US spying guidelines
Article By:
Sat, 16 Aug 2008 09:04
The administration of President George W. Bush has drafted a set of
guidelines for state and local police agencies that would make it
easier to collect intelligence on ordinary citizens, The Washington
Post reported Saturday.
The newspaper said the proposal, prepared by the US Justice
Department, allows law enforcement agencies to launch a criminal
intelligence investigation based on the suspicion that a person or a
group is engaged in terrorism or providing material support to
terrorists.
According to the report, local police would share results of their
investigations with the federal government.
Under the proposal, intelligence information could be obtained from
public records, the Internet, law enforcement databases and
confidential and undercover sources.
The rules would apply to the nation's 18 000 state and local police
agencies that would receive about $1.6-billion a year to help cover
the costs of their implementation.
