Abailiff pushed Jabar Ali Refaie’s wheelchair into a federal courtroom in Tampa, Florida, on September 20. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit and looking weak from not having had the drugs he takes to treat his multiple sclerosis, the 37-year-old Refaie was here for a bond hearing after being indicted on felony charges that allege he sold counterfeit BMW logos and diagnostic software on eBay.
Refaie’s case seemed by appearances to be about a lot more than selling shady car parts on the internet. That much was obvious from Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlton C. Gammons’s stiff bond requests — $25,000, a GPS monitoring device, the surrender of his passport, and the removal of all firearms from his residence — as well as the six U.S. Homeland Security agents who packed into the courtroom for Refaie’s hearing.
Refaie’s 30-year-old girlfriend, Felicity, was present in the courtroom. She and Refaie had been married before; after their divorce, when Refaie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, they rekindled their relationship and live together again but never remarried. Felicity told U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas McCoun III that Refaie wasn’t a flight risk. They have 4-month-old daughter together, she said. The government knows all about their lives. “The government has been monitoring us for the better part of two years,” she told the judge matter-of-factly. McCoun agreed with the suggested conditions from the U.S. attorney’s office, and Refaie was released from jail that evening after posting bond. Prior to this charge, Refaie had no criminal history.
For two years, the FBI has followed and harassed Refaie as part of an apparent effort to recruit him to become an informant or cooperate in some way with counterterrorism investigations. The FBI has more than 15,000 informants today, many working because they have been coerced or threatened by criminal prosecution or immigration enforcement. Classified FBI policy documents published by The Intercept in January revealed the often heavy-handed methods used by the government to recruit informants, including so-called threat assessments as “a means to induce him/her into becoming a recruited [informant] mainly through identifying that person’s motivations and vulnerabilities.” What’s unique about Refaie’s interactions with the FBI is that he recorded and documented the conversations and events that led to his indictment. The FBI did not respond to a request for comment or a list of questions about Refaie’s case.
“I don’t believe they are representatives of the government; they’re misusing the government with their badges,” Refaie said of the federal agents he’s come to know. “They’re breaking oaths that they swore to uphold.”
Federal agents raided Jabar Ali Refaie’s home in Riverview, Florida, on September 6, 2016. Security cameras on the outside and inside of the home recorded the agents’ actions. Video: Jabar Ali Refaie
Refaie’s story begins in September 2015, when agents claiming to be from Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up unannounced at the offices of a web hosting company where Refaie oversaw data center operations. A Muslim U.S. citizen whose mother was Jewish-American and father a Jordanian citizen, Refaie brought the agents to a conference room, where they told him he might be a victim of identity theft and then showed him a mugshot of an Arab man.“I was staring at the picture, and I said, ‘I know a lot of people who look like him. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen this guy,’” Refaie told the agents. As the months passed, Refaie began to grow suspicious. He saw cars that he suspected were following him. A camera appeared to be mounted on the light pole near his house, so he took pictures of it. On August 17, 2016, he found a GPS device on his girlfriend’s Toyota Camry and filmed himself removing it. A week later, he found another GPS device on his BMW. He also found electrical outlets in his house that he says were replaced with ones that looked identical but seemed to have listening equipment on the inside. He took pictures of those too.
He called the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to document what he’d found. A police report written on September 1, 2016, described how Refaie “provided us with a wrapped-up towel containing several electrical outlet plugs and a device that appeared to be a GPS.” In another report from that day, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Detective John McDarby wrote: “Mr. Refaie is not aware if he is being followed by a law enforcement agency or a private corporation. He is in fear.”
Less than a week later, Refaie had the answer to the question of who was following him. Agents with the Department of Homeland Security came to his office. They were at that moment executing a search warrant at his home, they told him. “I’ll see you at the house,” he told the agents.
Security cameras inside and outside of Refaie’s house in Riverview, Florida, south of Tampa, recorded the raid. At 12:27 p.m. on September 6, 2016, a black Homeland Security armored vehicle and a large blue van parked on the cul-de-sac in front of Refaie’s driveway. Wearing body armor and carrying a large shield, agents broke down the front door. An inside camera recorded two of Refaie’s six cats scurrying for safety as the front door flew open. The agents then walked slowly back down the driveway, their movements captured by an outside camera.
