Here's What Happens When Someone Wants To Use YOUR "PUBLIC" INFO To INTIMIDATE YOU.

115. So we're in agreement that Pope did this.

I read your three previous links. Really. I was not feigning ignorance. The info was not in the 3 links you first provided. Of those three links, the first (and I watched the 2 minute video) talked about his Koch connections, about how he basically funds Republicans in NC. The remaining 2 links were from 2011 and said nothing about the budget director position; as your new link points out, he did not join McCrory's cabinet until January of 2013.

I wasn't sure what you were trying to say, it seemed that you were suggesting Pope did not do this and that instead some NC bureaucrat posted the site. I've been going back and forth with someone one one this thread who insists the NSA is to blame. I honestly thought you were going there as well since you jumped into the same subthread.

Regardless, we appear to be in agreement. Pope is the person behind the Civitas webpage. He probably does have easy access to state info, but seems all of the info he posted could be gotten through public records law requests. And he does not need to do illegal surveillance to get it. Arrest records are publicly available records. It appears that everything on that Civitas site is stuff you could dig up with an internet search.

Is there something on the Civitas site that could only be obtained from private state records? If so, is there an NC law that protects those records from being released--something that Pope could be charged with violating? I'm just asking. I'm not from NC. I know there are such laws here in CA.
