Course, what that bullshit means is that the propaganda gets even more brazen. The DEA (or any other govt mafia) will keep doing whatever they want AND now they will pretend they are not spying and point to the 'law' that 'bans' them from spying as 'proof' that they are not spying. Orwell would be proud.
4:06:04 P.M. H.R. 2578 An amendment, offered by Mr. Lamborn, to prohibit the use of funds to collect information about individuals attending gun shows, by means of an automatic license plate reader, or to retain any information so collected. . . Mr. Farr raised a point of order against the Lamborn amendment... Sam Farr fuckery again. This putz claims to have voted against the Iraq war but introduced a bill in the house that essentially militarized California's construction industry to make it easier for his pimps to get lucrative pentagon 'pave it over after we blow it up' construction contracts.
