FBI Responds To ACLU GPS Tracking Complaint

Posted by samzenpus on from the for-your-eyes-only dept.

Nerdolicious writes "Ars Technica reports that the ACLU has received a response from the FBI after a formal legal complaint was filed to release documents related to warrantless GPS tracking data. But, as you can see from the two memos the ACLU posted to its website, they have unsurprisingly been redacted to uselessness, consisting almost entirely of large black blocks covering full pages."

    Do you have any actual "journalists" at geekwire? Redactions, advertorials - you kiddies act like you just found out how reporting and journalism works in the last 12 hours. Take a news reporting class at your local community college - you'll learn a thing or two that the hippies knew all about regarding the FOIA in the 70's. Or read a stinking "Reporting for Dummies" book.

    "We're sorry Mr L4t3r4lu5, but it appears that you are on so many lists, you are not allowed to leave the country. Except via special government transport to Guantanamo Bay."

    Or were you speaking as someone from another country?
