The bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives came forward Thursday, admitting that a box spotted and removed from an SRP power pole on 21st and Glendale avenues belonged to them and was part of an ongoing investigation.
ATF officials would not elaborate on the investigation and would not say if they were conducting surveillance in the area.
"I don't feel safer," said Brian Clegg, who called ABC15 about the box on the power pole behind his house.
Clegg was suspicious there could be cameras installed in the boxes but ATF would not confirm that.

Yes, please, before they wholesale kill more U. S. Citizens.
Retire at least some of them to Guantanamo.
My thoughts too.
I’ll betcha the ATF suited up in power company uniforms to do their dirty deed, which is also another crime. Or worse, the power company knew about it. Or even sneakier, a 3am climb up the pole dressed in black.
Befouled speed cameraVigilantes in Rouvrois-sur-Othain, France burned a speed camera on Monday. According to Est Republicain, the same automated ticketing machine on the RD618 had been spraypainted in January 2014 and burned in December 2015. In Lot-et-Garonne, the speed camera on the RD911 was smeared with excrement last Tuesday, Sud Ouest reported.
and from the UK:
A speed camera in Surrey, Englad was destroyed at 2am on December 1. According to police, a man driving a Land Rover Defender rammed the automated ticketing machine on Epsom Road in Merrow then tied a rope around it and pulled it down. After that, he poured gasoline on the device and set it on fire, Guilford People reported.

Yep.
*shrug* I don't think they are above railroading people...
From the article-
“An SRP representative told ABC15 that no one had permission to put the box on their pole.
Clegg has video of what he described as an SRP crew removing the box late last month.
The box was facing Cleggs house, a strip mall and a high school.
SRP said there were indications that law enforcement was connected to the box, but did not elaborate.
Clegg said the crew who installed the box came in a truck marked Field Pros. “
How about: “ATF and the Great Ammo Caper”.
By-the-way there’s a big Crossroads of the West Gun Show at the AZ Fair Grounds April 23-24. See’ya there!
A caped crusader in green lycra, multi-coloured socks and black Speedo swimming trunks has been hailed a hero by motorists.
The next time you see that van it’ll be parked in a parking lot at the High School or in the strip mall with a sign on it -—— “Acme Plumbing”.
