Supposedly, it’s against the law to kill 78 men, women and children.

Cell phone snooping ain’t no thing...comparatively. ..

What I recall is 82 people, up to 25 children.

But that number may have included a few ATFs.

Thought crime is already here, only they are called hate crimes particularly hate speech laws. The regular police enforce them.

Could have been 500, I dunno.

What I do know is watching this gubmint catastrophe on TV sickenend me and why none of the jack booted thugs committed suicide is remarkable

Why would they arrest them when the compromising information gleaned from their ‘listening’ is worth so much more to those pulling the strings?

And I’m not necessarily referring to those which you named...

The fact that this lawless activity (allegedly) continues speaks volumes.

He’s the one that sniped Randy’s wife. He was also at Waco.

Is the FBI even investigating any IRS lawbreakers?

Disgusting and gross display of gubmint power.

There is a certain segment of law enforcement that has an attitude that if it hasn't been expressly prohibited then it is okay. The other segment of law enforcement won't do that because they don't want to blow their case. A perfect example of this is the use of GPS trackers. A certain organization (FBI) started slapping trackers on anything that moved. That soon spread to DEA and ATF. Then it skipped departments over to HSI (rebranded ICE investigations). Meanwhile other agencies treated trackers with the a more conservative legal respect, getting specific warrants from the appropriate US Attorneys.

Needless to say warrantless trackers got the full smackdown and Stingray is getting it too.
