The point being that this is not a 'phone line' in the legal sense.
Its a good point. This is more a property manager wiretapping his own communications within his residence thing. The state owns the superdome.
statute of limitations in LA is 6 years, longer than the federal statue, but no way to try anyone for this, and the wiring is all gone so no way to prove it.
You would need a host of eye witnesses to even get it to court, with zero evidence., and the guy that built the last wiring system says this never happened. The FBI would have to find something else to charge loomie with. Maybe a violation of state code? or Vandalizing state property?
Edmonson said he is aware that statutes of limitations — six years under state wiretapping laws — may hinder prosecution but added, “Let’s find out if any laws have been broken first, and that’s what we’re doing right now. It’s up to us to find out facts and get with the district attorney, who will then decide” if the time to prosecute has passed.
The statute of limitations for federal wiretapping crimes is generally five years.
I have to say. I think the the FBI should work alone. Im sure the LSP would more hinder their investigation than help them,lol.
Isn't this more like when you go to a motel, and find out they were video taping your room thing?
I know The NFL has an NFL frequency coordinator who is at every game. He is controlled by the NFL, and he controls the frequency. Which is why they say this is almost impossible to pull off. Granted, unless you have your own couple million dollar circuit system in place thats built to tap into all communications, and to be undetectable. But , then benson would have had to approve that.
Loomie couldn't have that installed on his own.
Benson is more of a spectator. Rita, does football. So, its easy to see why he had no idea about any bounty thing, but he knows everything about his business, and whats built or installed in the superdome.
I think a lot of the media are not thinking about the effort it would take to do this. Loomie didn't pop over to DIY site and set it up the night before,lol. This would have to be in place, with a number of experts involved, and somehow undetectable to the NFL engineers, and electricians hired to work in the super dome. Maybe a separate communication closet built with limited access running of the main power feed. Then they would have to know how to break into the NFL fequenzy each game. Have a taping system in place. Then find a way to relay that to the HC, during or after the game. Because there is no reason to do this if you can't share the information with the HC. So, Ditka, and haslett, would have known. I think a lot of homeowners are thinking this is simple also,lol.
