FPS (FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE) OFFICERS' HOME ADDRESSES


  1. Introduction

    FPS was in GSA. After nine eleven, FPS was moved from GSA, becoming one of the five divisions of Department of Homeland Security's ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). According to an ICE Web page on 28 February 2005, the Federal Protective Service has 1,500 special agents, police officers, and inspectors, and more than 10,000 contracted security personnel. They are not necessarily all full-time. FPS was moved out of ICE but still is in DHS. By the way, Arizona Republic supposedly wrote about FPS on 3 December 2004. Also, the (at ex-URL www.cochlear.org/sys-tmpl/individuals1/) cochlear.org Web site (which we sometimes call ORM website) named some people who, according to that Web site, may be FPS officers who do crimes or other misconduct. On 28 February 2005, the FPS Web site did not describe FPS internal affairs activity (how many entrapment attempts per week, how many arrests per month, how many officers work in FPS internal affairs, who's in charge, recent accomplishments, etc.). On 28 July 2007, FPS's various Web pages still don't provide that information. Perhaps to avoid wasting the time of everyone involved, FPS Web pages provide no contact information for its internal affairs unit. There supposedly was an FPS corruption case in Florida a few years ago. We don't the rile played by FPS in that case.

    FPS may be the worst, federal, police department in America. Among all police departments with more than one officer permanently working in New York City, FPS seems to be the worst. Low-level FPS officers in New York City work under close supervision, doing their work the (often felonious) way supervisors want.

    This page is about FPS, not federal police work generally.

    2. AFGE (American Federation of Government Employees) Local 918

      1. Introduction

        As far as we know, this is the exclusive bargaining agent for all FPS workers, not just police. It's not literally, geographically a local. It's nationwide. We don't know where its headquarters are. Union president Wright seems to have lived in the Kansas City area. To lobby (for example, to lobby members of appropriate, Congressional subcommittees), we guess that headquarters should be in or near the District of Columbia but we were unable to find evidence of such a location. FPS is small. Furthermore, some of its employees are part-time, and part-time employees generally tend to be somewhat cooler toward unions than are full-time employees.

    10. Davis and others

      2005 February 28, Cheryl E. Davis, Matthew Pinardi, Edward "Ed" Ryan, William Schingler

      1. Cheryl E. Davis
        According to the ICE webpages for FPS: Cheryl E. Davis is an FPS criminal investigator and the acting regional intelligence agent for the Federal Protective Service. She went on an elementary school trip to the FBI. This Web site guesses that an elementary school trip to the FBI probably would be to one of the most important FBI buildings in DC or Virginia. According to the ICE website, Davis is an only child with four daughters and two granddaughters.

      2. Pinardi

        According to former URL www.cochlear.org/sys-tmpl/individuals1/, part of the ORM Web site:

        1. Pinardi, Matthew (Baltimore, MD)
          "[T]his corrupt Federal Protective Service sergeant [Pinardi] engaged in felony extortion in attempts to cover-up for the abusive treatment of disabled visitors by his personnel."

          Someone named MATT PINARDI recently may have lived in CHICOPEE, MA 01020. MATTHEW M PINARDI born in 1970 may have lived in Peabody MA 01960.

        2. Ryan

          Edward "Ed" Ryan (Philadelphia, PA)

          "This corrupt Federal Protective Service officer [Ed Ryan] engaged in felony extortion by threatening harm to a disabled lobbyist for sending petitions, press releases, and letters to Congress exposing a pattern of criminal fabrication against complainants of FPS abuse nationwide (as reported by two newspapers)." The preceding, quoted material is from the ORM Website.

          An American wrote about Philadelphia FPS Special Agent, Ed Ryan, to cryptome.org Web site in an email message of 29 October 2008 with subject "... lies and the mockery of justice.". That message appears on a Web page of 30 October 2008 entitled "GSA Vigilante Assaults Photographer Update". In the message, some words used to described Ryan and his conduct include: "inaccuracies", "obstruction of justice", and "He [Ryan] purposely misinterpreted ....".

          In conclusion, ORM and cryptomoe.org both provided statements about FPS's Special Agent Ed Ryan. ORM provided its own statement. Cryptome provided an email statement it had received.

