Now , for a layman , how can it be ?? well , surveillance somehow !! And how ?? well the most common would be wiretapping . <br /><br />Yet , there are many other ways , by which , a person , or groups can be monitored , without really getting any official approval , or judicial review . Yet, for an inexperienced person, the most obvious and common possibility, would be: Wiretapping him or his phone. <br /><br />Examples : <br /><br />There is a technology , called " stingray " through which , the FBI , and ordinary police departments , are monitoring cell phones and conversations or location of one person , and typically , without any approval of any judge or official ( although recently , has been started to be challenged in courts ) . <br />Lets cross to new York city itself : There are vans there , carrying x rays machines , monitoring so , people , movements , bodies , properties and so forth …. <br /><br />So , one may never know , what really is going on here in this regard , Trump may have referred to surveillance , yet , how , naturally , he can't know for sure , but expressed it so . <br /><br />With all due respect , the author of the post , had to show bit more concern for the idea , that Obama , or an official in his administration , has monitored somehow Trump , while the latter , was running for presidency , let alone , while Obama clearly and manifestly had expressed not once , not twice , his disgust , from the idea that Trump would become the president of the US , here some quotes from him , concerning his personality or incompetence , here : <br /><br />“unfit to serve as president – someone who can’t be trusted with his own Twitter account, let alone the nuclear launch codes.”<br /><br />And more : <br /><br />"uniquely unqualified".<br /><br />End of quotation : <br /><br />So, just to remind you, monitoring the cell phone of Angela Markel (The president of Germany) didn't need at the time, any official approval or whatsoever. Was it also for national security purposes ?? So , why not Trump , one may wonder ?? it is not so high , just to sigh …. <br /><br />Links : <br /><br />Obama on Trump : <br /><br />http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-09/donald-trump-wins-us-election-defeats-hillary-clinton/8006776<br /><br />https://sputniknews.com/us/201701211049841894-trump-praises-clintons-inauguration/<br /><br />http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37932231<br /><br />Verdict dealing with the stingray : <br /><br />https://www.eff.org/files/2015/08/05/030_koh_order_affirming_denial_of_csli_application.pdf<br /><br />In Wikipedia ( more simplified ) : <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker<br /><br />Verdict dealing with information disclosure , concerning X rays monitoring in NY city ( a police vehicle known as the Z-backscatter van) here : <br /><br />http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2014/2014-ny-slip-op-24388.html<br /><br />Monitoring Angela Merkel , here : <br /><br />https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/12/germany-drops-inquiry-into-claims-nsa-tapped-angela-merkels-phone<br /><br />Thanks <br /><br />el roamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406442932147092365noreply@blogger.com
