According to a new declassified ruling from the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), FBI personnel systematically abused National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance data in both 2017 and 2018. The 138-page ruling, which dates back to October 2018, was only unsealed 12 months later in October 2019. It offers a rare look at how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been abusing the constitutional privacy rights of U.S. citizens with alarming regularity. The court ruling is also a stinging rebuke to the FBI’s overreach of its ability to search surveillance intelligence databases. https://www.cpomagazine.com/data-privacy/fisa-court-ruled-that-fbi-improperly-used-nsa-surveillance-data-to-snoop-on-americans/
Oh cool, Q is here
Are you trying to discredit this information? Just because the mainstream media didn’t report on it does that mean it’s not true? I mean what are you even trying to get at?
The post above mine is some alt-right conspiracy nonsense.
So much discretion is given, so many established protections are circumvented in the name of exigency, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Rights to privacy are violated casually, frivolously, and without substantiating ANY need except based on an officer’s or agency’s mere BELIEF, arbitrary classification of the suspect, or other unchecked and unregulated “need” such as “in the name of national security”. Unverified anonymous tips can be called in to make a report so that there is a trail supporting an investigation that is otherwise a wild goose chase or a hunch, at best. Targeting, at worst. Who holds agencies like the FBI accountable for such gross overreach? Where are the fines? Where are the firings? Who is being prosecuted?
Bill Barr is on the case, hopefully something comes of it soon
Good to hear I’ll look for that name. I wish it was Bill Burr.
Not that I agree with this, but is anyone actually surprised that NSA tools are being abused for law enforcement purposes? I’m not.
Whether you’re surprised your not best to channel that energy to demanding reform, the worst thing you could do just become complacent
Now’s the time to rise up, now maybe the last chance
Yawn
Right it’s a huge yawn when there’s actual corruption but you’ll get out rage the next time Trump sneezes. You’re being used
I wonder why the mainstream media didn’t cover this bombshell news this week? Over 3 million illegal searches made by the FBI against American citizens. https://gellerreport.com/2019/10/fbi-employees-conducted-3-1-million-questionable-and-illegal-searches-including-searches-on-us-citizens-in-2017-2018.html/ This is what actual corruption looks like, this is the reason all these deep state actors are in such a panic mode to take out Trump. This is just the tip of the iceberg of their crimes are going to be exposed over the next year.
Because they covered it last week? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/08/us/politics/fbi-fisa-court.html
Oh shit. Pam Geller? The paper of record for Nazi terrorists🤮 So the same people who use Islamophobia to push vastly expanding US spy capabilities are now worried that the US spy capabilities are too vast?
