>law enforcement generally will not be able to tap into that except in extreme and rare cases

Like when they pull someone over for having a tail light out? I can't reconcile your statement here with what we already know about parallel construction.




Okay... so I guess someone here knows more about parallel construction than I do, however while they were kind enough to let us know this by downvoting my apparently wrong post, they were not kind enough to share their thoughts.

Are law enforcement agencies not getting data from the NSA to use in arresting and prosecuting defendants via parallel construction?


According to Binney they almost certifiably are. I think they downvoted because Binney cites the DEA, CIA and FBI - which are law enforcement - however in this thread posters have taken law enforcement to mean your friendly neighborhood municipal police officer.
