INTERPOL in America
Jason Bourne, Ethan Hunt, James Bond.
What do they all have in common?
Well of course they are all fictional spies who fight “evil” across the globe. But more importantly they all, at some point, interact with a an organization called INTERPOL (International Police). This group, which has been a mainstay of spy movies dating all the way back to the fifties (and maybe before) is actually quite real.
INTERPOL operates in hundreds of countries and in many of them their authority supersedes those of local law enforcement.
And now they are coming to America, with a vengeance.
Executive Order 12425 gives INTERPOL full diplomatic immunity, a privilege not even enjoyed by the police at the city, state, or even federal levels here. And, by the way: No Freedom of Information Act applies to them (documents can be kept secret by them – forever).
Ronald Reagan had officially recognized INTERPOL, but with substantial safeguards. Some of those safeguards, it appears, have now been removed.
Let’s see how this develops.
If it develops.
