FBI really doesn’t want anyone to know about “stingray” use by local cops
- diafygi 12y agoRelevant letter section: In the event that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension receives a request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 552) or an equivalent state or local law, the civil or criminal discovery process, or other judicial, legislative, or administrative process, to disclose information concerning the Harris Corporation [REDACTED] the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will immediately notify the FBI of any such request telephonically and in writing in order to allow sufficient time for the FBI to seek to prevent disclosure through appropriate channels. This is a written policy that FOIA requests should by default be resisted. This combined with the change from a mission of "law enforcement" to "national security"[1] signifies a huge shift in the FBI away from a rule-of-law culture to a rule-of-man culture.