At 12:29 p.m., Felicity, who was pregnant at the time, walked downstairs from her bedroom and saw the front door busted open. She was then instructed to walk backward to the middle of the driveway, lift her shirt above her waistline, and turn around in a circle. She then was ordered to get on her knees and crawl backward to the end of the driveway, where she was detained by two agents. About 15 minutes later, the agents sent a bomb robot into the house; it went around the first floor and then struggled to get up the stairs, all while being recorded by the inside security cameras. Agents, guns pointed forward, finally entered the house using tactical formation at 1:54 p.m. A few minutes later, one of the agents noticed a security camera mounted high on the wall by the stairs. He grabbed a piece of the door’s trim molding that they’d busted off and used it as a makeshift club to strike the camera.
The search warrant, which a magistrate judge signed based on alleged government evidence that Refaie was selling counterfeit car parts on eBay, suggested that federal agents were particularly interested in Refaie’s computer activity and provided authority to collect all computer equipment and storage media.
As federal agents searched Refaie’s home, he was desperately trying to get there. Thinking that agents might have blocked off the main entrance to his neighborhood, Refaie took a back way to his house. As he did, a 2013 Dodge Caravan crashed into the side of his car. He said he got out to check on the driver, fearing he’d just been in an accident with a neighborhood soccer mom. An FBI agent knocked him to the ground, he said. Later, Refaie discovered that the minivan was registered to the FBI and was driven by FBI Special Agent Candace C. Calderon. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office faulted Refaie for the accident, based on the eyewitness account of another FBI agent, according to a traffic crash report, which identified the FBI as the owner of the van. (The traffic charge against Refaie was later dismissed after he went to court to fight it and the FBI agents did not show up to testify.) Refaie said the federal agents left his house at about 9 p.m. that evening. According to a receipt of what was seized, agents took much of Refaie’s electronics and even Felicity’s designer purses.
Jabar Ali Refaie met with FBI Special Agents Moises Quiñones and Retzilu Rodriguez outside a Wawa gas station on March 16. He recorded their meeting with the agents’ consent. Video: Jabar Ali Refaie
Months passed, and Refaie was not arrested. The government returned some of his belongings, including the purses. Refaie said that Homeland Security agents suggested he could improve his situation if he’d work with them as an informant — something he wasn’t willing to do.Then, in January, Refaie received a call from FBI Special Agent Moises Quiñones, who told Refaie that Homeland Security agents had found some ISIS videos on a USB flash drive, and now he was the subject of an FBI counterterrorism inquiry. Refaie said Quiñones also told him that the FBI was in possession of the GPS device and electrical outlets that he had given the local sheriff’s office. Quiñones sent out agents to interview Refaie’s friends and family. Agents asked these people if Refaie was known to have any connections with ISIS.
In a subsequent call, Refaie told Quiñones that he would be recording their conversations. “With me, if you want to record our conversation, I don’t have a problem with it,” Quiñones replied. In the phone conversations, Quiñones assured Refaie that he hadn’t committed a crime, but they needed to meet in person to discuss the ISIS videos. “We cannot waste time. We have a job to do,” Quiñones said.
Refaie agreed to meet with Quiñones in a public place, and he told him in advance that their conversation would be recorded. On March 16, Refaie met with Quiñones at a table outside a Wawa gas station. Another FBI agent, Retzilu Rodriguez, accompanied Quiñones.
“The reason I called you is I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt,” Quiñones told Refaie.
“The benefit of the doubt for what?” Refaie asked.
“To what I’m going to ask you about right now,” Quiñones answered.
Quiñones told Refaie that the Homeland Security search of his home had uncovered ISIS materials. “They’re videos about recruitment, ISIS recruitment,” he told Refaie. “Propaganda videos.”
“I don’t believe that,” Refaie said.
“No, they are,” Quiñones followed.
Quiñones asked Refaie if he knew Neil Prakash, an Australian ISIS member who was arrested in Turkey in November 2016. After Refaie said he didn’t know who that was, Quiñones told him that a video of Prakash was among those they’d found.
“I’m not aware of that,” Refaie said.
“I’m fully aware of that,” Quiñones retorted.
“But anyway, it’s not something illegal if it’s —” Refaie said, shaking his head.
“I’m not saying it’s illegal,” Quiñones said, interrupting. “But it’s very concerning.”
The FBI agent also told Refaie that they’d found a video of Moner Mohammad Abusalha, a Florida man who went by Abu Huraira al-Amriki and had died in a suicide attack in Syria. These videos are “red flags,” Quiñones told him. Quiñones said during the meeting that Abusalha fought for ISIS; in fact, he was with the Nusra Front.
