Agreed. I remember an article on slashdot before outlining the process of parallel construction and how it was used against U.S. residents/civilians. They may be mining the data for an investigation and then not using it in court which is illegal, and if it isn't it should be.

Where do you think "anonymous tips" come from?
On another site, there was a thread about a guy ranting on his Facebook wall about militias and general right wing stuff. He included something along the lines "you should watch out, people are getting angry" (paraphrased). The FBI called and wanted to talk to him.. Stupidly, he went to them. They had a folder FULL of his online activity, some of it going way back previous to the rant. They had no warrant, and he went willingly (stupid, but whatever).
The point being, they record everything you do with an electronic communication device, and back fill until they find something or think they "know" you.
There is likely to be an entire hidden justice system going on. The problem is, because it's hidden, we don't know what makes it work and how it is motivated. (Hint: IRS investigations used as a political weapon.) This "justice system" acts by tipping off the facade justice system out front.
There has been a HUGE increase in the number of "we got these guys" without a reason HOW they got those guys. I think the hidden system is trying to appear useful. They used to just ignore smaller stuff like drug lords, gang activity, etc. Now they don't. They need people to think it's useful now, where it was just used for political purposes before.
This stuff is way bigger than just "parallel construction." Whatever it is, it is not us anymore. The grand children of the Millennials (those idiots) will not have a "United States" as we knew it to live in.
Not posting anonymously, because they'll figure it out anyway.
