How far would the FBI , CIA or other government agencies go to contact someone on here?

For any lurking moderators That was the last off topic post on my part

But seriously these people we're talking about are true believers now I'm sure lots of people in the police are good people doing a job but how much good can come out of spying on and arresting citizens.

they will not want to wind-up inside wearing a number on there chest like the people they lock up they may be brave under fire but not when it counts

im singing off its way to early

hahaha funny! Certainly sounds like a American supporter!

Why would they contact you before just disposing of you if you knew the truth about anything?

People dissapear all the time.

I don't know. Hence me asking the question. I think they prefer to stop you from talking rather then having to cover up your kidnapping or death....

It is called .....

I-N-T-E-R-P-O-L

You happened to say something here on ATS that the CIA wants to learn as to where you learned this information....they in turn call the secret police in NZ who haul you in for questioning.

If the information was of a sensitive enough nature The CIA operative would interrogate you as to where you learned this information and also tell you as to why you shouldn't say such things

AND what will happen if you continue to do so. As in threatening of your disappearance and/or harm to your family.

Otherwise the NZ equivalent Investigate Police would suffice in threatening you...and will tail you thereafter.

And No you are not necessarily immune simply because you are across the pond.

Common sense would tell you that If you can access ATS from NZ then the authorities can certainly reach you.


Peace

Not really how it works.

If a ATS member have sensitive knowledge of something that does not belong to s/he, that knowledge first have to reach somewhere further than to ATS it self, for it to become a problem. It must reach a authority before the knowledge become a sensitive matter.

ATS is a public forum with people from all over the world. To a ATS member the source of the knowledge posted would be the person who posted the information. But to authority the particular information has a different source.
The person who posted the information on ATS is not very important. What is important is, who leaked the knowledge within the original source. Sensitive knowledge can always be traced, based on the information it self. How things go from there depends on the geographical location of the source holder. And how government(s) interacts with the government(s) of the source holder.

Authority works from the source holder that created the knowledge and outwards. Not from the ATS member and to the source holder.

And oddly enough, Obama signed an Executive Order that gives Interpol some authority in the USA.

In the dead of night on December 17, 2009,Obama placed the United States of America under the authority of the international police organization known as INTERPOL, granting the organization full immunity to operate within the United States. Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945. By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates - now operates - on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests. What, exactly does this mean? It means that INTERPOL now has the full authority to conduct investigations and other law enforcement activities on U.S. soil, with full immunity from U.S. laws such as the Freedom of Information Act and with complete independence from oversight from the FBI.

In short, a global law enforcement entity now has full law-enforcement authority in the U.S. without any check on its power afforded by U.S. law and U.S. law enforcement agencies. Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable. (Emphasis added.) Inviolable archives means INTERPOL records are beyond US citizens' Freedom of Information Act requests and from American legal or investigative discovery ("unless such immunity be expressly waived.") Property and assets being immune from search and confiscation means precisely that. Wherever they may be in the United States. This could conceivably include human assets - Americans arrested on our soil by INTERPOL officers.

Why would INTERPOL be arresting American citizens on our own soil, without oversight from our own law enforcement agencies? And remember, citizens who are thusly arrested would have no legal authority to demand full documentation from the International Police concerning the charges brought against them. Andy McCarthy at National Review asks these crucial, sobering questions of the secretive Obama order: Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?

This all could be a misinterpretaion, BUT .....

I cant find evidence about it, but I do remember the secret service got involved with someone who posted something online threatening GWB when he was president . They traced his IP to NZ and flew over to interview him with NZ police help.

If you are concerned, you should know that you can be anonymous online, using the proper technology (which is relatively easy these days): Check out this page explaining how to remain anonymous online: www.box.com...

Not to hijack this the thread but you'd be very surprised to know what lengths agencies from many countries would go too.
