Never mind actually acting on the information, the tracking, by itself, should be an instant firing offense for every single pig involved!

Yeah I had similar thoughts when I saw this in the article:

The fusion center, housed inside the Philadelphia Police Department, warned that “disruptive First Amendment activity” is an “indicator” of risk from “Domestic Violent Extremists,” an expansive term favored by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

We really do live in a dystopia

Not as much of an indicator as the oresence of a police officer is.
