Our way was funnier....

BTW, I'm on top AND under Brooke.
talk about hijacked threads....
NSL have been around since th patriot act...yes they have been abused, FBI agents have used them to check on neighbors, ex's. what ever.

they are not designed for local LE to get a bead on you, or listen to your voice mail.
if you have some evidence that they are being used on the local LE, go ahead and post it.

returning to your normal hijacked thread....

They will start using this method to get access to phone records including voicemails, records, messages. No need for them to ask the phone companies since is very easy to get the voicemails outta everyone mobile phone. Message me for a proof from one of the providers in Houston.

LEhaxOr: I do not disbelieve you, and I do not challenge you; yet there is language in this FAQ that says it must be a national security investigation. Are the local LE and the feds playing fast-and-loose with a serious anti-terrist tool? Originally Posted by ICU 812
It also specifically states they can get the transactional records of electronic communications, but NOT the content. In other words, they can see who you talked to, but not what you said.

The last time I saw parrot fish was when I went scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico. I didn't know they were being kept in private aquariums. Nice fish!

As for LE, they will use any means to stamp out lawlessness...sometimes it could be a good thing...I just wish violent crime were eradicated.

Gee.... since I actually read the post on fbi.gov, I noticed these (quotes)

What is a National Security Letter?
A National Security Letter (NSL) is a letter request for information from a third party that is issued by the FBI or by other government agencies with authority to conduct national security investigations.

NSLs, however, are subject to two significant limitations. First, they are only available for authorized national security investigations (international terrorism or foreign intelligence/counterintelligence investigations), not general criminal investigations or domestic terrorism investigations. Second, unlike administrative subpoenas and grand jury subpoenas, NSLs can only be used to seek certain transactional information permitted under the five NSL provisions, and NSLs cannot be used to acquire the content of any communications.

I did not anywhere see where the City of Houston or the State of Texas was listed as having any authority in this instance.