          Ed Ryan
          Special Agent
          Federal Protective Service
          U.S. Department of Homeland Security
          701 Market St., Suite 4200
          Philadelphia, PA 19106
          email:  edryan at dhs.gov
          

          The two statements (at ORM and cryptome.org Web sites) about Ryan seem consistent with each other. We do not know how accurate those statements are.

          On about 31 July 2008, Edward "Ed" Ryan had worked for FPS for five years as a Special Agent. Before FPS, he had worked for BoP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) as a Senior Officer Specialist for thirteen years. He had worked as a Detention Enforcement Officer for the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) for one year. If we add the three numbers of years (5, 13, and 1), we get 19. He had worked over seventeen years as a sworn, law enforcement officer.

          By the way, notice that his email user name seems to be "edryan". Some people with names such as Andrew Ryan and Ann Ryan make "aryan" their user name. Some email hosts have blocked email with that user name as part of a policy of blocking user names which are offensive. The word "Aryan" is offensive to some people. Amanda Ryan sent an email message, got it bounce back, and figured out why. We think that blocking "aryan" is funny.

      Richard Yamamoto, Former Assistant Commissioner (Acting). He is not with FPS now, we think.

      1. introduction

        Leading the Federal Protective Service in 2001 was Acting Assistant Commissioner Richard Yamamoto. He has over 20 years' law enforcement experience in the Army. He may possibly be Richard Y. Yamamoto, who may have lived in Fairfax or Fairfax Station. FPOs and FPS supervisors tend to be incompetent at legally investigating, detaining, and aresting civilians on cilvilian property. We don't know how much of this problem results from hiring retired, militarty officers to run FPS. L. Eric Patterson had been career Air Force.

    Manhattan Incidents and Observations

    2010may15

    1. Introduction

      The items below are listed chronologically, oldest first.

    2. Writing Descriptions of Cars Parked in the Street: Events, Prosecution, FPS Harassment

      Events on and after 28 March 2000

      The account below is approximately right.

      1. "security breach" 28 March 2000

        During the late afternoon or evening of about 28 March 2000 (the day after the incident involving USMS), a dtb (defendant-to-be) was on the north side of TMC (Thurgood Marhsall courthouse, which houses the second circuit court of appeals), legally taking notes of parked cars. He was working east, toward the MCC federal prison, which is near or at Cardinal Hayes Place. At about that time, uniformed, male officers started running toward him, yelling "security breach". They seemed to be from more than one agency. Some seem to have been FPS (Federal Protective Service). Maybe some were BoP (Bureau of Prisons, which operates MCC). Dtb stopped taking notes and put his pen and pad away. Dtb stood still.

        An officer walked up to him and started asking questions. The dtb explicitly refused to answer. The questioner wanted to know why the dtb would not answer. The dtb explicitly refused to answer that question, too. Despite about four or so clear refusals (more or less: "I decline to answer.", "I will not answer unless my lawyer advises me to.", "I refuse to answer unless my lawyer recommends to me that I answer." etc.), the officer kept asking. The officer implied that the dtb would be arrested if he did not answer (felonious attempt to extort an answer from someone with a right to remain silent?). No one alleged any crime by dtb. After the first three or so refusals by dtb, the dtb offered to answer if he were paid for his answers. The officer's face (especially a broad smile) suggested that the offer sounded funny to the officer. The offer was not accepted.

        Now and then, the questioner would walk a little away from the dtb, causing a pause in questioning. In one of the pauses, a different officer (friendly adviser) walked up to dtb and told him that: as on the day before, he would be arrested unless he surrendered his notes. Friendly adviser knew what had happened the day before with Cochran. The dtb did not know which agency employed friendly adviser. The dtb guessed the agency was USMS because friendly adviser knew what Cochran had done. Cochran (or the other marshal) may have told some of his colleagues what Cochran did. If friendly adviser worked for a different agency (BoP, for example), how did friendly adviser know that dtb had given his notes to Cochran to avoid arrest? Maybe Cochran or his subordinate told someone outside of USMS. Maybe someone outside USMS saw through a window what happened in the street (between Cochran and dtb the previous evening) and guessed what was going on from what he saw. A correct guess by friendly adviser would have been easy if Cochran's behavior (threatening arrest to take notes) was common behavior in that area. USMS and BoP work in adjacent buildings (courthouse and prison).