“These things were on YouTube, my friend, OK?” Refaie said. “So don’t tell me I have them.”
“You had ’em on a thumb drive,” Quiñones said.
“Show me. Show me the evidence. Where’s your evidence?”
“Let’s go to the office, and I’ll show it to you.”
“Fuck you and your office.”
The conversation continued this way, until Quiñones seemed to threaten prosecution if Refaie did not cooperate with their investigation. “It’s not a threat. I’m just going say this. I know Mr. Joe Durand, OK?” Quiñones said, referring to the Homeland Security Investigations agent who led the raid of Refaie’s home. “And just in case you didn’t know, he has a very good case on you.”
“Oh, really, for counterfeit car parts?” Refaie asked, laughing.
“Again, you can laugh all you want. But you know what? He has a good case on you. He just wanted me to convey that to you.”
Quiñones also told Refaie that he was present for the search of his home, which would suggest that the FBI’s counterterrorism interests in Refaie began before the agents had found the purported videos.
“Why were you at my house?” Refaie demanded to know.
“Because sometimes we work together,” Quiñones said.
“Why would the Joint Terrorism Task Force work together with Homeland Security in order to raid my house for counterfeit car parts?” Refaie asked incredulously.
Toward the end of the interview, Refaie grew frustrated. “Listen, I intend to waste your time, your resources, OK, and your people, if they continue to harass me over and over and over again, because you’re going to come up with cero, zilch,” Refaie told the agent. He then ended his statement with the Arabic word for zero.
“Probably because you stopped what you were doing,” Quiñones told him.
Jabar Ali Refaie began to confront cars he suspected were following him, including the driver of this Ford Fusion on April 25. With the driver cornered, Refaie whistled to get a security guard’s attention. Video: Jabar Ali Refaie
In the weeks that followed this meeting, Refaie said he witnessed increased surveillance. He began to confront the people who were following him and recording his encounters with a camera mounted on his BMW’s dashboard.April 25 was particularly intense. He found himself being followed by a Chevy Malibu. At one point, in a shopping mall parking lot with the Malibu directly behind him, Refaie stopped his car in the lane and hopped out to confront the driver. “Who are you?” he demanded. “Open your door. I’ll call the police. I’ll call the police right now. You got a warrant?” The driver, whose car had a large radio antenna mounted on the trunk, just backed up slowly without engaging Refaie and left the parking lot, as Refaie drove behind him honking the horn.
Later that day, while at a county government office, Refaie cornered a Ford Fusion he’d seen following him. As the driver attempted to back out, Refaie walked in front of the car. Blocked in by a curb and Refaie’s body, the driver stayed put but would not get out of the car or put down the window. Refaie whistled, and a security guard came out to assess the situation. Still, the driver would not exit the vehicle. As the security guard called local police and Refaie went back to his car so it would no longer obstruct traffic in the parking lot, the Ford took a quick turn and left the parking lot. “Did you see this shit?” Refaie can be heard asking the security guard.
When he returned home, a frustrated Refaie called Quiñones to ask him about the surveillance.
“Let’s make a point clear right now,” Quiñones told him. “If you’re calling me to find out what I’m doing, I mean, then I think we’re wasting our time because I’m not going to tell you anything as to what we’re doing. So we’re clear.”
Quiñones then told Refaie that he could make the investigation go away. “Mr. Refaie, you have the way out. I gave you —”
“Oh, you want me to confess to your crimes? You want me to confess to your crimes, your manufactured bullshit?” Refaie answered angrily.
“We’re not talking about any crimes here, Mr. Refaie,” Quiñones said.
Refaie took this to mean he was being asked to cooperate with FBI investigations and possibly serve as an informant. “Moises, that’s called extortion,” Refaie answered.
“You can call it whatever you want.”
“No, it’s called extortion.”
Quiñones again told Refaie that he believed he was communicating with people overseas. “You have the way out, Mr. Refaie,” Quiñones said. “Tell me why. Just tell me why you were in communication with those guys overseas. And you know the ones I’m referring to.”
“I don’t know who you’re referring to,” Refaie said.
“You have the way out,” the agent said again.
By this time, Refaie had already been indicted. He just didn’t know. On April 13, a grand jury charged Refaie under seal with filing a false income tax return, alleging that he did not report his eBay earnings for the 2010 tax year. Over the next five months, as Refaie refused to cooperate with the FBI, federal agents and prosecutors continued to work on his indictment. On September 6, 2017, in another sealed indictment, a grand jury added the charges of wire fraud and dealing in counterfeit goods based on allegations that Refaie was selling fake BMW parts and diagnostic software.

