In the complaint, MCU's Assistant General Counsel asked that the Michigan Dept of Labor & Economic Growth "take immediate steps to issue a cease and desist letter to Media Sentry Demanding that they cease their ongoing investigations of Michigan residents until such time as they are properly licensed by the state."
Until earlier this year MediaSentry themselves had promoted their services for "gathering information for civil/criminal litigation." In February their website was suddenly edited to remove references to their investigations. Conveniently this happened as a wave of allegations that their activities were illegal.
