For now it seems they were very careful about the constitutional limits and were mostly interested in tracking what Anon was up to. Most of that was from publicly available MSM articles. Mos of the other stuff about OWS was discussing how to answer press questions about security at federal buildings and the conspiracy theory that DHS orchestrated the nationwide crackdown on OWS camps (which they didn’t). I did find it interesting that much of the discussion was about protecting protesters rights. It seems they were very careful.
