The bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives came forward Thursday, admitting that a box spotted and removed from an SRP power pole on 21st and Glendale avenues belonged to them and was part of an ongoing investigation.

ATF officials would not elaborate on the investigation and would not say if they were conducting surveillance in the area.

"I don't feel safer," said Brian Clegg, who called ABC15 about the box on the power pole behind his house.

Clegg was suspicious there could be cameras installed in the boxes but ATF would not confirm that.

Yes, please, before they wholesale kill more U. S. Citizens.

Retire at least some of them to Guantanamo.

[libh8er]

My thoughts too.

I’ll betcha the ATF suited up in power company uniforms to do their dirty deed, which is also another crime. Or worse, the power company knew about it. Or even sneakier, a 3am climb up the pole dressed in black.

From the article-

“An SRP representative told ABC15 that no one had permission to put the box on their pole.

Clegg has video of what he described as an SRP crew removing the box late last month.

The box was facing Clegg’s house, a strip mall and a high school.

SRP said there were indications that law enforcement was connected to the box, but did not elaborate.

Clegg said the crew who installed the box came in a truck marked “Field Pros.” “
