Talk show host and member of New Hampshire’s liberty movement Ian Freeman is in court facing charges stemming from a couch located in his front yard.
Mr. Freeman is about to take his seat when his name is called out causing him to hesitate. This infuriates Judge Burke who begins screaming, “Have a seat. Have a seat.” When Mr. Freeman dare take a few seconds to sit down Burke losses control and has his seven armed thugs intimidate the gallery and arrest the arch couch criminal Ian Freeman.
The judge was so furious he gave Mr. Freeman 90 days in jail for his infraction of not moving quickly enough when the feudal lord of the court room spoke. This type of thuggery and intimidation has become common place in American court rooms.
Mr. Freeman was released 3 days later when the news of this abuse of power became public.
In just another all too frequent example of police thuggery Newark, New Jersey Police officer attacks CBS 2 cameraman at peaceful protest.
Channel 2 News reporter Christine Sloan and her cameraman were covering a peaceful march by parents who’s children were murdered in the streets of New Jersey when a Newark police officer drunk on power interrupts and gives the media an unlawful order to stop filming. When the cameraman does not react quickly enough to the officers demands his expensive camera gets knocked to the ground and he is cuffed.
Christine Sloan reporter for CBS News 2 tells Newark the cop to stop his illegal behavior. The police officer responds, “I can do whatever I want.”
Witnesses confirmed there was no apparent reason for the officers actions.
These types of illegal incidents are becoming standard operating procedure for law enforcement departments across America. There is a culture of corruption and covering up for bad deeds conducted by fellow officers. You can be sure if there were no cameras to capture the crime the cameraman would be charged and convicted.
Even with witnesses and photographic evidence the police applied the catch all charge of “Disorderly Conduct” a tactic frequently used to cover up for police misconduct.
The world economy may be crumbling and families everywhere struggle to pay the mortgage and put food on the table but governments world wide have millions of tax payer dollars to spend on surveillance equipment.
It has just been announced that all police in the UK will be issued BlackBerry size mobile fingerprint units at a cost of $50 to $70 million dollars US.
Officers will use the devices to screen anyone they deem not able to identify themselves fully by other means. No longer will you have the any right to privacy as you walk down a street or visit a public venue.
Proponents of the portable fingerprint devices claim civil liberties are not a risk because according to them there will be no records kept or database compiled on the fingerprints taken. However they completely contradict themselves by saying the fingerprints taken will be checked against a data base which holds 7.5 million individuals.
To somehow believe that these devices do not violate civil liberties because the authorities who are self regulated and self policed promise not to compile a database is patently absurd.
The absolute propaganda and deceit of the people promoting these authoritarian control methods are just beyond compare. In their words they will promise that these devices will only be used on individuals who are committing an offense and in their next breath tell reporters these mobile finger print scanners will be used for policing big public occasions, sporting events, festivals and political rallies.
The real purpose of arming state enforcers with these devices is to remind the people that they are owned and are subject to inventory control any time they step from their home to move about in public.
Manufactured by Northrop Grumman the portable device also contain a camera for facial recognition which is the next phase of identifying and controlling where and when the public is able to travel.
This program began well over a decade ago and has had numerous pilot programs in the UK and the United States.
Thomas Smith, an officer from the Los Angeles police department, also briefed the Biometrics 2008 conference on the success of his force’s mobile ID devices which send images and fingerprint matches back to officers on the street said, “Our next thing will be facial recognitionin the field.”
Those who dream about having Big Brother watch your every move are beginning to realized their vision as technology has caught up with their ideology of top down control of society. A corner piece of this new dystopian society is video surveillance.
As roads, bridges and water systems decay and crumble cities and towns all over America are investing public funds to install photo radar devices. These so called photo radar should have another name since they digitally record full motion video 24 hours a day, many with audio. This data is then streamed into centralized data bases that can be access by state, local and federal authorities.
Installed under the guise of speed enforcement or enhance safety it won’t be long before they are used for other enforcement activities. I am sure the Department of Homeland Security would have like thousands of these devices in Denver and Minneapolis this year during the Democratic and Republican conventions.
After the decision is made and tax money spent local boards and government will send out press releases or set up websites claiming the citizens asked for the cameras to be installed or that there are reports that these camera reduce accidents and of course they will invoke the catchall save the children defense which has become ubiquitous reasoning for all government intervention into our lives.
In reality local level governments are motivated by the revenue these cameras generate. On a busy stretch of road it is not uncommon for a single camera to issue over 1000 citations a day.
On the national level it is all about creating a surveillance web of control and dominance over the masses.
Australian owned company Redflex is looking forward to expanding it’s electronic surveillance grid against American citizens.“We are moving into areas such as homeland security on a national level and on a local level,” Redflex regional director Cherif Elsadek said. “Optical character recognition is our next roll out.”
And if you think people are being paranoid or conspiracy theorists when they say this system of cameras will be used to track a single vehicle over long stretches of roads and even from state to state read what else Redflex’s regional director has to say.
“Imagine if you had 1500 or 2000 cameras out there that could look out for the partial plate or full plate number across the 21 states where we do business today,” Elsadek said. “This is the next step for our technology.”
Perhaps the last defense for the American driver is to use a product to shield their plate from the all seeing eye of the camera lens. Many drivers in towns and cities inundated with this spy technology have been fighting back with a spray called Photblocker, for around $26 you can purchase this product and spray on your license plate, it is undetectable to the human eye but will blur the image so your plate is unrecognizable.
Numerous studies have shown that while these devices do indeed take millions a year from drivers pockets they do not reduce accidents. Washington Post writers Del Wilber and Derek Willis have exposed this lie told by pushers of spy technology. In there study they conclusively showed that collision nearly doubled at intersection in the District regardless if those intersections had photo radar or not.
There does not appear to be a link between the cameras and the increase in accidents but the evidence proved these devices do not reduce injuries or collisions.
“The data are very clear,” said Dick Raub, a traffic consultant and a former senior researcher at Northwestern University’s Center for Public Safety. “They are not performing any better than intersections without cameras.”
The next time you roll through an intersection with photo radar, will your tail be exposed?