Evidence collected by federal agents from Jabar Ali Refaie’s home included computer storage media and BMW emblems.

Refaie and I had been in contact for a few months, starting well before his arrest. I had initially suspected that he would be like many others who have contacted me with claims of FBI harassment and surveillance. I had assumed his claims, like theirs, would be impossible to prove, but Refaie turned out to be different. By recording his conversations with federal agents and filing local police reports, Refaie had effectively run a one-man counterintelligence program against the FBI.
Refaie and I had agreed to meet one last time in mid-September before I’d write an article about him. Then Hurricane Irma ripped through the Caribbean and up the middle of Florida. We rescheduled our final meeting for September 20.
Two days before our scheduled meeting, around 10 p.m., Refaie sent me a series of long messages on Signal describing the FBI surveillance, and he expressed some concerns that his story, once told, might embolden conspiracy theorists who are being followed not by real agents but by ghosts in their heads. Refaie ended his series of messages with the kicker: “Enjoy. Talk soon!”
I did not respond until nearly 5:30 p.m. the next day. I noticed that a second checkmark, which indicates in Signal that the message has been delivered, had not appeared next to my reply. The next morning, as I was headed to Refaie’s house, I wrote again: “Leaving here soon. Not sure you got my messages from yesterday (Signal shows only one checkmark next to them).” Again, only one checkmark displayed next to that message.
Refaie and his girlfriend feed the outdoor cats in their neighborhood; in the entryway to their two-story, concrete-block house are bowls of food and water. I rang the doorbell, and Felicity answered. She was holding their 4-month-old daughter in her arms. “He was arrested yesterday,” Felicity told me.
At his bond hearing, Refaie gave me a friendly nod. Felicity was there with their daughter in a stroller. “She wants to see you,” Felicity said softly, as she held up the infant and turned her toward Refaie.
Refaie and I met at his home two days later. He said he was suspicious of me after he’d sent me those Signal messages, I hadn’t responded, and then he had been arrested. It was weird, he said. “I think I’m at 70/30 that you’re not working for the FBI,” he told me.
I pressed him: “If you’re only at 70 percent on this, why are you even talking to me?”
He conceded that it was unlikely I was working with the FBI. In turn, I’ll concede that it appears unlikely Rafaie is involved in terrorism. But I don’t know about the allegedly counterfeit car parts. Refaie said he intends to plead not guilty to those charges.

They left a written confession with the word “intel”, and the name of a high official of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as the person who sent them.
My complaints to New York City Mayor, William de Blasio, Police Commissioner William Bratton, and the Civilian Complaint Review Board were ignored.
Lawyers and news organizations such as the New York Times that I contacted ran away at the mere mention of FISA.
Who are the terrorists ?

Or you could look at the Democratic Presidential platform from 117 years ago: “We warn the American people that imperialism abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home.”
In the 1990’s, the CIA-DEA-FBI sliding door used two sets of scales to “fight crime.” One was for “the people” and the other was for “organized/gang crime.” But then, they deliberately blurred the lines in true “Hegelian” fashion.
And so, this “new” form of policing utilized the cross-over between retired/active LEO’s to begin the databases that we see today-the citizen has less than zero chance of surviving these slanderous, and heinous campaigns that use black-ops tactics and methods of leverage and coercion that were developed to fight billionaire’s and armed crime syndicates.
This is commonly called “community policing” but it is really state sponsored domestic terrorism-which state is a good question, as today, Saudi/Chinese/Israeli money is all over this hidden travesty of law.
Here’s how it looked back then as the “good guys” began chasing entire generations ofnew-born kids whose uncles were bikers, Hell’s Angel’s, or common drug users:
https://researchorganizedgangstalking.wordpress.com/2017/10/05/gang-stalking-is-a-way-to-suppress-dissent-and-silence-opposition-to-police-state-policy/
It is a staple of the blogs that discuss it, and many of them are virtual “how to” manuals, and these are themselves “veiled threats” and a tactic of learned helplessness used to coerce those who are “targeted individuals.”
in re: “a 2013 Dodge Caravan crashed into the side of his car. He said he got out to check on the driver, fearing he’d just been in an accident with a neighborhood soccer mom. An FBI agent knocked him to the ground.”
