FBI Finally Admits to Buying Location Data on Americans

March 12th, 2023

As disturbing as this Ars Technica piece is, the actual situation might as well be infinitely worse. In 2013, we learned that law enforcement was “laundering” data collected through U.S. national security intercept systems for use against Americans, U.S. Communications Intelligence Secretly Shared with Law Enforcement for Use Against Americans in Criminal Investigations:

β€œIt’s just like laundering money – you work it backwards to make it clean,” said Finn Selander, a DEA agent from 1991 to 2008 and now a member of a group called Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, which advocates legalizing and regulating narcotics.

So, when the article below states that, “Americans are protected against unreasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment,” know that the cops have been “laundering” evidence collected from the black world for use against Americans for decades.

That is as bad as any corrupt shithole state, Russia, China or anywhere even worse.

Via: Ars Technica:

Americans are protected against unreasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment, and the Supreme Court has said that government agencies accessing location data without a warrant can be considered in violation of Fourth Amendment rights. But privacy advocates like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have continually found evidence that federal agencies, including the FBI, have relied on a legal loophole to continue purchasing location data that agencies otherwise may not legally be able to access.
