolutionary War—recalling how British forces weaponized "general writs" to ransack early American homes without restriction. Their interview conversation exposes how today's domestic intelligence operations systematically bypass the intent of the founders. Binney points out to Richard that regardless of modern legal workarounds like the third-party doctrine, the federal government was fundamentally never intended to log information on all citizens without a specific, judge-signed warrant. #WilliamBinney #RichardGrove #FourthAmendment #PrivacyRights
