He is in the wrong. According to the KUAM news site, Federal Law, Privacy Act of 1980 protects News Organizations from identifying their sources or being investigated. This is nothing more than Censorship. A move more likely linked with the German Nazi's, Italian Marxists, Soviet Communists.
Is this what has become of our territorial police department? They're on some kind of egotistical power trip.
I have friends in the police department, civilians and uniformed officers. They are good people. Unfortunately, this heavy handed move has put a black eye on the work of the good people in the department.
If there is a leak in the police department. Which is very apparent due to the news that KUAM broke, a couple of days ago. Then Suba has to look into his department for that leak. To involve the very news organization in his investigation breaks a federal law and cries of Communism. It will be very interesting where these series of events will lead us on this island.
Police Chief Paul Suba has no recourse now, but to resign. He's egotistic control of the department must be levied. His cowboy approach to a suspect car that ended up in the river, a couple of months ago, screams loud of his lack of respect for the territorial resident. He's an out of control cowboy who wants to get hazardous pay. He forgets, He is the Chief of Police, not a regular patrol officer.
If we let this go, who is next in Chief Suba's Crosshairs? The PDN, Pacific News Center, or will it be Uncle Kin and Auntie Mary's car, ending up in a river.
I'm sorry but the Libertarian came out of me as I read up more on this incident.
