Re:eyes and ears (Score 1)

Yeah I'm actually quite surprised that most of these comments are glossing over the thin link to the federal justice system here. From what I've read the case really should be in the state jurisdiction, but because of some damage to a police cruiser it's suddenly federal? According to the article, the feds content that because the SFPD receives federal funding for anti-terrorist ops, then all SFPD assets are "of federal interest" and this is a federal case? I'd say that's pretty damn shady. So many posts flaming the guy for refusing a federal subpoena, but it seems to me the real issue here is the subversion of state laws. I'm surprised nobody from the state of California is creating more noise on this.
