Recording of conversations and tracking via cell phone may be a common practice tool by so called “law enforcement”. It is a violation of rights to privacy and entrapment. Big Brother is alive and well in the USA. Our founding fathers would turn over in their graves if they knew what is being perpretrated and abused by officals.

[...] The US Attorney for the SDNY faces an uphill battle: Two courts (the EDNY and the Southern District of Texas) have considered the government’s arguments so far, and both found them completely unpersuasive.

Joy, the problem here is not that a criminal is doing anything wrong, but that the government is doing something wrong.

The government is supposed to have a reason to believe you might have committed a crime, or be in the process of committing a crime, before it begins such tracking. This is known as “probable cause.” In these cases, it did not have either. It was apparently doing surveillance on these people just to see what it could find.

The DOJ decided not to appeal either of these two decisions.

If you have done nothing wrong, the problem is that the government is doing something wrong, and must be kept in check.

I THINK IF YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG THEN WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? THEY WOULD NOT BE CHECKING ON THESE PEOPLE UNLESS THEY HAVE A REASON. IF YOU ARE INNOCENT GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE UNLESS THEY HAD REASON TO CHECK ON YOU! OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM WILL LET ALOT OF PEOPLE GET THE SO CALLED LITTLE SLAP ON THE HAND AND I THINK IT IS TIME THEY INFORCE THE LAW TO THE FULL EXTENT. IF YOU DO THE CRIME THEN YOU SHOULD DO THE TIME!!!
