Greetings everyone,
With latest happenings in law and government schemes, I am told that
there are a new set of regulations regarding the formal disclosure of
operations, taps, and other such sentry mechanisms to compliment or
update the old request format... (series of questions or formal
statements)
Can someone please direct us to any new information regarding the
official phrasing needed to force disclosure of operations or
"informance", and please also post sources of the older questions and
legal logistics for those of us who have since lost the documents...
By this i mean, in regard to the legal requirements of someone
monitoring or posing as informant to certain organizations, both in the
states and without, there is a certain sequance of questioning, that if
an operative is requested to answer, and they do not have specific
warrent for the individual inquiring or otherwise done in a public
location, they will be required to [any of or combination of] disclose
their identity, formal operations requirements, the organization with
whome they work, and / or other relevant information regarding their
ongoings...
An obvious example of this is the older scripts used by the amerikan cia
when asked a certain string of questions, the operatives would be forced
legally to either state immediately or prepare a formal statement
regarding their activities within a certain time frame (if they have no
clearance to avoid it from their leaders/heirchy). This specific
sequence is no longer used, after it became more distinctive in open
environments. There have been others implemented since then, and are
concidered public data to protect innocent individuals or restrict
access to other organizations classified materials...
There are however new regulations for wire tapping, monitoring systems,
data monitoring systems, physical sentry (people watttching people or
things), and other similar activities, especially pertinant at this time
with the attemts for the us to gain public support of their proposed and
yet non-existant [sic] security monitoring systems... esch- etc.
I believe the current protocall for some organizations requires either
the full disclosure of activities or the cease in monitoring, no less
the variety of other organization- specific requirements [each may be
different now]...
Again, please post for the group, any current legalities and logistics
(including protocall) for these and related things, as im sure it can be
of great use to a vast number of readers :)
I look forward to any info that can be found and made available ---