If someone sat down and said ” I think I will do the nearly impossible today” I am certain that documenting the “hidden tactics and techniques of organized stalking” aka HUMINT recruitment would be that exact task-these are so long term, and so debilitating-and they are loaded with learned helplessness tactics straight out of the CIA manual.
And, imagine what kinds of evidence this guy DID NOT collect because he didn’t know where to look?
Journalists can find evidence of this sort of stuff all over the internet, hidden in “plain sight,” in narratives that detail what some call “organized gang stalking.”
Many of those who try to write about it get hacked mercilessly, and then, their blogs get taken over by highly organized troops of informants and disinformation that makes them appear to be crazy.
And, these blogs are all over the internet-but the really good ones, run by PsyOps and the multi-agency task forces and local”mafia’s” within policing disappear as soon as you catch them running an operation.
Others “gang stalking blogs are “invite only” and I bet some of those are written by LEO’s and others affiliated-and they likely contain evidence of state level crimes.
And-a really diligent journalist/researcher would also find links between “mass shooters” being followed and harassed sometimes for years by “mysterious people” and other odd stuff that people just don’t talk about because they would be thought crazy.
As we see in most cases where inconvenient facts leak out (like: why did the ‘security guard’ who was the first to be shot in the Las Vegas shooting walk around for SIX MINUTES with a bullet hole in his leg?), the MSM just runs with heaps of garbage, and then the real story trickles out.
Thanks for the hope today- you made my week!
However, on the other side of the spectrum from “everything is a conspiracy” guy, and just as detrimental, is the “nothing is a conspiracy” person. They believe the six corporations that own 90% of what we read, listen to, or watch, gives a full picture of the issues affecting our society. They also are so naive to think the last 16 years of invading, bombing, droning, etc in 6-7 countries is for “national security”. And of course, the FBI or CIA would never do anything wrong. Nothing can be farther from truth.
So I think it is important that these stories reach as many people as possible. And thank God for Rafaie’s work at exposing these monsters.
I don’t think that the Intercept “censors” posts unless they resort to personal attacks. I would even speculate that we get more uncensored bots in the comments here than on many sites because Greenwald isn’t interested in what he regards as the “hysteria” surrounding Russian interference. In other words, I don’t think we’re being censored.
Or, maybe that one time(just that one) where a SWAT team/task force guy just happens to be there just BEFORE the shooter arrives?
Or-or maybe! that one time-just tat one-where guys like the Tsaernev Brothers and their whole family were driven to hunger for a decade-and slipped in, and out of the country with special passes from their CIA handlers- then “wow, who knew “those people” would do something “like that?””
Man- we need to keep you conspiracy realists OFF THE INTERNET!
(a) A camera appeared to be mounted on the light pole near his house
(b) a GPS device on his girlfriend’s Toyota Camry
(c) a GPS device on his BMW (not sure if it’s the same model)
(d) electrical outlets that seemed to have listening equipment on the inside.
There is a lot here I don’t understand and can’t make sense out of, but what I know is that I really would love to see Refaie free-license and upload these pictures he took to Wikimedia Commons so that Wikipedia editors and everyone else can use them to illustrate articles about the devices.
(Note that while it would be appreciated if someone can tell me if they’re on the web now, Wikipedia doesn’t generally accept images you find on the web as proper uploads unless they are explicitly CC_BY licensed or else you contact the photographer and get him to vouch for their permissions anyway)
If the Conservative justices allowed plaintiffs to go after government officials, even decades later, it would create a deterrent against crimes against The Constitution perpetrated by government employees and contractors.
The U.S. Supreme Court is not subordinate to the Executive Branch but a co-equal branch, with the oath-sworn duty to check & balance bureaucrats that are disloyal to their oath of office.
And the crooked judge and the horse he rode in on, also.
This is so disgusting.
Mr Refaie is incredibly smart and brave.
How can we help?
I will not be discussing the charges at hand but you can draw conclusions.
First I would like to say that I understand first impressions count. What you see here is not a good snapshot of who I am. It is a snapshot of a person that needed to extract information from “Special” Agents. As the story unfolds I assure you that people will begin to paint a nice picture.
When initially approached, I offered my assistance many times. One condition is that “I will not violate any Americans’ Civil Liberties.” I made this clear from the beginning! Terrorism by any hand affects all of humanity and there are no better people to fight it right now than Americans who happen to be Muslim.
What you see/read here is one tiny sprinkle on the cupcake. Stay tuned. You will not be disappointed.
