ATF Seeks 'Massive' Database of Personal Info: 'Assets, Relatives, Associates and More'

The Right to be Secure in your Person . . . nah. The Founders were just kidding.

Here's the article:

A recent solicitation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) reveals that the agency is seeking a "massive" online database capable of pulling up individuals' personal information, connections and associates.

On March 28, ATF posted the notice on FedBizOpps.gov, entitled "Investigative System." The solicitation was updated on April 5 with a few minor changes.

The document says that the system will be utilized by staff "to provide rapid searches on various entities for example; names, telephone numbers, utility data and reverse phone look-ups, as a means to assist with investigations, and background research on people, assets and businesses."

The system is described as a "massive online data repository system that contains a wide variety of data sources both historically and current that can be utilized in support of investigations and backgrounds."

The overview of the solicitation states:

Staff will utilize "a number of internal databases as well as external sources to provide timely and relevant information and intelligence products to law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local levels."

The system "provides a means to rapidly check records across the country" and is "necessary in assisting investigators, agents and analyst to find people, their assets, relatives, associates and more."

The ATF says they will use this system to provide information to Intelligence Analysts, Special Agents, Inspectors, Financial Investigators and Law Enforcement.

The investigative system will allow ATF to "obtain exact matches from partial source data searches such as, incomplete social security numbers, address, VIN numbers, etc."

The system will also have the ability to "link structured and unstructured data to find connection points between two or more individuals."

No Agency Left Behind - in the burgeoning police state.

Seems like this is in clear violation of the law.

It's all public information. Is there some credible evidence that such a database would be utilized for any purpose other than investigations relating to law enforcement? Which is, in case you don't know COG, what the ATF is charged with doing: enforcing the law.

Do you huddle in a dark basement up there in Wichita every day? Hiding from the black helicopters?

Murdered? They were shooting at them. I lived near there when it happened. I know a hell of a lot more about the situation than you do.

Really? I lived near where Kennedy was assassinated. Does that mean I know a lot more about that situation than you do?

Peltier was convicted in the murder of two FBI agents in a United States District Court. I'm sure you have some interesting and whacky conspiracy theories since the murdered folks were government employees and since your hero was convicted in a court that,,,,you know....is run by the government. The evidence was overwhelming. The appeals and attempts to overturn the conviction have been endless. The trial evidence has stood up over the last almost 50 years since these two murders took place.

Your little slogan poster is absurd. Do you have it tacked up on the wall in your soundproof basement where you hide from the helicopters and the government eavesdroppers? You fucking weirdo.....

[CuteOldGuy]

And OJ was acquitted. What does that prove? Man, you swallow everything the government feeds you, TimmyPageboy. Wake up, man. There is a real world out there.
