Do thing in the US really work like movies and TV series? Do agents really flash their badges to identify themselves... That seems so unsecure, regarding the possibility to fake them... I wonder if I asked an agent to read the info besides their badges, if there are any, they'd probably lock me upo for disrepect...

So now the FBI has essentially marketed itself and everyone and their mother will be checking out the wiki entry. Then there's all those douches that will take up the idea - that the FBI gave them - to make fake badges. Win?

True. At a military base a FBI was doing an investigation and called my phone and only said "Give me your SSN or your going to jail". No explaining who he was just that. It ended up I was in hand cuffs for half an hour for disrespect and hindering an investigation... until I asked if I could speak to a layer.

This is so stupid and a waste a tax money. Even if it doesn’t go to court its already taken how many man hours from the FBI. Hope someone gets fired over this at the FBI

WE THE PEOPLE.

Hey FBI, the citizens OWN you. STFU? You work for US. Not for the government. We OWN the government. This is the problem with democracy today. Government employees don't seem to realize what SERVICE means. You take the jobs you have TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. You are not "ABOVE" the people, they are in fact your BOSSES. Forget your six figured salaries. It should be illegal to get paid more than required to live fairly well when you're SERVING the American Public. The majority of government employees claim they are willing to give their lives for their country but are we even honest and open with those we swear to protect?

I don't think the FBI logo being put online puts you at risk. Even if it did, your job REQUIRES YOU to be at risk, hence the SERVICE. Buck up and act like MEN (and women).

Signed,

A proud member of the United States Military

P.S. Don't try to hack/trace me, I'm at a friend's house - and he's trained to endure torture too.

Whoever in the FBI decides to press this and takes this to court is a dimwit and I have to wonder who hired them. If they actually win (and they sure as hell better not) then it is a really sad day for America and another nail in the coffin that proves democracy is no longer relevant. We need to trim the Fed big time and give the power back to the people at the state and local level.

It just blows my mind that the States should ever have to ask the Federal government for money. The Fed should have to ask the States. Crazy.

It's my logo, no it's mine and you can not use it, waaaa, waaaaa.
Now lets go use the built in back doors built into Windows (Thanks NSA & MS) and snoop around some computers.

You can thank the 17th amendment for the current state of affairs. The states lost their voice in the government.

Wow....the FBI has nothing better to do huh? Not one single thing more important to occupy their time.

That's comforting....
