    Or they have stopped them, so we haven’t heard about it.

    I’m not advocating giving up privacy but you don’t know for sure that these tactics don’t “work.”

        I guess I don’t think of the higher agencies as cops, even though they are. And those higher agencies (FBI, NSA, CIA, etc.) don’t strike me as the type of groups who want to keep the public informed—quite the contrary, actually. I would expect local cops to praise themselves if they got something right, sure.
