Subject: the more information you give them...
{Oh, thick skulled dolts! The
more information you give them, the more they can harrass and punatively DUNN
YOU! Traffic light cameras? Your Driver`s License, Especially the IRS 1040,
Medical and Military Records, and NOW ADD NEW Obama-Care IRS
forms which will specifically PENALIZE YOU. AND, now license plate
"readers" which can indirectly tell the officer YOU are a likely
concealed "gun carrier", dope smoker,alcoholic, ex-pedophile,
gang member - linked to NSA? [Ha! Are You a "gang member"?
!!!] . Here it is;
Incidentally, Truck Drivers went
into "illegal gun cities" with pistols, shotguns, and god knows what
FOR YEARS and the police NEVER - to my knowledge bothered to enforce
the local laws on them! I myself did it rarely. L.}
I have maintained for quite some time that the network of "sensors" and cameras showing up all over our freeways (including here in NW Florida) are not, as claimed, simply about traffic monitoring but in fact have a second, far-more-nefarious purpose -- tying them into automated vehicle recognition software that allows the government to track anyone in real time no matter where they go.
Looks like I was right.
The
Justice Department has acknowledged constructing a database to track the
movements of millions of vehicles across the U.S. in real time.
The
program, whose existence was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, is
primarily overseen by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to combat drug
trafficking near the U.S.-Mexico border. However, government emails indicate
that the agency has been working to expand the database throughout the United
States over the past several years.
This may be Constitutional but the question really ought to be whether we want to live in such a nation, and whether we are going to put up with this sort of crap.
It is not the use today of such technologies, it is what they enable over time, and the fact that it takes very little in the way of a government shift for this to go from being used to, for example, find people who abduct kids or run drugs to a 100% surveillance state where you cannot go anywhere without being monitored, tied into a "pre-crime" system of analysis that harasses people without cause and in direct violation of your rights.
This is already happening -- there are reports of people traveling in states that do not honor CCW permits, for example, being pulled over for no reason other than an automated scan of their plate by a cop's vehicle flags them as having a CCW permit in another state and having their vehicle torn apart looking for the (non-existent) gun.
By the way...
Even
now, John Filippidis has no idea how the officer learned about his
concealed-carry permit, and the MTAP isn’t saying.
I'll tell you how -- if you have a CWP it shows up when your driver license record is run, and that's tied to your vehicle registration, of course. Cops in many jurisdictions have automated license-plate scanning cameras in their cars and as such it is a good bet that the MTAP officer had the fact that this guy had a CWP pop up on his screen unprompted.
