Remember "trust, but verify"?
Well, I don't trust these agencies. Worse, I have no way to verify that they are doing what they claim and that they are not doing things that they aren't claiming. We need to fix a lot more than just "issuing blanket warrants". We need to fix other things before we can even attempt to fix that.
- ctdonath 13y agoWe need to fix a lot more than just "issuing blanket warrants". Thing is, "issuing blanket warrants" is flatly illegal. In particular, "no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." A warrant to the effect of "drift-net fishing expedition" is not acceptable.
- jlgreco 13y agoOf course it is flatly illegal. The problem is that we are not in a position to verify a fix. We would have to take their word that the problem has been fixed, but obviously they cannot be trusted.
