FEDERAL AGENTS ORDERED TO COVER UP MASSIVE SURVEILANCE DATABASE

[Geee]

Human Events:

Another reason to mistrust the Surveillance State comes to us from Reuters, which reports that federal agents have been ordered to cover up a massive surveillance database accumulated by the DEA, even to the point of hiding it from courts and judges:

 

A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans.

 

Although these cases rarely involve national security issues, documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin – not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges.

 

The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to “recreate” the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant’s Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don’t know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence – information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses.

I keep asking this, and so far....Zip...Nada...Nothing.

 

Evidently there is (supposedly) a problem. So what do you do with a problem? You A. run around scream and hollering, declaring the end of the world as we know it (which is pretty much all I see) or B. (radical concept alert) Come up with a plan/policy to Fix It.

We saw this video on Fox live and were astounded.

Pat Caddell (fomer loyal Democrat) and David Horowitz have traveled around together speaking and trying to get everyone to wake the hell up for several years now. Amazing that no one in the msm seems to care one iota.
