vonsider that kevin mccaffrey president of the gang, teamsters local 707,  could not tolerate union members and members of the public from disling in to listen to a telephone conference on monday March 30  before the public employment relations board.  no need for encrypted communications or a code of silence. the voice of the union's high priced errand boy was not even heard by union members.  the administrative law judge  asked those who dialed in to identify themselves. they were all so afraid of the union headed by a government officisl that they bowed out. sini and hart never experienced a federal court judge demanding the id of spectstors in a court proceeding. the teamsters were not under a fedeal consent decree for years because they were a docial club of choir boys?

Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini on Thursday urged the Department of Justice to continue pushing tech companies to provide law enforcement with encrypted communications of suspected gang members and other criminals, saying the issue is integral to combating MS-13 on Long Island.

Sini, testifying via teleconference Thursday before the DOJ's Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, cited a joint investigation last year between his office and federal officials in which 215 phone lines were wiretapped. He said the wiretap, which resulted in the arrests of 96 suspected MS-13 gang members and associates, illustrates what's at stake. 

"Our ability to effectively conduct this type of surveillance is currently hampered by the use of encryption and other tools to thwart law enforcement’s lawful efforts to obtain evidence of criminal wrongdoing," Sini said, testifying along with Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart.
