[This report] - based on reviews of records from 95 court cases, hundreds of pages of government documents, and interviews with defense attorneys as well as current and former US officials - explains how parallel construction works and summarizes the available evidence suggesting the practice is both common and used by a wide range of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. One of the key agencies is the Drug Envofcement Administration's special Operations Division, at least part of which has been nicknamed the "Dark Side." 610 10 $a United States. $b Drug Enforcement Administration $x Rules and practice. 650 0 $a Electronic surveillance $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Evidence, Criminal $z United States $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Law and secrecy $z United States. 710 2 $a Human Rights Watch (Organization), $e publisher. $e publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Dark side 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190314022658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8235A4A840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