        Other possible employers of friendly adviser may be the state supreme court (which was near the Cochran events of the previous day) and FPS.

        Dtb guessed that friendly adviser was one of Cochran's colleagues at USMS.

        No Miranda warning was ever given.

        There are obvious questions; for example, about motive, other aspects of state of mind, suspiciousness, and crime. As more facts about this matter are supplied, the answers will become obvious. For example, when one learns more of what happened, motive becomes obvious. We intend to supply more facts in installments.

      2. 28 March 2000 and after, U.S. Attorney's Office, court

        Above on this page, there is a brief account about receipt-issuance in the FPS office. There was a counter in the room in which the receipt was issued. D (defendant, formerly dtb) was on one side of the counter, the side near a door to a hallway of the Javits office building. Supervisor was closer to the door than D was, maybe to prevent D from trying to escape.

        Finally, D was allowed to leave the FPS office (to which he had been transported against his will). He began to leave. Supervisor asked D if he knew why all this (taking D's property and examining it; taking D to the FPS office in the Javits building, giving D a ticket [thus beginning a petty [offense or infraction] case against D], keeping D's "evidence" without a receipt, etc.) had happened. D said "No.". Supervisor said that it was because D had not answered questions on the street [namely, why D was taking notes about cars). After D heard this, he resumed walking out. Supervisor asked D where he was going to go immediately after leaving the FPS office. D answered that he was going right back to where he had been taken from so he could resume what the had been doing. D added that, this time there would be no problem because he would fully answer all questions any officers would have. Supervisor said that taking notes about cars there was not allowed without a note from the U.S. Attorney's Office. Because of that remark (about the U.S. Attorney's Office), D did not resume taking notes about cars there until after he won the court case arising out of the ticket. By the way, at no time that day had D been asked if he had a note from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

        By the way, supervisor was the same, FPS grinner referred to above on this page.


        When the ticket had been given to D, there was no date or time for a court hearing. Supervisor had explained that later, in the mail, D would receive notice of date and time of the hearing.

        The ticket (ticket G003102, dated 28 March 2000) had a CFR number and also words, "Disobey direction of police or authorized authority in an emergency." On the ticket, those quoted words are all in upper case. The truth is that there was never any disobedience. Furthermore, the only directions given were given after FPS decided to give D a ticket. Also, there was no emergency. According to what's written on the ticket, the offense was 41 CFR 101-20.304(B). Years ago, D was unable to find that section on the Web (which may not matter). D guessed, perhaps wrongly, that that was the only offense for which he lawfully could have been prosecuted.

        D left America. Outside America, D waited for the notice of date and time of hearing. D received a notice in the mail. The notice was for citation G003102 /SY41, dated 28 March 2000. The offense, according to the notice, was "disobey direction of polic" (in upper case on the notice, without the "e" in police). In response to that notice, D went to America to appear in court.

        Defendant appeared on the time and date on that notice. In the first hearing, a continuance was granted to the second hearing. Court records of that hearing show two offenses:

        1. disobeying a direction by a police officer
        2. unwarranted loitering in the vicinity of 500 Pearl Street [D was busily working, systematically taking notes about cars which happened to be across the street from 500 Pearl Street. By the way, we guess that 500 Pearl Street may have had a plaza in front which was, and perhaps still is, great for legal loitering.]

        On the day of the second hearing, D entered the courtroom early. The prosecutor and judge were not there yet. D was in the area for the public. A uniformed, white, male FPS officer entered. He and D looked at each other. The officer briefly, vulgarly insulted D (fighting words). D said nothing. Then, the officer left the room. D never saw the officer again.

      3. trial

        The account below is approximate.

        D had mailed a discovery demand, which was ignored, and a follow-up discovery letter, also ignored. D wanted a copy of what the FPS took from him as evidence. The FPS, at the time of taking, explicitly called it evidence. That was the FPS's justification for taking it.

        D went to the courthouse, eventually found the offense (which we sometimes call infraction) office. This finding is described elsewhere in this website. D looked at the court file of his case.

        On trial day, D went to the courtroom. An FPS officer entered the courtroom, vulgarly insulted D in a manner seemingly intended to provoke D, then left the courtroom.