I never asked for any of this. They came to me. Until then, my life consisted of trying to work, raise a family and save for a chemo/stem cell transplant to battle this destructive disease. During the raid they actually stole my medications. Prior to the raid they broke in, stole rifle magazines and ammunition, planted bugs wire taps in the home. I found they actually modified 3 of our rifles. I documented everything and I waited for the botched home invasion to take place. Who breaks into a residence, steals nothing and modifies firearms? Someone who’s coming back to do a job, a job in which you have no defense. Do the math. At the time, we were expecting our first child and these extremely stressful events led to a miscarriage. And looking back at the raid, I have the feeling that once again, they were trying to cause another miscarriage.
At first I had no confirmation that this was government related…at least not my government. I’m a non-violent person and I have no criminal history. Surely the government knows this, which is why I was propositioned to begin with. So why such a change in tactics? Utilizing their technology against them, through a series of what I call “controlled conversations,” I was able to weed them out.
Right now I consider this a war of attrition. They have done everything to try to destroy my life and cripple me further in order to depend on THEM. They came to my place of employment after having put in just over half a decade there. A place where I built a nest and relied on for our healthcare. The warrant was 25 miles away and they had a camera up. It was tactical. They knew i would not be home and deliberately came about 10 strong to my workplace to tell me they’re serving a warrant. They scared people, with badges and service pistols on display for all to see. They began to question me and asked again for my assistance. When I declined and went to oversee the warrant I was attacked by a vehicle while on the phone with an Attorney and a family member. When I exited the vehicle 10+ people, some wearing ski-masks pointing automatic rifles at me ordering me to put my hand down behind my back, knowing i have a pocket knife. I was then struck from the back to the ground and beaten according to witnesses. I was shackled, detained for nearly 3 hours (most of the time in an SUV) while men in ski-masks broke into my car without my consent and searched it. All of this was captured on front and rear dashcams! Even though the physical evidence doesn’t add up, I was given a citation for “Improper Lane Change” by Hillsborough County Sheriff Deputy Stewart Gray.
I stayed away from the jurisdiction of the warrant and guarded my phone and dashcams. Outside of the warrant, these were taken from me as were many things.
This is going to be a story that sheds light many things and opens corridors. We Americans have a right to know. This is a nation for us and by us. Not for them or by them.
WE are in need of your support. This is going to be a long road. Our daughter is only 4 months old and we’re doing all we can. To be accused of something and then have to pay to play their game is costly. Children are costly and up to $6000/mo alone for medications to help me to function somewhat normal is overwhelming. Stress kills, but it kills me a faster given my condition.
Secondly you need to start a GoFundMe page for a security system on your home and cars. Have your video directly uploaded to the ACLU and offsite storage somewhere. You will get a lot of support from the readers of this website.
As the founders of this website know very well the only way to stop this harassment is to expose it publicly.
I am starting funding but my focus is on 1) health 2) legal.
i appreciate and value your feedback. My work was in the security (info/tech security) so these angles have been covered.

If you are not aware of other cases of fbi harassment you might help yourself by doing some research to see what you are up against. There are some high profile cases that have been well documented. Cointelpro would be a good starting point.
Your recording devices are the best protection you have. You would be well served to have one obvious recording device and a surreptitious recording device as a backup in case “something happens” to the first.
Good luck and god bless

That was back when selling your soul got you something you wanted in return.
But why would the Devil be so kind?
In fact, I can take your comments to assume that you may be anti-American. Because what he is doing is brave and exposing the lengths the people representing our government go to in order to force compliance if it’s not willfully given. Don’t count yourself out. You’re name suggests you’re hispanic and the tables can turn quickly given the current political atmosphere. If you only had the brass to do what this guy did!
So much for living in the Land of the Free
And while that seems reassuring, let’s remember that East Germans reassured themselves in just that way…. then the Wall fell and they opened the Stasi files.
I’m Canadian and we are ever being drawn into law enforcement agreements with the U.S. We have had Canadian citizens tortured under these collaborative situations, –for which our government was roundly sued for huge sums, and rightly so. We were subsequently assured that there would be much more stringent monitoring of our involvement with U.S. law enforcement. I intend to ensure that the Parliamentary Committees engaging in oversight of these agreements have this material. (The spectacle of a pregnant woman struggling to crawl backwards on her knees down her driveway is so illustrative of what is occurring in our neighbouring country, and something that we do not want to be part of.)
Can I ask, what is a fake BMW emblem? Is it illegal to make aftermarket parts?
