Boston police accused of spying on protesters and intimidating dissidents

The Boston Police Department calls them criminals, extremists and a reason to raise a red flag in regards to ensuring homeland security. Their crime, though, is simply exercising their First Amendment rights.

The American Civil Liberties Union in Massachusetts has successfully requested and obtained a trove of files from the Boston Police Department that reveals that officers of the law have for several years conducted detailed surveillance on peaceful protesters, in many cases filing extensive paperwork to discuss the inner workings of non-violent organizations and how they exercise their constitutionally-protected right to be secure in their political beliefs.