        Minutes later, prosecutor entered the courtroom. Defendant asked prosecutor to give the material previously demanded in discovery. The prosecutor (then maybe Andrew De Vore, now Andrew C. Devore) said, "Let's see what the judge says."

        Defendant and judge sat down near each other, ready for trial. A white woman walked over to prosecutor, then asked about the case. Prosecutor said that he had no witness, then shrugged as if were helpless to do anything. From what he said to the woman (which was not necessarily true), it was clear that he wanted to prosecute D but couldn't because there was no witness.

        Judge entered the courtroom. Prosecutor quickly moved for dismissal of the charge against D. Prosecutor briefly told facts and opinions to the judge to support the motion. Prosecutor did not mention lack of a witness. Prosecutor did not say that he would prosecute if he could win but he couldn't win without a witness (which was the essence of the prosecutor's statement to the woman). Prosecutor implied that he could win if the charge were not dismissed. Judge asked the defendant if he opposed the motion. The defendant said that he did not oppose. The motion was granted. In other words, the charge (accusation) against the defendant was dismissed.

        Prosecutor then moved that the court admonish the defendant. Prosecutor did not specify a law that D had broken. Prosecutor lied to the judge about what had happened when D had been taking notes of parked cars.

        Prosecutor's lies were on two levels.

        1. Prosecutor lied about facts to the judge. Prosecutor lied that D did this, that D did that, etc. Prosecutor's factual statements to the judge were flagrant lies.
        2. Prosecutor strongly implied that he knew those facts to be true. Prosecutor never said, for example, that he merely had read certain allegations in a report or that he had merely heard certain statements from alleged witnesses. Prosecutor did not say that he had percipient witnesses ready to testify that certain things had happened. Prosecutor strongly implied that he knew those facts to be true. The truth is that prosecutor did not know what had happened. He was even more ignorant than the FPOs. Prosecutor was appallingly ignorant of what had actually happened. He concealed his ignorance, pretending to the judge that he, the prosecutor, knew what had happened.

        We don't know how prosecutor prepared for his motion. We guess he talked with only one, maybe two, FPOs. We guess he didn't talk to all FPOs who had been there, or to non-FFS people who had been there.

        D had to respond to the admonition motion. D had a variety of possible responses.

        1. The only evidence against D was what the prosecutor had said. There was no other evidence. D could ask the court to swear the prosecutor in as a witness, then D could question the prosecutor. Quickly, the judge would see that the prosecutor was lying.
        2. This was just an offense case arising out of a ticket, a case in which the offense had been dismissed at the start of the hearing. The court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to admonish D for something other than misconduct as a litigant. A court might admonish a litigant for, for example, outrageous rudeness to another litigant. The admonition motion did not claim that D had misbehaved as a litigant. The court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to admonish D for alleged misconduct done before the ticket had been issued (which was the sole basis for the admonition motion). By the way, the court could admonish plaintiff USA for fighting words uttered in the courtroom a little before the trial began.
        3. The entire case had arisen out of a ticket. There was no probable cause to give the ticket.
        4. Plaintiff USA (United States of America) had still not complied with discovery. The court should compel plaintiff's compliance with discovery. When plaintiff complied with discovery, D would use the evidence to show that the admonition motion should be denied. By the way, plaintiff USA should be admonished for persistently not complying with discovery.
        5. D could defend on the facts. D could tell the judge all the facts about the note-taking, including D's intent and motive. Then, the court would see that the prosecutor had lied, and that D's conduct had been perfectly legal and polite. The result would be denial of the prosecutor's admonition motion.

        D had to decide which response or responses to use. D did not know why the admonition motion had been made. The motion seemed to be an attempt to get declaratory relief in a case arising out of a ticket. Maybe the prosecutor hoped that admonition would thwart any civil lawsuit D might later bring against the FPS officers or the prosecutor.

        When a lawyer makes a motion, the argument in court can go back and forth for a while. One side says something, the second side answers, the first side answers that, and so on. Eventually, either one side has nothing to say, or the judge decides he's heard enough. Then the judge decides the motion. The prosecutor had made a motion to admonish with some lies to support it. D then told a true history of what had happened: all important facts from the beginning to the end. D's thorough account was incompatible with the prosecutor's brief account. The judge then asked the prosecutor if he had anything to say. The prosecutor said no. The judge immediately denied the motion.

