Brickbat: Who Has Time for Paperwork?

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security inspector general's report has found the Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement repeatedly failed to get required warrants before conducting cellphone surveillance. The agencies are supposed to get warrants to deploy "stingray" cellphone trackers, which have the ability to not only track a suspect's cellphone but every other cellphone in their range.

repeatedly failed to get required warrants

If they 'repeatedly failed' to get them, then they're not required are they? Is anybody going to be disciplined in any way whatsoever over this? No? Then they're even less than required. 'Suggested' seems to be the word your'e looking for here.

Warrant's ? We don't need no stinking warrants !!

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security inspector general has made the country less safe by putting the Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in jail!

was wondering what of the next sentence ...

I'm not convinced that would make the country less safe.

Hey, if you "don't have anything to hide," what's the problem, right?
We want our valiant officers of the law to be able to catch the bad guys, don't we? Now let's all agree to make some "reasonable and common sense" concessions, at the behest of those we trust!

[Was it something I said?]

This is my shocked face…no, let me try that again…nope…

[ducksalad]

Look for silver lining here……could it be they’re skipping the warrant requirement because somewhere, someplace, there’s a federal judge that sometimes says “no, that’s not probable cause” or “no, that’s not reasonable”?

If so, major progress.

[markm23]

They're skipping the warrant requirement because (take your pick):

1) They're so tired of doing paperwork.

2) Or, they don't want to create a paper trail for the next investigation into their screwups.

[Wizard4169]

That's possibly the saddest part. Too many judges are happy to rubber stamp any warrant application that comes in front of them, and yet let enforcement can't even be bothered to get that rubber stamp.

police. state.

Remember when Trump said his phones were being tapped and we all had a good laugh because nobody taps into copper phone lines any more? Good times.
