Ramsey, national vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, because they are busy spinning their wheels, serving subpoenas on third parties or conducting long-term surveillance, trying to pierce the corporate veil. Changing the rules is such a priority that these groups are willing to redeploy homeland-security funds, intended for first responders, to pay for the implementation, because they figure it will ultimately save them lots of money and time...
