The AAS has a blurb about a private investigator honored for finding a wiretap under a client's house that sent her ex-boyfriend that put it there to jail for five years.
It's just semantics, really. For an ex-boyfriend to plant a wiretap under an ex-girlfriend's house is illegal and gets a man five years in prison. For a president to plant wiretaps coast-to-coast without probable cause is called 'Homeland Security.'
Violation of your rights as guaranteed by the laws of our land and foundation of our entire system of government kind of piss me off. I guess, like the rest of the non-voting, do-nothing, celebrity obsessed nation I should just sit back and not give a shit. Quick, somebody get me one of those little flags for my yard and a bumper sticker that says, "These colors don't run." Then when I begin to have these doubts about how the current administration is eroding my rights I can wave a flag in a lock-step march of the braindead zombies.
Private investigator honored
An Austin private investigator has been recognized by the 600-member Texas Association of Licensed Investigators for starting an investigation that landed an Austin man in prison for five years for putting a telephone tap under his ex-girlfriend's house.
The association announced in a news release that Louis Akin was awarded the group's Meritorious Service Award for Investigative Excellence for his work on behalf of Roxanne Rouse, who hired him last year when she suspected her ex-boyfriend Charles Myers was stalking her.
Akin found the phone tap under Rouse's house and called police, who later caught Myers sneaking under the house to change the tape on a recording device.
A Travis County jury later convicted Myers of burglary and wiretapping and sentenced him after hearing from three other women who told tales of his harassment over two decades.
Ass-kissing apologist.
Ever met an authority figure who didn't make you cream your pants?
I guess really the only authority figure that made me cream was your mom.
Now go hide under your bed because I think there's a Gman looking in your window.

Gee a guy stalking his ex-girlfriend by wiretap and our govt. using wiretaps to root out terrorism, yes, that's a realistic comparison.
Do you really believe that our govt. is arbitrarily planting wiretaps "coast to coast" without probable cause on avg citizens so they can eavesdrop on their incredibly boring lives or do you think that maybe, juuuuuuust maybe they are using wiretaps to root out potential terrorists. I'm sure the FBI, CIA, whoever totally has nothing better to do than spy on people that aren't suspicious. Get real.
By the way, even without the Patriot Act or Homeland security the govenment is likely to watch and wire tap people that they deem as a threat AND have been forever.
