“A secretive unit within the DEA known as the ‘Special Operations Division’ (SOD) specializes in gathering information on defendants through cavalier means (including data-sharing with the NSA), and then helps investigators recreate information trails so evidence appears to have come from ‘normal investigative techniques.’ The new documents reveal ‘DEA trainers routinely teach the finer points of parallel construction to field agents and analysts across the country, not just within the SOD’. In addition to concerns over constitutionality, the documents urge local law enforcement to hide their surveillance methods because ‘Americans don’t like [them.]’.”
