A New Brunswick, N.J. 911 audiotape reveals the manner through which one of the NYPD’s illegal out of town surveillance operations was uncovered, as the superintendent of an apartment complex called to report an inspection revealed a “suspicious” dwelling which turned out to be a police safehouse.
The complex was just off the campus of Rutgers University and the apartment in question was decidedly suspicious: no furniture, full of terrorist literature and surveillance equipment. The caller thought he had uncovered a terrorist hideout.
Turns out it was one of several “safehouses” at which NYPD spies run schemes to spy on “political organizers” and built databases of Muslims living in areas near New York City. The call led to a raid by New Brunswick police and later the FBI, which seized the gear.
The NYPD was eventually forced to cop to it, and asked the FBI to return their equipment. They had been pressuring the New Brunswick police not to allow the 911 audiotape to be released to the media.
The NYPD has defended the surveillance as “legal,” saying that the police weren’t “acting as police” when they were spying on Muslims outside of the city, and that therefore anything they did was legal. Mayor Bloomberg insisted the NYPD has a right to go “anywhere in the country” looking for terrorists.
"The caller thought he had uncovered a terrorist hideout."
Well, he certainly did!
'Mayor Bloomberg insisted the NYPD has a right to go “anywhere in the country” looking for terrorists.'
They only need look in the mirror and that goes for Bloombum but he is too busy outlawing Big Gulps.
NYPD (and Bloomberg) can go anywhere in the country- even in his limousine- but not to violate someone's rights (which apparently was their intent).
Brains of the ruling elite — Root cause of all terrorism
The more power one has over people, the more deadly force do they need to survive.
So, Bloomberg, he requires all the legalized killers under his authority to strap a killing machine to their body, which puts a god-ego in their brain, which forces Bloomberg to give them the freedom to kill anyone suspicious as it is the only way possible to control such an ego most ungodly.
There's a movie here somewhere. Keystone cops Mark II?

Somebody needs to stop this maniac…isn't there anyone in NYC that thinks this is "1938 all over again"?
His next campaign slogan should be "I, Bloomberg…King of the World"
OK, from now on, it's not "Going Postal", it's "Going Bloomberg"
Is Bloomberg nuts?
