US Marshals Seize Police Stingray Records To Keep Them From the ACLU
An anonymous reader writes 'A routine request in Florida for public records regarding the use of a surveillance tool known as stingray took an extraordinary turn recently when federal authorities seized the documents before police could release them. "This is consistent with what we've seen around the country with federal agencies trying to meddle with public requests for stingray information," Wessler said, noting that federal authorities have in other cases invoked the Homeland Security Act to prevent the release of such records. "The feds are working very hard to block any release of this information to the public." ... "We've seen our fair share of federal government attempts to keep records about stingrays secret, but we've never seen an actual physical raid on state records in order to conceal them from public view," the ACLU wrote in a blog post today.'
No, I just despise them for deciding that "rights" are individual EXCEPT for the Second Amendment.....
"I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
That's bullshit, read the Federalist Papers, the second amendment has never meant what you seem to think that it means. It's a collective right to bear arms that's contingent upon being a member of a well regulated militia.
It's not the right of every small dick out there to have a piece for compensating for the lack of man sized genitals.
The ACLU fails to support your wacked out version of the 2nd amendment purely because your version does not match with the historical interpretation nor with the framers intent. Not to mention with what the actual text says.
