Give these cops a medal, now.
Is it illegal to do a background check on an elected official? Or were they put on leave because they used “company resources” to do so? Just wondering was this a legal issue or did they tag it as a security issue, or just a case of them using background check software when they weren’t authorized to do so? I’ve never run a background check, but know there are sites online that do that kind of thing for a fee...legally, do you have to have a person’s permission to run a background check on them? I know at our church they run background checks on all volunteers that work with children, but that is by signed consent. Never thought much about the legal ramifications, but obviously for these police officers it was a “no no” , I’m just wondering why.
Unlear only to the SRM.
i do know from a friend that works for the state law enforcement agency here florida that you can not just run (on the agency’s system) a background check without authorization just for the sake of doing it....it would be grounds for dismissal....i wonder what they would do though (the secret service) if you were a private citizen and paid to run one on an internet program....would be interesting to see how quick they came a knocking....
They could learn alot of information by reading Obama’s book where he admits recreational drug use.
I applaud these officers. It’s well documented that Obama might have committed fraud and perjury in claiming to be a natural born citizen.
There may be something in the job app or contract they signed upon employment that says that you cannot look up someone you aren’t arresting or such. I’ve worked in Human Resources and you can’t go rifling through personnel files.
see my post #24
It would also be for each employee’s protection of privacy. You wouldn’t want someone blabbing your personal info to everyone at work, would you?
Especially if they had a couple of thousand doors they had to knock on. That would tie the Secret Service up for quite some time. They might have to sub the work out.
Thank God somebody attempted!
LOL!
Hello Diana in Wisconsin,
You know this poser will release his birth info about the same time John Kerry releases his military file.
Barry, who's your Daddy?
Here's a fun thing to do if you have a few minutes. Do a Google for "Frank Marshall Davis" and "Frank Marshal Davis". He's reportedly Zer0's actual father. When will this stuff stop?
Mommy has some interesting pictures, too.

They should be given commendations.
So these policemen get placed on leave for doing a background check on Obama..yet the CEO of the company that accessed(and possibly tampered with) Obama’s passport while contracted with the State Department during the primaries gets picked to be in the Obama Administration. It was this passport breach that started the whole refusal of Obama to release his long form birth certificate.
Go figure.
Joe The Plumber comes to mind.............Wasn’t LE ,some ditz in a state office IIRC.
So many secrets and lies from the Left. How can they ever keep their stories straight? ;)
I can’t believe there hasn’t been anyone other than a discredited ‘gay luv-ah’ to try to ‘swiftboat’ this guy! Grrrrr!
Well, the media probably gets 10 calls a day from people who know the truth, but they’re not answering, LOL!
Maybe they were just goofing around. "Let's see what this baby can do." Maybe they also typed in "Godzilla" or "Santa Claus."
