The Heavily Redacted World of the FBI's Tracking Technology Unit (muckrock.com)

v3rgEz writes: If you search the FBI website for details the Tracking Technology Unit, nothing shows up: They have no official home page, their leadership is not mentioned, and the few public mentions of the group seem to be at court appearances where members explain that information they gather cannot be released publicly. But a recent FOIA request for information on the FBI's shuttered warrantless GPS tracking program shed a little more light on this secretive unit, whose motto is "Factum Non Verba": Deeds, not Words.

Better motto

How about "Mendacium non veritum"... "Lies, not truth".

Fuck these Constitution-ignoring traitors

Very little of what the government does should be secret, all of that should be confined to foreign intelligence operations, and no domestic law enforcement agency should be operating in the shadows. You took an oath, you traitorous pieces of shit.

What proof do you have that they aren't getting warrants for their tracking activities? It is quite an assumption that you are making that they somehow are ignoring the constitution; which is something the FBI is forbidden from doing.

Since the tracking has been in court cases, and none of the court cases were thrown out for illegal data gathering methods, more likely you are the one who doesn't know what they are talking about here.

Where are the courts to protect us? See below..

"I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it."

US judge and judicial philosopher Learned Hand (1872-1961).
