I'm not intimately familiar, but I have trouble believing that something like a federal warrant wouldn't be able to grant access. Even without a warrant, I can almost guarantee you that anything related to a terror investigation opens the floodgates.
Problem is they aren't supposed to have those records, so even a warrant shouldn't matter, they shouldn't have that information. The FFL keeps those but they are private citizens.
There's not a chance in hell that NICS doesn't keep records of what is going through it. Otherwise there's no point in having it because they can't prove it's doing the background checks.
NICS isn't supposed to keep track of exactly what youre buying, just whether or not you're allowed to buy
NICS doesn't have to. The FBI already has the who, the when and the where. The what is just a warrant (or more likely some Patriot Act nonsense that doesn't require a warrant) away.
By law they shouldn't.
NICS might keep track of what's going through it, but in states like South Carolina, if you have a concealed carry permit, no NICS background check is run when you buy a firearm from a dealer. You still have to fill out a form 4473, but those forms aren't automatically sent to any government agency, the dealer just has to keep them as long as they're in business. If they retire or go out of business, at which point they're supposed to be sent to the ATF. You also may get audited but the ATF up to once per year, but I think the average is every 5 years around here. I know some FFL's that haven't been audited in almost a decade. Hell, one guy that runs an 01 out of his house met his ATF agent once, years ago when he first got his FFL and hasn't see or heard from them since.
Why wouldn't they have access to system they run during an investigation? I'm not saying I think they should, but there's no fucking way they don't.
Its federal law.
NSA is a Title 50 organization, doing anything against American citizens without a warrant is illegal. Have they done it in the past, (cough Snowden, cough), who knows???
Only thing I can think of is that it is a screen capture of it when being forwarded
Unfortunately private companies complicate the matter.
I assumed the redactions were done by the person who posted it unless I'm thinking of the wrong email.
the cybertruck guy’s email to shoemate.
Forwarded to who? Shoemate is supposedly showing an email sent to him.
Dunno who forwarded to, you can see in the header it says forwarded so it was at least forwarded once. Edit does kick in on the body of the email when forwarded. Like beard said might be editing for the redaction.
I was asking because The army intel guy MacBeth used the email being in edit mode as proof it was a fake.Dunno who forwarded to, you can see in the header it says forwarded so it was at least forwarded once. Edit does kick in on the body of the email when forwarded. Like beard said might be editing for the redaction.
That's the one I'm thinking of. I'm assuming that shoeface just edited out the people's names and took a screenshot.
It's not complicated. People are too stupid to care that they agree to be spied on by corporations who then go sell that information to anyone with the money. If people stopped using those products the corporations would stop.
The corporations happily feed the government. We know this.
