You cannot arrest the U.S. government for felonies.
- tlrobinson 13y agoHuh? Surely if they started killing innocent people you could arrest them. The question is what gives them the authority to use these tactics? Wiretapping laws?
- baddox 13y agoThey started killing innocent people very early in the government's history and have yet to stop.
- tlrobinson 13y agoSigh, I should have expected this response. You know what I mean.
- baddox 13y agoWhite innocent people?
- Tloewald 13y agoBut you can arrest individuals who, using their office, engage in felonies. If this is organizational, i believe we could use RICO.
- unreal37 13y agoOnly if it's unsanctioned. Like Watergate. But if the government as an official approved sanctioned policy directs an employee to do an action (like, hack into Facebook's servers), good luck trying to get that employee arrested. The government may be doing illegal acts, but no one can be arrested over those since they are sanctioned by the two law making branches of government (executive and congress).