        It sometimes may be a crime to help or encourage people to do a crime. This should be borne in mind when receiving a request from FPS or the U.S. Attorney's Office.

      4. after trial

        Immediately after the trial, while still in the courtroom, prosecutor walked up to D. Prosecutor had a look on his face as if he were doing something distasteful. He then handed D a ticket: citation G 003103 (not 003102), which seems to be dated 28 March 2000, for "unauthorized loitering or assembly". After a ticket is given to a defendant, mail notice should be sent to him with date and time of hearing. D never got mail notice for that second ticket. The second ticket was given to D after he won (after the end of the second hearing). The charges in the court case that had just ended (one of which was based on the second ticket) were dismissed, the admonition motion was denied, then the prosecutor gave D a second ticket (the one for loitering). We are not expert in federal, criminal procedure. However, this case intentionally was not handled in accord with due process. Prosecutor Andrew De Vore was a crime partner of FPS officers. The second ticket was not given to D by FPS officers or other police. That ticket (officer name AHMAD, officer number 541) might have DeVore's fingerprints or DNA on it, we guess, because he handed it to D.

        We guess that D was not prosecuted for any crimes related to his handling of the case.

        Later after the trial, D resumed taking notes about cars in areas he had temporarily stopped taking notes in. First, D went to Duane Street roughly between Elm Street and Lafayette Streets. This was near the south side of the Javits federal office building. As D started taking notes, he saw supervisor, and supervisor saw him. The two people made eye contact. Neither spoke to the other. Supervisor walked away.

        Soon after supervisor walked away, while D was taking notes, an FPS officer walked over to D and started asking the usual questions (more or less: what are you doing, why are you doing that, etc.). D guessed that the officer was a light-skinned, black man. His height was average. D refused to answer and kept working. Supervisor emerged from the Javits building, then walked to officer. Supervisor's shirt had a pocket with a flap. The flap was designed so that normally it would be down, covering the opening at the top of the pocket. Supervisor had a badge (a name badge, maybe). The badge was slightly higher (closer to the shoulder) than the pocket. Supervisor's flap was up, thus blocking view of his badge. As a result, it was impossible for D to read supervisor's badge. D thought that supervisor had put the flap in the up position (which didn't look right) solely to make the badge impossible to read.

        Supervisor walked directly to officer, spoke quietly to officer, then left. Officer went very close to D, almost touching D. Wherever D went, officer stood extremely close but did not touch. D sat down on a bench on the north side of Duane, near the south side of a federal court concerned with international trade. Officer sat right beside him. Officer asked D what his occupation was. D gave officer D's business card, which stated D's occupation. Officer asked if that was really D's occupation, which was an insulting question. D did not answer. Officer asked that question a few more times. Eventually, D was just sitting silently on the bench, with the officer sitting silently beside D. After a while, officer went into the Javits building. Then, D resumed taking notes of cars.

        Near the TMC, FPOs and marshals do their work inadequately and criminally. They should not be allowed to do police work, especially if that work involves contact with ordinary people. Near the TMC, ordinary people are not protected from the Federal Protective Service and the Marshals Service.

        We don't know what internal affairs (of the FPS and USMS) does near the TMC. For example, we don't know how often internal affairs arrests and entraps there. Maybe FPS and USMS internal affairs is not supposed to arrest or entrap supervisors.

        FPS and USMS near TMC are valets of powerful officers of the government. USMS and FPS near TMC don't police judges and other powerful officers. For example, if you want to report a judge or federal prosecutor (to a federal law enforcement agency) for doing a crime near TMC, we suggest that you consider agencies other than FPS and USMS. Maybe IRS would be interested in a tax crime, maybe DEA in a drug crime, maybe FBI in some other crimes (bribery, for example). We guess you'd be wasting everyone's time telling FPS or USMS. In theory (but not in reality, we guess), USMS is in the forefront of investigating crimes by judges (or anyone else) done in federal courthouses. We urge you to fully obey the law. We have the right to our opinion as to the fruitfulness of reporting crime (done by powerful federal officers) to various agencies.

