U.S. Senate Determined Them To Be An Endangerment To Your Civil Liberties.
Since When Is The U.S. Bill Of Rights
A Terrorist Manifesto?
Updated April 28, 2014
"Police throughout the United States have been caught fabricating, planting, and manipulating evidence to obtain convictions where cases would otherwise be very weak. Some authorities regard police perjury as so rampant that it can be considered a "subcultural norm rather than an individual aberration" of police officers."
One of Jeff's particular interest is insuring the public's right to video tape government employees (mainly police officers) doing (or not doing) their jobs! Jeff also uses his video cameras to insure the rights of the public (you and me) in obtaining public records from government officials.
Much of Jeff's activities are to the absolute dislike of government officials. This can be clearly seen in his videos, as posted in the above mentioned web links.

Who Are The Fusion Cops? What Is Their Purpose? And Why Do They Have An Interest In Jeff Gray?
Prior to hearing that Jeff Gray was a target of the Fusion Cops - we here at VolusiaExposed had never heard of them.
As stated in the above FDLE link (see upper right of this webpage) - the Fusion Center is a collaborative effort between state and federal law enforcement authorities to identify criminal / terrorist activities.
The Fusion Cops are a direct result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. They (Fusion Cops) were created under the logic that it was necessary to create a better flow of information between state and federal law enforcement agencies. Sounds good, right?
In Florida, the Fusion Cops are centrally located within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. (see under right side of this web page for further details)
"We are the Borg... resistance is futile !"
VolusiaExposed suspects the that Fusion Cops are more of a collective of rogue officers, similar to the Borg from the Star Trek television series, than they are a collaborative law enforcement effort to insure public safety.
The Attempted Assimilation Of Jeff Gray
Apparently per a Columbia County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) memo, Jeff Gray has come to the attention of the Fusion Cops, or at the very least, the attention of the CCSO, for engaging in such suspicious activities as:
1. "urges people on his site to "flex" their "rights" by conducting First Amendment tests on LEOs and in public spaces."
2. "appears to be well versed in laws concerning public recording / photography and encounters with law enforcement."
So ask yourself these questions, if the Fusion Center (Fusion Cops) were created to identify criminal and terrorist activities - and since they appear to have an intelligence file on Jeff Gray - do they see his actions of encouraging people to "flex" their U.S. Constitutional Rights, as an act of terrorism?
VolusiaExposed.Com appreciates that many police officers / and government employees feel intimidated by citizens that are aware of their rights.
BUT such self instilled intimidation does NOT equate to labelling that citizen as a terrorist.
From what we have read - the Fusion Fuzz (AKA Borg) have twice tried to assimilate (arrest) Gray into their collective (criminal justice system). Each time Gray has proven that resistance is NOT futile !!
The "Jeff Grays" Of The World Are Not Threats To Public Safety, Rather They Are ONLY Threats To Corrupt Law Enforcement / Government Fiefdoms.
These Fusion Centers Endanger The Civil Liberties Of The Citizens They Are Sworn To Protect.
In 2012, the U.S. Senate concluded a two year investigation into the effectiveness of these Fusion Centers. According to the Senate web page, they determined that the Fusion Centers were highly ineffective, were a waste of federal funding, and most disturbing - that their (Fusion Centers) actions often were invasive to the civil rights of citizens. (The Entire Senate Report Is Available For Review From Their Web Page)
In short - the Fusion Fuzz have become the terrorists - the exact individuals, that they were sworn to protect us (citizens) from.
The Nazification Of Law Enforcement It's Nothing New !
Florida law enforcement agencies over reaching their law enforcement authorities to harass their critics is by no stretch of the imagination - a new thing.
Last June (June 2013), VolusiaExposed ran an article on how the Seminole County Sheriff Department and FDLE conducted a law enforcement investigation on Jeff Frazier - the owner and operator of SeminoleWatch.Com, a website critical of Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger. -->
Welcome To Florida - where the police are the most successful criminals and terrorists.
