- Florida wildlife agency targeted its critics for secret surveillance
Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) secretly investigated critics of its policies, including opponents of a bear hunt, by accessing their driving records and using highway surveillance cameras to track their movements. The agency's chair, Rodney Barreto, admitted to the practice but dismissed it as routine, despite no criminal investigations being active against the targets.