        If the account at cryptome.info/0001/gsa-assault.htm and www.flickr.com/photos/27669106@N08/sets/72157608247985133/ on 25 October 2008 are true and complete, the GSA officer may possibly have done misdemeanors (battery and fighting words) and a felony (although the Federal marshals were trying to hold the GSA officer back, he swung at the victim, which may have been a a kind of felonious resistance or disobedience to the marshals). Notice that the GSA officer seems neither to have been arrested nor even to have gotten a ticket. The marshals do not seem to have been treated even as an infraction (much less, a misdemeanor or felony). If the situation had been reversed, with a civilian in Richmond doing the violent crime to the GSA officer despite the marshals' trying to hold the civilian back, we think that the marshals would have ticketed or arrested the civilian. Our analysis of the GSA incident assumes, perhaps wrongly, that the account at the two Web sites is true and complete.

    3. FPO Small Talk in Manhattan Courthouse of Southern District of New York

      20 June 2000, Tuesday

      In the Pearl Street federal district courthouse for the southern district of New York, there is a waiting room for defendants waiting for an offense hearing. Offense hearings may result from tickets issued by an FPO. The waiting room is on about the 4th floor of the courthouse. FPOs (and other federal LEOs) sometimes chat in that waiting room before a court hearing. The waiting room is next to a court clerk room for clerical work related to those hearings.

      The FPO coordinator in the Pearl Street federal courthouse is officer Graziano. Has a Japanese ("Jap" was his word) motorcycle and ordered a Harley, which he hopes to ride home in January 2001. Graziano is short, white, gun-wearing, with big tattoos on both shoulders, extremely short hair, clean-shaven. His tattoos have feathers, lines, and "USMC". (Big, elaborate tatts designed to conceal earlier tatts?) His uniform has striped pants, decorative braid. His handgun has decorative braid connected to it (suggesting no intent to use the gun, further suggesting that the gun is not loaded?).

      FPO Potts is white, tall, brown hair medium length, hair falls over forehead.

      FPO Kippes is short, Oriental?, average length hair, clean-shaven, swarthy skin as if possibly Hispanic, black hair

      FPO Amnio? has gold and black hair, glasses, swarthy skin.

      FPO Graziano talked with some defendants before their lawyers arrived. A relatively high-ranking deputy clerk (white man) behind the counter noticed and protested to the FPO.

      BoP (federal Bureau of Prisons) C.O. (corrections officer) Robert Hahn may work in or near the federal house of detention jail at corner of Park and Pearl in the evening.

      federal officer (FPO?) Varega (spelling might be wrong), officer #1402, may park his car on the north side of Pearl Street near the federal House of Detention jail (main public entrance of the jail is at corner of Pearl and Park).

      Patrol officer S. Ahmad (maybe AHMND or AHMN). officer #41. He is a stupid, ignorant, inept, male FPO (Federal Protective Officer) who may (with his supervisor watching) happily take someone's valuable property without giving a receipt or returning the property, guffawing that the taken property is evidence, all evidence. (In response to the defendant's complaint on about 28 March 2000 that the property did not list all of the property taken, Ahmad's supervisor [a short, plump, grinning, white man] said that receipts are not issued for evidence. The "evidence" was never used or mentioned in any hearing or other court proceeding. The defendant's discovery requests, which centrally dealt with the "evidence", were all ignored or refused. On trial day, the case against the defendant was dismissed at the government's request. The "evidence" was never returned. The defendant understands the humor in designating his property as "evidence".) Ahmad sometimes is in the FPS office on the first floor of the Javits federal office building, in downtown Manhattan. He is a dark-skinned Caucasian (Indian subcontinent ancestry?). If he issues a ticket with his supervisor watching: the defendant may be factually innocent (actually, truly, genuinely innocent), the offense charged (in other words, the code section number) may not exist, the offense description may not correspond to the offense charged. He lies in writing on government forms. He works in the evening.

      J.H. Dawes and Sgt. Paul Naylitt are approximate names of FPS supervisors who work in Manhattan.

      In the above-mentioned waiting room although not necessarily on the above-mentioned date, FPOs (FPS police officers) laughed as they fondly recounted one of their victims pathetically calling the NYPD police for help with FPOs who, the victim said, were "... out of control ....".

