<p style="margin:1em auto">Willi,</p>
<p style="margin:1em auto">Right before militarized police advanced on activists at the No Dakota Access Pipeline (#NoDAPL) protests last week, protestors cell phone signals suddenly disappeared. Their lifeline to the rest of the world was gone.</p>
<p><strong>If the police at Standing Rock cut their cell signals it would be a MAJOR legal violation.</strong></p>
<p style="margin:1em auto">The law is crystal clear: It's illegal to jam cell phone signals. And spying on protesters without probable cause violates the Fourth Amendment.</p>
<p><strong>The only way to find out what's going on is for the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to launch an immediate investigation - and stop any illegal actions they uncover.</strong></p>
<p style="margin:1em auto"><strong><a href="http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/tell-fcc-investigate-cell-phone-jamming-and-spying-standing-rock/?source=demandprogress&t=3&akid=4871.2253578.4RTxr8">Tell the FCC: Launch an investigation into cell phone jamming
and spying at Standing Rock!</a></strong></p>
<p style="margin:1em auto">For years, activists have been standing with the Standing Rock Sioux Nation to protect their sacred lands and drinking water from the massive DAPL crude oil pipeline.</p>
<p style="margin:1em auto"><strong>The mainstream media has largely ignored their efforts, so posting cell phone footage of their peaceful protests - and confrontations with police - online has become their lifeline to document police abuses.</strong></p>
<p style="margin:1em auto">And because the Standing Rock Sioux Nation operates its own cell phone tower, it's unlikely that these timely cell phone disruptions are from bandwidth overload.</p>
<p style="margin:1em auto">Instead, experts are saying that the sudden breakdown in wireless signal could be a result of police illegally jamming cell phone signals, or using "stingray" surveillance devices that disrupt cell phone signals.<sup style="font-size:70%">1</sup></p>
<p style="margin:1em auto"><strong>The FCC is the only agency with the authority to require law enforcement to reveal if they're using wireless spying devices.</strong></p>
<p>If the FCC finds illegal abuses by the police, it has the power to stop them.</p>
<p><strong>With tensions between protestors and police escalating by the minute, the FCC needs to open an investigation NOW.</strong> </p>
<p style="margin:1em auto"><strong><a href="http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/tell-fcc-investigate-cell-phone-jamming-and-spying-standing-rock/?source=demandprogress&t=4&akid=4871.2253578.4RTxr8">Tell the FCC: Launch an investigation into cell phone jamming
