fucking cops are out of control

Include the prosecutors and the FBI too.

and that includes judges also!!

to withhold this information from the defense then the judges should be removed from office, disbarred and prosecuted.

Have these people never heard of shredders? Did they learn nothing from Watergate? Oh, wait.

Whoever is responsible in that States Attys office just ruined their own career, to say nothing of the fact that if the FBI decide he needs to be sued/prosecuted for violating the terms of the non-disclosure agreement, he's all kinds of Fucked. And why?

Because police-state tactics, from the feds on down.

I hope every one of those cases does indeed get thrown out, but something tells me this will go all the way up the judicial chain, and land in front of the Supreme Court.
Watch this space.

There is no loyalty to justice and no loyalty to the people. Greed and ambition are their only motivation. Our justice system and our society are SICK.

2000 cases in one city...imagine how many will be affected nationwide

i would guess a high percentage of these illegally convicted people are POC so were are BLM supporters on this article?

or is this something not to be mentioned because potus has been in charge of the fbi for the last 7 years?

A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans.

Although these cases rarely involve national security issues, documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin - not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges.

The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to "recreate" the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant's Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don't know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence - information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses.

And I'd bet this is happening in other jurisdictions. Interesting to note that this piece of investigatory journalism was done by a British newspaper. Good that the Justice Department has recently instituted a policy that agencies under its aegis must now obtain a specific warrant to use these things, but what is Justice doing regarding police departments and other law enforcement agencies?

Disturbing shit.
