L.A. County Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey is sponsoring legislation that would expand state wiretapping laws.
and other electronic communications to build cases for a wide swath of crimes that current state law deems ineligible for such surveillance. The broadened list of crimes includes felonies such as attempted kidnapping and rape of an unconscious person, as well as making criminal threats and firing a weapon from a car.
The San Francisco Public Defenders Office, which opposes the measure, argued in a letter that obtaining a wiretap is “easy enough as is” — and more often than not doesn’t reveal criminal activity. In Arellano’s case, he was allegedly heard on the wiretap discussing his involvement with a illegal marijuana grow, arranging for drug payments and offering advice to suspected drug dealers on how to avoid police, according to court records.
And then as soon as they clean the rest of the conservatives out, the law will magically sunset. Lie cheat and steal? Only way to win Libs?
Only people complaining are the ones with something to hide...
