That’s interesting. I’m curious if you know of any intances that were made public. It is certain that government and law enforcement (especially leftist states, agencies, localities) snoop and uses AI algorithms to sift through data against their targets.
So as to avoid the appearance of targeting individuals, they target groups such as Bible believing Christians, conservatives, libertarians, NRA members and gun owners etc. I would think that targeting a law abiding group would be profiling without legitimate reason and against the 14th amendment. The idea is to subject a group to excessive scrutiny and find a greater incidence of “crimes and violations” that are then used to justify profiling the targeted group.
Now that many leftists are being pressured at the Fed level, the leftists are increasingly going to the State (like CA) and the local level to harass their opponents. State sponsored law-fare. This is leftists using the government apparatus as terrorist proxies.
I know of no instances made public. I am convinced that tactic is what was behind the insane prosecution approach with the Twin Peaks Waco Biker incident and the Bundy and Burns Oregon prosecutions. The lengths that they went to try and make and example of “home grown” terrorists made me think Homeland Security was involved or some element of the FBI. They publicly made bold statements that home grown threats were more dangerous than ME Terrorists. Total nonsense, but supported the political agenda under Obozo.
