Obama gives Interpol Diplomatic Immunity and immunity from search and seizure - Polidicks

[quote=New Media Journal]President Obama has issued an amendment to Executive Order 12425, designating the international law enforcement agency Interpol as a "public international organization," thus extending diplomatic immunity to the law enforcement group The amendment to the Executive Order -- which does not need to be put to the senatorial test of "advise and consent" -- reads: "By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them." The text of Section 2(c), which now applies to Interpol states: "(c) 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." Because of this move by the Obama Administration any and all Interpol offices in the United States cannot be searched due to its status as a diplomatically protected organization. It's offices are considered sovereign and its files are not subject to legal request, be it by subpoena or discovery. The website ObamaFile.com notes, "If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the US court system, just hand them over to Interpol until the smoke clears." It added that Interpol can maintain files on US citizens. Diplomatic immunity, usually reserved for those who work at diplomatic missions throughout the United States, exempts persons and offices directly connected to foreign governments from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement. It exempts said entities from US taxes and extends this protection to immunity from FOIA requests. The amendment to Executive Order 12425, signed by Obama on December 17, 2009, declared Interpol records immune from search and seizure, "The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable." By virtue of this declaration, any information that Interpol may have on political operatives or elected officials in the US -- including SEIU president Andy Stern, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and President Obama himself -- would be immune from any attempts to bring the information to light.[/quote] Why does Interpol need diplomatic immunity? If they [I]really[/I] need to do something, couldn't they just, y'know, follow American law?

[QUOTE=Splode a Pinga;19257053]One word first reply. Excellent. But in all seriousness, keep to the topic at hand without the idiocy that seems to plague this part of FP.[/QUOTE] Impossible. Anything political or religious will be shat down by FP.

[QUOTE=Epidemick;19257065]what is interpol[/QUOTE] International Criminal Police Organization.

Sounds all good to me as long as noone is corrupt in it.

In other words, interpol has something to hide.

Okay. So INTERPOL gets to operate in the US with a little bit less procedural delay. They're not going to be herding us into death camps.

Why would they need immunity?

Do you know how many random organizations have immunity? It doesn't matter

[QUOTE=green bandit;19258028]Why would they need immunity?[/QUOTE] More time catching criminals, less time arsing about with paperwork at a guess.

Interpol is another arm of the US intelligence, that's why they are protecting it now. Or it could be like [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon_(signals_intelligence)]ECHELON[/url], and be a combined effort of Western intelligence agencies. One thing it's not, it's not a foreign controlled body anymore, or it wouldn't be getting this protection.

It's just been revoked. [img]http://imgkk.com/i/RvB.jpg[/img]

The Interpol agents in Lord of War were annoying, but of course Nicolas Cage outsmarted them most of the time. Good movie.

You never seem to hear of interpol doing anything. They talk about these offices having super-secret files stored in them, but there's probably just a ping pong table, a couple couches, and a minifridge in there.

The page on Wikipedia links to a band called Interpol. The international police organization this article talks about is a frigging sub page.

[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;19261054]The page on Wikipedia links to a band called Interpol. The international police organization this article talks about is a frigging sub page.[/QUOTE] That is fucking sad, right there.

Since when is INTERPOL controlled by Obama? I thought it was an [b]international[/b] investigation agency.

[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;19261054]The page on Wikipedia links to a band called Interpol. The international police organization this article talks about is a frigging sub page.[/QUOTE] False, I just wikipedia'd Interpol.

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;19265703]Since when is INTERPOL controlled by Obama? I thought it was an [b]international[/b] investigation agency.[/QUOTE] Who said it was?

Oh wow, I didn't know Interpol had 4 Nazi presidents including Heydrich and Kaltenbrunner.

[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;19265853]Oh wow, I didn't know Interpol had 4 Nazi presidents including Heydrich and Kaltenbrunner.[/QUOTE] uh, you like that?

[QUOTE=Majache;19265822]Who said it was?[/QUOTE] Just read that this only counts for INTERPOL offices in the US.
