NJ finds NYPD Muslim surveillance is legal
Posted: May 24, 2012 3:36 PM by Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Gov. Chris Christie's administration has concluded that New York City police did not violate New Jersey laws when they conducted surveillance of Muslim businesses, mosques and student groups in the state.
Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa (kee-AY'-sah), a Christie appointee, is holding meetings Thursday in Trenton with Muslim leaders to discuss the findings of a three-month review. The Associated Press obtained a summary of the findings.
The attorney general says the New York Police Department has agreed to meet regularly with New Jersey law enforcement to exchange information about its operations. But New Jersey prosecutors say no law requires the NYPD to notify state officials of its activities.
Muslim leaders want a formal investigation and a clampdown on cross-border operations by the NYPD.
