The ‘hunt for political extremists’ moves forward: Bank of America secretly hands over customer data to FBI

[Crepitus]

Opinion
Bank of America secretly handed over customer data to the FBI, in an advance of the actions promoted by Democrats in the United States, which host Tucker Carlson calls “hunting political extremists.“

Carlson mentioned that at least one person was interviewed by agents, based on information from what is the second largest bank in the United States—with 60 million customers participated in this silent search, “without the knowledge or consent of its customers” according to Fox News on Feb. 4.

What was the Bank of America thinking?
Using as a pretext the riots that took place in the Capitol on Jan. 6, a controversial persecution was launched in the country, against alleged “domestic terrorists who must be put down by force,” apparently assimilated to the followers of former President Donald Trump.

It has involved many public and private institutions, including the Pentagon, and “the business establishment, from Wall Street and the tech monopolies, from the massive multinational corporations that increasingly control the contours of American life,” Carlson describes.

However, the lack of a clear context and definitions creates even more uncertainty and fear among citizens.

Carlson observed, “In order to root out a problem, you have to know what the problem is. You need a sense of what you’re looking for, a clear picture. You have to define the terms. The remarkable thing about this public conversation we’re having is that no one is doing that.”

Because some RWNJ rag says so?

I don't think so, lol.

Of course that's not what happened. BOA doesn't discuss involvement with law enforcement investigations, but do you think they don't know when it's legal? LOL

BoA snooped through hundreds of accounts looking for Capitol rioters

After being contacted by the government, Bank of America handed over the information of 211 people, it was revealed on Thursday night.

Political extremists? how would Bof A have any idea of who was a dangerous extremist? just amazing. When Colonel Hassan the Fort Hood shooter took out a bunch of people... we were all told Immediately not to over react.
Why is there always two sets of rules with these people?

Probably told the FBI where they used their debit/credit cards on Jan 5 snd 6. Just firming up if the person was there.

Without a warrant? Are you fucking insane?

No one said there wasn't a warrant, did they? BOA won't comment except to say they cooperate with legal requests from law enforcement and the link gives no information on where they got this information. I doubt if the FBI discussed it with Tucker.

Am I missing the point? I don't understand why everyone is so incensed and calling me a liar for putting up that article.

Youre not missing anything. They just need to vent after Dump lost and they are being hunted down for attacking the capitol. Q told them that Dump would arrest everyone and they're confused and anxious as to why this hasnt happened. Its rocked their little bat shit crazy bubble.

Good stuff. Hunt you fuckers down like the treasonous rats you are.

Bring it boi. Omaha....

Did you attack the capitol?

 

[lantern2814]

Hope BOA enjoys the lawsuits coming their way. Handing those over with no subpoena or legal reasons is a clear legal violation of customer's rights. So of course the left has no problems with this.

 

[Lysistrata]

The people who complain about this stuff don't seem to be able to come up with a plan to catch the terrorists who invaded the Capitol with the intention of, at very least, assaulting Congress. The mishandling of the Jan. 6 attack allowed the terrorists to scatter. Law enforcement compiles lists all the time, and then eliminates people from that list. How else are lawbreakers going to be caught? I live in northern Virginia and there are plenty of hotels and motels that these scumbags might have stayed in They must have made credit/debit transactions.

You need a suspect before you get a warrant for accessing someone's financial accounts. This is an invasion of privacy, nothing less. There should be a class action law suit against them Monday.

Supposedly the financial records are going to show up in court, the defense attorney will ask the prosecutor how the bank statements were obtained without a warrant, and the judge will declare a mistrial or throw the whole case out for lack of evidence.

But of course not. That's for law school freshmen. The seized and confiscated records are circulated among police stations and federal "fusion centers" and used for "extra-legal" punishments, civil asset forfeitures, and other adverse actions that may be taken based on the information itself rather than its presentation in court, which will probably never happen.

I know. I'm on a mafia hit list, and some shit is hitting the fan downtown because the enforcers "failed" to eliminate me as they were ordered and the Democrat bosses are furious, basically beside themselves with bloodlust to murder me if they can't have me committed to mental hospital and tortured to death or arrested, drugged, and beaten to death in jail.

Instead of an elephant, the symbol of the Republicans needs to be changed to an Ostrich pulling his head out of the sand and going. “When did this happen?”

Outrage from the RW about how awful it is that the FBI got information from a bank. Outrage at the bank for releasing the information. As if this doesn’t happen all the time. And it happens all the time. And none of you have ever moaned or complained before.

Since this is apparently new for you all. Let’s get started explaining how things really work, and how they have worked for a long time.

