Who really owns the NYPD? Who do those officers
really serve? As Martens points out, much to the NYCLU's chagrin, no
public hearings on this center and the massive expenditure of public
funds it required were ever held. But even if they had been?
Had a public hearing been held on this massive surveillance sweep of
Manhattan by potential felons, hopefully someone might have pondered
what was to prevent Wall Street from tracking its employee
whistleblowers heading off to the FBI offices or meeting with a
reporter. One puzzle has at least been solved. Wall Street’s criminals
have not been indicted or sent to jail because they have effectively
become the police.
