Bad MSM reporting lead to this post.....Corrected

Recommended Posts

Guess it's time to be wary of what you search for.  Now it only take suspicion that a crime MAY be committed for the government to react.  It is totally out of control.  One hundred active searches a week.  Ninety-nine are negative!  Who are these people protecting?  Certainly not me.  Do they really believe this is necessary?

Incomplete details...

Catalano first suggested, then recanted, that the FBI might have been the ones at her door. But an FBI spokesperson told The Washington Post on Thursday afternoon that the visitors to her home had actually been from the Nassau County Police Department and the Suffolk County Police Department.

The Suffolk County Police Department verified as much later that evening, emailing a statement to reporters confirming that its officers had indeed visited the home. But they said they did so not from some automated surveillance system, nor Google, but rather due to a "tip from a Bay Shore based computer company regarding suspicious computer searches conducted by a recently released employee." As the statement continues:

 

 

The former employee’s computer searches took place on this employee’s workplace computer. On that computer, the employee searched the terms "pressure cooker bombs" and "backpacks." After interviewing the company representatives, Suffolk County Police Detectives visited the subject’s home to ask about the suspicious internet searches. The incident was investigated by Suffolk County Police Department’s Criminal Intelligence Detectives and was determined to be non-criminal in nature.

Reacting to the police statement, Catalano published a post on her personal Tumblrsaying that it was her husband's search queries, made at his old job, that arose suspicion. She acknowledged her original post may have been misleading, but insisted she had tried to tell the truth as she knew it at the time. A Suffolk County Police spokesperson also told The Verge the investigation on Catalano's family had been concluded. She declined to do media interviews.

 

Though I'm not saying no one is watching...
