Surveillance Evangelist Arrested in California

No, unfortunately surveillance evangelism has not been made illegal overnight.

EFF reports [eff.org] that, in an ironic twist of karma, FBI agents arrested a Mexican tycoon named Jose Susumo Azano Matsura at his Coronado, Calif. home on Wednesday as part of a political bribery investigation based on captured emails, seized banking records, and covertly recorded conversations.
Azano, and three Americans who acted as his agents, are now facing felony charges in an alleged conspiracy to illegally pump roughly $500,000 into local election campaigns in the border city of San Diego.

(what, money is no longer speech? </gratuitous-sarcasm> Note to the editor: throw it away if you so feel)

Does soylentnews have contributors from Mexico to share with us some insight (or just local gossip) about this shoddy character [inewsource.org]?
