New Yorks attorney general oversaw and facilitated secret surveillance on pro-life counselors outside an abortion clinic as well as the creation of a fake identity in an attempt to win an ongoing case, according to a witnesss testimony.
Testimony in People v. Griepp et al New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman against pro-life advocates counseling women outside of Choices Womens Medical Center in Jamaica-Queens, N.Y. illustrated Schneiderman used a witness to spy on pro-lifers via creating a fake Facebook account to access their information.
The witness testified she had used someone elses photo, listed her occupation as a bank teller, created a fake residency even posting about the weather there to gain credibility and went under the guise of Shelly Walker. The witness also allegedly accessed hundreds of pro-life activists personal information around the country she gave the data to Schneidermans office, according to The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC).
Im appalled at the Attorney Generals lack of respect for the First Amendment and his offices encouragement and use of fraudulent means to obtain information so that he can persecute peaceful pro-life citizens who have become the voice of the voiceless, TMLC president Richard Thompson said. He [Schneiderman] has forsaken his responsibilities as an independent law-enforcement officer and is now acting as an agent of the abortion industry, Thompson added.
ping - tyranny!
One legal concept that needs repeating :
Schneiderman.... slimey fellow.
I'm not a lawyer. Are you saying the Attorney General of a state does not need a warrant to order surveillance on someone?
Schneidermeyer needs to be locked up.
POS!