In the Supreme Court Decisions Smith V. Maryland and United States V. Miller the Supreme Court held that banks, and other institutions providing information to Law Enforcement was proper and correct even if there was no warrant. Why? Because when you provided the information to the bank, you surrendered your Fourth Amendment Rights. You no longer had a Reasonable Expectation of Privacy. These decisions were from the 1970’s and 1980’s. They’ve been around for a while.

https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43586.pdf

To show what Congress thought of these decisions, you need only try and open a Bank Account. The Federal Government requires the Banks to get all sorts of identifying information on you, before they are allowed to open a bank account for you. And it gets worse. If you walk in with ten thousand dollars in cash. Let’s say you have been putting money aside every week in an emergency fund, and are worried that you have too much cash that can be stolen. Well, you have to fill out a form explaining where you got the money.

Now, for decades the Right has argued that this is good. You see, when it was anyone but them being subjected to these violations of our Civil Rights, that was fine. If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide. Does that sound familiar? It has been the battle cry of the Right whenever the Civil Rights are discussed. If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide.

Your cell phone is tracking you right now. You can’t turn it off. Why? Congress passed a law requiring any cell phones sold in the US have GPS position data available. This was for your safety. That way if you dialed 911 and were unable to speak, or were confused as to your actual location, emergency personnel could still reach you. Of course, ten seconds later Stingray and other systems were created to gather this data for the Government.

Now all of a sudden these practices that have been going on nearly my entire life are wrong. They’re outrageous. They are an abomination. They show a Government oppressing the people. They have been doing this to you for decades, and you cheered it. You denounced the Left as loving Criminals if they objected to this. The FBI whipped you into a frenzy explaining that Drug Dealers and Child Predators would continue to prey on society if they didn’t do this. You cheered it. You had nothing to fear, so you had nothing to hide.

Now, all the predictions are coming true. The old story that you ignored. First they came for the Socialist, and I did not object. Because I was not a socialist.

When we who cared about Civil Rights objected, you accused us of being criminals, or criminal lovers. You accused us of being drug dealers, or child predators. You told us time and time again, if you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide.

Now, you’re finding out how awful it is to have your rights trampled, and it is outrageous. It is a whole new game. You either don’t know, or don’t care that this has been going on for Fifty years.

This is the world you said we needed. This is the world you said we must have to protect the children. When the FBI demanded these powers you insulted and belittled and cheered when they got it. Now, you realize that you’ve been targeted all along, and they were only waiting to act on that.

Imagine the thousands, tens of thousands who would not be in prison if you hadn’t cheered. Imagine the privacy you would have now if you had not swallowed the hype hook line and sinker. Taste the bitter pill of totalitarian tactics being turned on you instead of “them”.

Outraged about this? What do you have to hide?

Oh they can use them in court. United States V. Miller is one example. You see, you have giving the information to the Bank Freely. So you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. They have been using the bank records in court for decades. All without a warrant.

The Feds don’t need a warrant. In fact, by Law, the local cops don’t need a warrant. It is called No Reasonable Expectation of Privacy. Two Supreme Court decisions set this in motion. And they aren’t recent. They’re very old. The first was from the 1970’s.

Congress responded to the cheers of the Law and Order Crowd. By requiring the banks to gather even more information on their account holders. This way the Cops could get even more information on you. We had to do this you see. It was the only way to stop Drug Dealers, Child Predators, and international criminals.

Yeah. Without a warrant. Welcome to the world we’ve all been in for decades.

The Left has been complaining about this for years. The Left fought it in court in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The Left lost when the Supreme Court decided that bank customers had no reasonable expectation of Privacy. See United States V. Miller.

The ACLU has tried to fight it since that time. But the Right has always argued that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Now, the tables are turned, and the Right is acting like this is all new shit. It’s never been done before. It’s been done a million times before. Welcome to America.

What do we have here? A law and order conservative complaining about police powers? That's funny.

(smile) Ya wanna lock me up......

Did you invade the capital on 1/6? If so the answer is - you betcha!

I didn't "invade" protest our corrupt congress on 1/6 but I wish I had of........

Our damn corrupt pols need more "protesting" them........

I thought about it for a minute and I would have to say no. Some people can be led by anyone and others are selective about who they allow to lead them. I have only had 1 president.

Outrage from the RW about how awful it is that the FBI got information from a bank. Outrage at the bank for releasing the information

Look at the numbers at the bottom of your check when you pay your bills — who's pilfering all the money from your bank account if it isn't the FBI?

It's an ACCOUNT. Every transaction involves multiple parties unless you maintain passbook savings account and use cash only for all your transactions.

You can't stump the FBI with a plain old checking account.

typical deflection from a typical idiot

If I had anything to hide at the bank I would presumably use a safe deposit box, rather than a demand deposit account.

Meanwhile I want my money back from all those white collar crooks and criminals at the bank. The Democrats have always been in love with the banksters and brokesters of Wall Street.

 

[justinacolmena]

The Left lost when the Supreme Court decided that bank customers had no reasonable expectation of Privacy

It's not a personal passbook savings we're talking about. A commercial checking account is more like it — the crooks are wheeling and dealing with customers and suppliers with every transaction, and they've got SOMETHING TO HIDE from the Eff Bee Eye.
