Enumeraron al activista Obuszewski máximo, que único “crimen” era la oposición de la pena de muerte en la base de datos como terrorista. Su crimen “primario” era “terrorismo-contra-gobierno” con un crimen secundario de los “manifestantes de la terrorismo-contra-guerra”.

Según ACLU el abogado David Rocah, los leyes federales prohíbe los departamentos que reciben fondos federales de las bases de datos que mantienen de actividades y de afiliaciones políticas y los indican que el policía violó estos leyes. Sr. Rocah indicado: “Esto no se supone para suceder adentro América. En una sociedad libre, que confía en el contrato de ciudadanos en el discusión y protesta y actividad política para mantener eso libertad… usted debe poder assistir a una reunión sobre una edición que usted cuida alrededor sin tener que preocuparse que los espías del gobierno están incorporando su nombre en una base de datos usada a la pista alegada terroristas y traficantes de la droga.” Él llamó vigilancia “Locura Kafka-esque.”

La vigilancia ilegal de Sr. Obuszewski y su grupo, compromiso de Resistencia-Baltimore, fueron expuestos durante su ensayo para la infracción y conducta desordenada en una protesta 2004 fuera de las jefaturas de la agencia de la seguridad nacional en la fortaleza Meade, Maryland. Estos documentos indican que los troopers del estado de la cubierta interior de la seguridad de la patria de Maryland y de la división de la inteligencia infiltraron a 3 grupos. Éstos incluyen a Sr. Obuszewski’s group: the Coalition to End the Death Penalty; and the Committee to Save Vernon Evans, a murderer slated for execution.

These pages highlight at least 288 hours of surveillance. Officers attended at least 20 meetings and a dozen rallies against the death penalty. Some of these rallies took place at the SuperMax jail in Baltimore. The documents reference a proposed sit-in at the offices of Baltimore County State’s Attorney Sandra A. O’Connor. They contain No reports of violence or even any threat of violence. In fact, they show how the organizers repeatedly stressed the importance of peaceful and orderly demonstrations.

A report about a demonstration at the jail contains the following: “There were about 75-80 protesters at the rally and none participated in any type of civil disobedience or illegal acts. Protesters were even careful to move out of the way for Division of Correction employees who were going into the parking lot for work.”

Even though these meetings and protests were carried out peacefully and in full compliance with all laws, the information about the protesters and their activities was sent to seven agencies, including the National Security Agency and an unnamed military intelligence official.

“Americans have the right to peaceably assemble with others of a like mind and speak out about what they believe in,” Mr. Rocah said. “For state agencies to spend hundreds of hours entering information about lawful and peaceful political activities into a criminal database is beyond unconscionable. It is a waste of taxpayer dollars, which does nothing to make us safer from actual terrorists or drug dealers.”
