The easiest way to change the rules that apply to you is to just rewrite them yourself. So the FBIs done exactly that, the NYT reports, self-releasing a new edition of its rulebook. Lets dig through some garbage, Fed bros!The “Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide” is the FBIs big fat guide to investigative dos and donts. Formerly under the dont category: administer lie detector tests, go through private residential garbage, and send out “surveillance squads” without any firm evidence that the person in question might possibly be a criminal. Not anymore! This is a new, chill, laid back FBI. Who needs evidence?
