Arizona first US state to attempt legal resistance to NSA surveillance
• Russia TodayArizona’s state senate panel approved a bill withdrawing state support for intelligence agencies’ collection of metadata and banning the use of warrantless data in courts. The panel becomes the first legislative body in US to try and thwart NSA spyin
If this passes, the problem will be catching the NSA at their dirty activities. To do this, Arizona will have to develop NSA-like surveillance that is almost as good as that of the NSA. When that happens, what's to keep Arizona from turning their own intel-gathering capabilities on Arizona citizens and the rest of the world? Nobody but the Arizona surveillance team will know if they are following orders that forbids them from observing citizens and joining the NSA, because they will be the only ones with this kind of technology in Arizona. Kind of a potential catch-22 for Arizonans.
