Franklin cites FBI hiring burglars to bug gamblers in Nevada
Assembly testimony from Dist Atty George Franklin alleges the FBI once hired professional burglars to bug high stake gamblers in Nevada during Gov Sawyer’s era. He describes wiretap practices, past local law enforcement bugs, and notes the bill would let agencies intercept with court consent or later approval while linking action to organized crime. The panel postponed action to compare with federal law but recommended AB-553 stop and frisk.
