US appeals court hears case on NYC police surveillance of Muslims
[Ynet]. Civil rights groups asked a panel of federal judges on Tuesday to overturn a lower court's ruling that there was nothing harmful in New York City police conducting surveillance on Moslems in neighboring New Jersey without suspicion of a crime.The hearing came days after the deadly attacks in Gay Paree by Islamist gunnies, which have renewed the debate over the balance between government surveillance and citizens' civil liberties. Some Moslems have expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... that the attacks will be used to justify spying on them or spark an anti-Moslem backlash. The Moslem plaintiffs, including New Jersey imams, business owners, a war veteran and a student group, first sued the city in 2012. They said their lives had been disrupted in myriad ways and their constitutional rights breached by New York police surveillance. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-01-14 |
