FBI Warning: We're a bunch of fucking pervs. Via Travelin' Librarian @ Flickr.
You may have heard or read about the two FBI officers recently accused of using surveillance equipment to spy on high-school girls from families of limited means who were participating in a barfily-named “Cinderella Project” that would afford them prom-wear at a nominal cost.
I’ve been surfing sites for info on this case (this one seems to be the most thorough), and I keep finding the same AP story, which is adequate, in that it cover the Who-What-Where-How questions, but doesn’t really come close to dealing the the messier “Whys.”
While I’m hopeful that the girls won’t be scarred for life by this skeevy abuse of power, I’m worried that the spooks will do their best to protect their own, at the expense of those who they are supposed to be protecting. I’ve seen those disgusting t-shirts that read “FBI: Female Breast Inspector.” They weren’t funny then, but now they’re just chilling.
Yeah the FBI “satellite” office at a WV mall is incredibly weird. I can only hope they were spying on a nearby meth lab or something. It’s not like MSM ever really does the kind of analysis you are talking about though.
If this had been me, these sleazeballs would need the entire FBI academy at Quantico to protect them from my parents. Time for a lawsuit!
I am of course, fucking pissed. However, it’s not like I’m surprised this bullshit happens.
I’ve already bitched elsewhere about how they did it to families with minority political affiliations, but not that long ago, there was also complaints of the fucktards in Homeland Security recording, listening, and distributing for shits and giggles phone sex calls of random folks.
I know, where are the answers?! Those are all good questions. As far as why they would have the satellite office in a mall-maybe we’ll never know, for security reasons (aforementioned meth lab, terrorism surveillance, etc).
Hopefully we’ll learn more but since it’s the FBI, I’m not holding my breath.
