Lying to judges to recreate false trails of evidence is highly illegal and shakes the foundation of the laws our justice system established to defend people. DEA uses this technology millions of times a year. They requested information previously in the mid2000s directly from telecoms without a warrant 10 million times for EACH telecom. This was according to leaked wikileaks docs in 2008. Now DEA uses NSA and recently the Feds have been providing Stingray equipment to police precincts which act as a cell tower and intercept all communications. If drugs were legal drug warriors would lose billions. Police precincts would almost shut down. We don't have a lot of violent crime anymore to justify these inflated, militarized budgets. It's all a racket and about targeting citizens over drugs. They wish there were millions of terrorists...there are not. There are millions of drug users and there always will be so they created this system to target them
