NODE 76dcd8a5Local Law Oppose FBI on Crypto
John Young <jya@pipeline.com>Tue, 17 Mar 1998 08:36:13 -0800 (PST)
A point made at Senator Ashcroft's crypto hearing going
on now, made by James J. Fotis, of the Law Enforcement
Alliance of America, is that many local police departments
do not want the FBI and federal agencies snooping on them,
thus, they oppose the FBI's stance on crippled crypto.
To be sure, they may fear the feds because of local
corruption, but it's a crack in the blue wall solidarity
that the FBI has heretofore vaunted.

The LEAA is part of the Americans for Computer Privacy effort and was
listed as one of their member groups at the announcement earlier this
month...
