In several official venues, not one of these people has ever answered my question - some won't even stand around long enough to make eye contact - as to the mechanism for expunging something if it's been run to ground and found bogus, let alone how they view their charter to do domestic intelligence collection on US persons. The attitude depicted below is, in my experience, reflective of my conversations (or attempted ones) on this topic. It's all for your safety - and all data points are eventually important.

Fusion center director: We don’t spy on Americans, just anti-government Americans
Published time: March 29, 2013 20:35
Law enforcement intelligence-processing fusion centers have long come under attack for spying on Americans. The Arkansas director wanted to clarify the truth: centers only spies on some Americans – those who appear to be a threat to the government.
In trying to clear up the ‘misconceptions’ about the conduct of fusion centers, Arkansas State Fusion Center Director Richard Davis simply confirmed Americans’ fears: the center does in fact spy on Americans – but only on those who are suspected to be ‘anti-government’.
“The misconceptions are that we are conducting spying operations on US citizens, which is of course not a fact. That is absolutely not what we do,” he told the NWA Homepage, which supports KNWA-TV and Fox 24.
After claiming that his office ‘absolutely’ does not spy on Americans, he proceeded to explain that this does not apply to those who could be interpreted as a ‘threat’ to national security. Davis said his office places its focus on international plots, “domestic terrorism and certain groups that are anti-government. We want to kind of take a look at that and receive that information.”

Sure glad he cleared that up.
