FBI's Hacks Don't Comply With Legal Safeguards
An anonymous reader writes: The FBI hacks computers. Specifics are scarce, and only a trickle of news has emerged from court filings and FOIA responses. But we know it happens. In a new law review article, a Stanford Ph.D. candidate and privacy expert pulls together what's been disclosed, and then matches it against established law. The results sure aren't pretty. FBI agents deceive judges, ignore time limits, don't tell computer owners after they've been hacked, and don't get 'super-warrants' for webcam snooping. Whatever you think of law enforcement hacking, it probably shouldn't be this lawless.
This is the same FBI who massacred innocent children at Waco. Why should they care? We did nothing about it then, we'll do nothing about it now because the American public doesn't care about anyone or anything as long as they get their cheap imported goods and television entertainment. We've become a fucking disgusting joke of a culture. If ever there was a time to kill your television, it is now. If ever there was a time to burn down the establishment, it's now, because it will only get worse from here on..
"Parallel Construction" they call that.
