ACLU - FBI uses public outreach programs to spy on Americans

Nothing to see here.. Just more rights being violated.

Quote:
In 2011, the ACLU discovered through Freedom of Information Act requests that the FBI secretly used the mosque outreach program?as well as other community outreach programs?to collect and record information about innocent Californian Muslims' speech, beliefs, and other First Amendment-protected activities in violation of the Privacy Act. It's important to stress the FBI collected information about First-Amendment protected activities?like who attended a religious service and the contents of their conversations?without any suspicion that anyone in attendance had done anything wrong, according to the documents the ACLU obtained.
