In the event that Gov Ops searches a person’s home, these rules mean that the person 1) must keep the entry a secret, 2) cannot seek outside help (unless necessary for fulfilling the request, the law says), and 3) could face criminal charges if Gov Ops deems them uncooperative.

This is a blatant violation of multiple constitutional rights. No wonder they want it kept secret, they're building the Gestapo. They're dismantling American liberty in favor of over fascism.

A third provision will allow legislators to “determine…whether a record is a public record.” Legislators can now decide to “retain, destroy, sell, loan, or otherwise dispose of'' their documents.

Sell?? Oh come on they aren't even trying to pretend

This is blatantly unconstitutional.

GOP says they hate big government. Also creates bigger and more powerful government police agencies.

If you work at any public university in North Carolina, start working on an exit plan. Though the wording of "indirect" public funds is so broad there's not much this wouldn't extend to in some way.
