Comment on Employer Tipped Off Police In Pressure Cooker/Backpack-gate, Not Googleparent

Comments

When an employer "blows the whistle" on a former employee whose employment was recently terminated, the onus lies with the government to do their due diligence before encroaching upon the sanctity of the former employees home.

Thus, my reference to a partnership with the government maintains some semblance of appropriateness.

This story directly ties into the Orwellian "See Something, Say Something" campaign initiated by the US government in the name of "the war on <some> terror."

They didn't encroach on the 'sanctity' of the former employee's home. They knocked on his door and had a conversation with him outside.

Really, they searched his home from outside? They're getting very good at spy technology if even the PD has that particular device.
