Overview

This documentary exposes Fourth Amendment violations by ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force). The police organization ICAC uses tactics which directly violate the interception and privacy laws derived from our Fourth Amendment. The 2nd edition provides five additional chapters detailing how they are wiretapping without a warrant. It also explains how officers plant evidence on computers and cell phones, including how they backdate evidence to the time they wanted the "crime" to have occurred.

New material discusses the RoundUp software tool suite and includes screen shots of the government's wiretapping software. The Wiretapping Freenet chapter is new. Excerpts from an affidavit describe how Yahoo is in cahoots with the federal government to wiretap their email system for anything "of interest" to the government. The last chapter now discusses various recommendations, including updates to statutes and how to regulate the use of Deepfakes.

ICAC originated in Virginia, but is now a nationwide organization. I wrote two amicus briefs with appendices as a pro se litigant and filed them with the Appellate Court of Virginia describing these tactics:
1. Officers claim to be a child and impersonate someone else to intercept communications - without Court authorization.
2. Officers use special tools over the internet to secretly break into private computers and search them without a warrant.
3. Officers unmask the identity of anonymous online users and geolocate them without a warrant.
4. The ICAC Cops Database inventories and tracks content of people's private computer data obtained without a warrant.

These tactics manufacture criminals using grant money, and account for a significant percentage of inmates in Virginia and nationwide. Everyone should ponder whether billions of our tax dollars should be spent to rescue zero children from these manufactured criminals.

About the Author

Ms. Burkhardt attended the University of Colorado, College of Engineering and Applied Science, graduating with a B.S. degree in Applied Mathematics with an emphasis in Computer Science. After graduation, she married her college sweetheart. The newlyweds moved to California where they both took positions with GTE Government Systems. While working in California, Ms. Burkhardt attended the University of Santa Clara part-time and received her M.S. degree in Computer Science and Engineering.
Ms. Burkhardt and her husband moved to Virginia where they settled and were blessed with two daughters. As children came into their lives, she switched to working part-time. Eventually she formed her own company to give her more flexibility as a mother. She has been a Stephen minister and is active in her church as a choir member.
Ms. Burkhardt has a Top Secret security clearance and over 35 years of experience intercepting and analyzing signals for Department of Defense. She is a software engineer who develops software and techniques to analyze intercepted weapons signals. She also has worked as a network protocol engineer and a system administrator. As such, she is well trained by the federal government on interception and privacy laws for her job. This experience gave her a unique perspective on privacy rights in the Electronic Age.
People she knew were being arrested due to online sting operations, which seemed out of character. Their description of these operation sounded fishy and in violation of our Fourth Amendment rights, based on her training. She researched the federal and state law behind her training and applied this knowledge to the police operations.
As an empty nester, she became more involved in politics. She became an activist for privacy rights in the Electronic Age, mixing her professional experience with her volunteer activities in politics. In recent years she began consulting as an expert witness.
