Feds raid Texas political meeting, fingerprint, photograph all attendees, and seize phones. ..



This sounds like the old Soviet Union or Communist China right here in the USA.
But, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about; after all, America is not a dictatorship…Right?  

In a deliberate “show of force,” federal and local police forces raided a political meeting in Texas, fingerprinting and photographing all attendees as well as confiscating all cell phones and personal recording devices.

Members of the Republic of Texas, a secession movement dedicated to restoring Texas as an independent constitutional republic, had gathered Feb. 14 in a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall along with public onlookers.  They were debating issues of currency, international relations and celebrating the birthday of one of their oldest members.  The group, which describes itself as “congenial and unimposing,” maintains a small working government, including official currency, congress and courts.

At least 20 officers corralled, searched and fingerprinted all 60 meeting attendees, before seizing all cell phones and recording equipment in a Valentine’s Day 2015 raid on the Texas separatist group.”