    4. Photographing the Exterior of a Fedeal Office Building in Manhattan, 7 May 2010
      1. Persistent Ignorance

        Much of the misconduct described above was done by FPS officers at and near 26 Federal Plaza (Jacob K. Javits Federal Building), a federal government office building which is operated by GSA and which occupies an entire block in lower Manhattan, New York City. It is common for members of the public to walk past that building and to enter it. On about 7 May 2010, John Young of cryptome.org stood and walked outside 26 Federal Plaza. He was where the public has a right to walk and often does walk, as he photographed what was in plain view: the outside of the building, including Delta Barrier at the entrance to 26 Federal Plaza Security Zone. According to Young:

        A security guard said, no taking of photographs, this is federal property, including sidewalks." Another guard said, "photographs can be taken, freedom of information, you know."

        The conversation above was not from the FPS version of the movie, Dumb and Dumber. The conversation above actually occurred. Neither of the two, clueless officers above is able to analyze the situation. In analyzing whether an activity is a federal crime, the first step is to presume that it isn't. It is presumed that the law if obeyed. Federal crimes are codified. Each crime has a number. If one officer says that an activity (for example, photographing 26 Federal Plaza) is a crime, a sceptic might respond by asking for the section number of the supposed crime. There is no number because the behavior is not a federal crime. That's the analysis. It's simply not a crime. If two clueful people discuss whether Young's photography is a crime, freedom of information would not be mentioned. By the way, the first FPS officer (the one who forbad taking of photographs), and perhaps the second one also, may not have known photographer Young's motive for photographing. Maybe someone takes photographs to get color samples for clothing he will manufacture. Maybe, for example, the yellow in the Delta Barrier (at the entrance to 26 Federal Plaza Security Zone) will be used in sweaters the photographer plans to manufacture. Maybe someone is taking photographs to guide him in writing a novel about how a prisoner escapes from 26 Federal Plaza. Maybe an architect is told to design a building that will be architecturally harmonious with nearby buildings. So, to prepare for his work, he takes many color photographs of the exteriors of nearby buildings. Maybe a photographer (on the sidewalk, or on the plaza in front of the main entrance of 26 Federal Plaza) is a tourist taking photographs of nearby tourist sites. Maybe the photographer wants to illustrate an article he's writing about illegal and incompetent work by FPS officers.

        In any event, it's good for Young that the second guard was there. Once a guard gives tickets or arrests an innocent person, the guard is unlikely to admit that his ignorance caused the innocent person's misfortune. A decade after the events of 2000, at least one of the guards who work there still has the law backwards.

        Incidentally, the Young incident raises a question of how televison photographers are treated by FPS officers at that site. Consider a TV reporter in the curtilage of the building (26 Federal Plaza) or in the plaza at the main entrance of the building. He speaks into a microphone as a TV photographer videos him with the buildign as a backdrop. Thus, the photography violates the first guard's prohiobition two ways: the photography is being done on the building premises, the building's exterior is being photographed. It would be interesting to know if TV photographers get the same prohibition which the first guard gave Young.

      2. GSA Officer in Richmond in October 2008

        FPS was part of GSA although now it is part of DHS. A GSA officer at the United States Post Office and Custom House in Richmond, Virginia, in October 2008 (a seemingly left-handed, beardless, white smoker) supposedly tried to violently attack a tourist, and had to be physically restrained to prevent him from doing so, according to statements at cryptome.info/0001/gsa-assault.htm and www.flickr.com/photos/27669106@N08/sets/72157608247985133/. The GSA crime started when "This GSA guy ... told me to stop taking pictures.", according to a supposed witness.

        We discuss the GSA officer on our GSA page.

      3. Why Are FPS Officers so Ignorant?

        After the evens in 2000 which we describe above, there were massacres on 11 September 2001. This led to attempts to improve FPS. On 1 November 2001, there was a Congressional hearing: Hrg. 107-662, Review Of The Nation's Infrastructure Security, Hearing Before The Committee On Environment And Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Seventh Congress (First Session On Ensuring The Security, Protection, And Preservation Of Public Works, Utilities, And Economic Zones Against Terrorist Attacks), afternoon of 1 November 2001, room 406, Senate Dirksen Building. We read hearing testimony in a PDF file 81717.pdf, which we downloaded from the Web.

