Lyin’ Ted Cruz Campaign Refuses To Give FEC Details of Campaign Loans From Goldman Sachs…

FBI orders local police into silence about capabilities of cell phone surveillance gear

by J. D. Heyes, Natural News:

According to a document released by the FBI under a Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Washington Post, the federal law enforcement agency requires state and local police departments to remain silent regarding the capabilities of a controversial form of surveillance equipment that enables officers to listen in on cellphone calls and track individuals based on signals sent from their mobile devices.
As further reported by the Post:
