"In the last decade, CO started to grant limited authority to certain federal law enforcement agencies. The purpose is so that if they witness a citizen being victimized, they can act and turn the case over to a local police officer (because most crimes against our citizens are not federal crimes) and they have no other jurisdiction to intervene as federal officers. The law also allows them, in cases where they are investigating a crime that is against both state and federal law, to file the case with our local DA in situations where the damage amount doesn't meet a threshold where the federal prosecutors will file it in federal court. If you read the bill, you will see the limitations clearly in it. As Sheriffs, we are the beacon against over reach by federal authorities, but in this situation, it is not the case" - Sheriff Justin SmithRead The Entire Bill Here
The German government is canceling a contract with Verizon over fears the company could be letting U.S. intelligence agencies eavesdrop on official communications.
The Interior Ministry says it will let its current contract for Internet services with the New York-based company expire in 2015.
The announcement comes after reports this week that Verizon and British company Colt provide Internet services to the German parliament and other official entities.
Germany has been at the forefront of international outrage over alleged electronic eavesdropping by the U.S. National Security Agency and Britain's GCHQ, revealed last year by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Ministry spokesman Tobias Plate said Thursday that Germany wants to ensure it has full control over highly sensitive government communications networks. Verizon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Comment: The man is a psychopathic liar, one of many responsible for genocide on an unspeakable scale who should be tried for war crimes. Anyone who lends credence to a single word that comes out of his lying mouth should question their sanity.
