Government Officials Can't Stop Spying on Their Crushes http://gizmodo.com/government-officials-cant-stop-spying-on-their-crushes-1789490933
On Monday, a top prosecutor in the Brooklyn district attorney's office was arrested amid allegations that she used an illegal wiretap to eavesdrop on a coworker and an NYPD detective. But in a twist worthy of a Mary Higgins Clark novel, the New York Times reports that the incident was part of a "love triangle gone wrong," and an anonymous law enforcement official said that prosecutor Tara Lenich carried out the wiretap because of "a personal entanglement between her and the detective." The Times also says that the scenario The New York Daily News reports that the two "worked closely [together] on a high-profile gun trafficking case." To carry out the nefarious scheme, Lenich allegedly forged the signatures of several judges in order to obtain wiretap orders. Most wiretaps only last about a month before they need a renewal, but Lenich was able to keep up the ruse for about a year due to the forgery, law enforcement officials said. - - - --Lauren-- CRUSHING the Internet Liars: https://vortex.com/crush-net-liars STOP President Trump: https://vortex.com/stop-president-trump - - - Lauren Weinstein (lau...@vortex.com): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. - - - The correct term is "Internet" NOT "internet" -- please don't fall into the trap of using the latter.
