Surprise bill for interstate fusion center data sharing pops up Tuesday; Specs found for Harris StingRay & KingFish cellphone tracking devices

Law enforcement's latest move at the Minnesota State Capitol is to try and slide SF3163 / HF3651 through the noise. Quietly introduced as "law enforcement data from other states classification" just days ago by Sen. Mee Moua (DFL-St. Paul) and Rep. John Lesch (DFL-St.Paul Attys Office), the short bill would allow state law enforcement authorities to release virtually anything without any oversight to other states, and compartmentalize what they receive from other states under their external data classifications!

This is another "tip of the iceberg" for the federal fusion center agenda, along with extending new social control/surveillance measures like nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting platforms, which Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek has been hawking. [Part II: A ton of SAR-related docs]

Also, a whole suite of Harris-brand tracking systems turned up related to the Harris Kingfish system, a previously reported secret cell phone tracking tech requested by Stanek: TC Indymedia has learned that another system, StingRay has supplanted KingFish and found their promotional material from Harris Wireless Products.

It was stressed the authorities need to be asked why this bill, SF3163 / HF3651, has been discreetly launched and "snuck" into the MN Senate Judiciary Committee with no public notice. What does SF3163 / HF3651 do?? The bill introduced late is "already Dead On Arrival," having missed a deadline. Thus the plan would appear to be stick this huge shift in the big federal-interstate police agenda in the Public Safety Omnibus Policy bill when no one is looking.

Below the fold: Docs about Harris StingRay, KingFish & emergency networks; DOJ buys cell phone trackers for Hennepin County?; RNC link in G20 "twittering crackdown" affadavit. Part II: More on Suspicious Activity Reports & the MnJAC fusion center tracking agenda via Harris, NGA, ISE, NIMS, SARs & more
