A. Covert Investigations Involving First Amendment Activities.
(1) The Department may not conduct a covert investigation of a person, a group, or an organization engaged in First Amendment activities unless the Secretary or designee makes a written finding that the covert investigation is justified because it is based on a reasonable, articulable suspicion that the person, group, or organization is planning or engaged in criminal activity and a less intrusive method of investigation is not likely to yield satisfactory results.
(2) The written finding shall, if possible, be made in advance of the initiation of the covert investigation or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
(3) Membership or participation in a group or organization engaged primarily in First Amendment activities does not alone constitute reasonable, articulable suspicion of criminal activity justifying a covert investigation.
(4) Reports.
(a) It is the responsibility of the sworn Criminal Intelligence Section (CIS) supervisor to ensure that all activities are properly reported and documented by the covert operative.
(b) A report shall be prepared on the approved Department form for each and every incident of contact between the covert operative and the target of the investigation.
(c) A report shall be submitted as soon as possible, but in no case later than 2 working days after the contact. Further delay in the submission of these reports requires the approval from the sworn CIS supervisor.
(d) Each report shall be reviewed and evaluated by the sworn CIS supervisor to determine if there is a continuing need to conduct the covert investigation involving First Amendment activities.
(e) The report shall be reviewed not later than 5 working days after its submission, and the decision whether or not to continue with the investigation shall be made in writing and include the reasons for continuing or discontinuing the investigation.
(5) An investigation involving First Amendment activities shall be terminated when logical leads have been exhausted or no legitimate law enforcement objective justifies the continuation of the investigation.
