The second he tells you he is in AQ, that tells you VOLUMES about the kind of person he is. At that point, you have to make a personal decision as to whether you want to continue to spend time with that person or not. > > As to probable cause - my association with the person shouldn't be > enough for a warrant.

I mean, if the gov. sees you meet with this AQ guy, they should then have to go back to a judge and get the necessary warrant. If both the gov. AND a judge decide that there is enough probable cause to start keeping an eye on you....then that's how the system is supposed to work and you can expect surveillance, and i've got no problem with it. > > And even then they should only get permission to, say, my phones to > see if I'm really involved or just a friend. I think the warrant has to explicitly spell out what they can and cannot do, and exactly what they are looking for, etc. So the warrant solves this concern. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:189486 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
