FBI ordered to release records


Lawsuit brings some positive results

An update to the story from a couple of days ago.

A judge has ordered (pdf) the FBI to release agency records about its abuse of National Security Letters (NSLs) to collect Americans’ personal information. The ruling came just a day after the EFF urged (pdf) the judge to immediately respond in its lawsuit over agency delays. This is the same case in which an internal FBI audit found that the bureau potentially violated the law or agency rules more than 1,000 times while collecting data about domestic phone calls, e-mails and financial transactions in recent years.

Could be interesting. Let's see if the system really does police itself.

Still, it wouldn't have happened at all if the EFF hadn't pursued their lawsuit.
