Two years ago, RCMP officers spying on an alleged ring of extremists in Quebec took notice when one suspect warned on a gun culture podcast about “another Waco.” But another part of his online chat raised more immediate concerns.
Besides talking about the deadly 1993 clash between law enforcement and cult members in Waco, Tex., the suspect had mentioned that he wanted to change the tires and suspension of his Toyota Tacoma pickup.
For two months, the Mounties had been tracking the man’s movement with a GPS beacon hidden inside his truck. His automotive upgrade plans could potentially have exposed the police surveillance operation.
Good Lord. I am not sure which side is the most amateur yet.