        At that hearing, there was concern about the qualifications, competence, and training of FPS staff. Joe Moravec (Commissioner, Public Building Service, General Services Administration) testified for FPS. According to page 14 of the PDF file cited above, he said, "While most of our current managers have Federal, military, or local police training and experience, those who do not have law enforcement training will be sent to the Leadership Academy Law Enforcement Course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, GA, to attain these necessary skills.". Notice that:

        1. Some FPS managers in 2001 did not have law enforcement training. Moravec seems to imply that they were not a majority. In any event, they do not have what Moravec described as "necessary skills".
        2. Those managers that did have law enforcement training got it in the military or some other, non-FPS setting. Furthermore, regarding the managers who did have law enforcement training, Moravec did not talk about the quality or amount of the training.

        Commissioner Moravec, as far as we know, was silent about whether low-ranking FPS officers (non-managers who actually do the work) had any law enforcement training, even from a military or other non-FPS source. By the way, whether someone may systematically photograph a building's exterior on a military base is not the same question as whether a civilian may do so at 26 Federal Plaza.

        In conclusion, FPS officers were inadequately trained and were supervised by inadequately trained managers. FPS work was characterized by pervasive, persistent, gross incompetence. It is inevitable that FPS officers often broke the law in 2000.

        In 2009, the federal government's GAO (General Accounting Office) investigated FPS and then severely criticized FPS in reports and testimony. For example, in a 23 September 2009 report, "Homeland Security", GAO wrote,

        radiation sign

        alegri

        "GAO found that many FPS guards do not have the training and certifications required to stand post at federal facilities in some regions. For example, in one region, FPS has not provided the required 8 hours of X-ray or magnetometer training to its 1,500 guards since 2004. [Read below on this Web page about the FPS incident involving an infant who went through an X-ray machine.] GAO also found that FPS does not have a fully reliable system for monitoring and verifying whether guards have the training and certifications required to stand post at federal facilities. In addition, FPS has limited assurance that guards perform assigned responsibilities (post orders). Because guards were not properly trained and did not comply with post orders, GAO investigators with the components for an improvised explosive device concealed on their persons, passed undetected through access points controlled by FPS guards at 10 of 10 level IV facilities in four major cities where GAO conducted covert tests."
        The quoted paragraph is typical of GAO reports of FPS.

        There is a common kind of security machine in which an object (for example, a suitcase) is put on a conveyor belt, the object goes to and then through an X-ray area of the machine, and the object then emerges on the other side of the X-ray area. The object receives much more radiation than is recommended for people. There is a GAO publication: GAO (United States Government Accountability Office), Testimony Before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, "Homeland Security", Statement of Mark L. Goldstein (Director Physical Infrastructure Issues), 8 July 2009. According to Goldstein: at a federal facility which has child care services, an infant in a carrier was sent through an X-ray machine because of an FPS guard's negligence. Because the guard was not paying attention and the machine's safety features had been disabled [we think that "disabled" means broken], the infant in the carrier was sent through the X-ray machine. FPS dismissed the guard. The guard later sued FPS for not providing the required X-ray training. The guard won the suit because FPS could not produce any documentation to show that the guard had received the training, according to an FPS official. In addition, FPS officials from that region could not tell GAO whether the X-ray machine's safety features had been repaired. Goldstein did not say if FPS apologized to the baby's mother. This kind of event, which would be funny if it were in a movie, is typical of FPS.

        Then and now, there is no government agency which protects the public from FPS officers. FPS managers (many of whom are themselves incompetent) often wrongly tell lower-ranking FPS officers that they do their work well. Praise and satisfactory work evaluations prolong and even magnify the problem.

    5. The Future

      2 January 2012

      At a much higher level in the government than the boss of FPS, FPOs are thought to do less important police work than do law enforcement officers in many, other, federal agencies. An example of common FPO work is issuing parking tickets, which makes FPOs comparable to meter maids. Another, common FPU kind of work is keeping federal office buildings safe (for example, by patrol and by operating metal-detectors). Much of that work is done by security guards employed by businesses with FPS contracts, and much of that work is done by FPOs. This makes FPOs comparable to security guards emplyed by businesses. At a high level of the federal government, the current quality of FPOs is considered appropriate in light of the low sophistication of their work. Therefore, FPOs and FPS management are doomed to remain approximately as bad they now are.
