Is GIS Spying?

May 28th, 2009 by Cindy

As you know, I had a REALLY trying week-and on Thursday, I woke up and thought I had the swine flu-my head was pounding, my throat was burning, I ached all over-but I know it was stress and the pollen-deadly combination.

Now I did go over to the Cheshire Police Department and get the call logs for Thursday, May 21-the date I THOUGHT the police drove to my house to question me about the Bank of America non event.

I know some of you still want to go over to the Bank of America in Cheshire to protest-I know Val does, she got rejected AGAIN for her home equity loan so she is even more upset and I don’t blame her.

I know she will move on-but I do agree that Bank of America and these other banks need to get a taste of their own lending medicine and then they would know how it feels to work hard all your life and get told your credit is trash because THEY GOT BURNED BY BAD INVESTMENTS SO THEY TAKE IT OUT ON THE LITTLE GUY!!

Wouldn’t it be nice if the US GOVERNMENT TOLD BANK OF AMERICA THEIR CREDIT WAS CRAP AND THEY COULD NOT GET ANY MORE BAILOUT MONEY!!

THAT IS WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN!!

Anyway, if any of you do go down there with signs, DO NOT BLOCK anyone and things should be fine. This town needs a little kick in the ass-it is DEAD!! So a few loud people won’t hurt anyone-they are not wax, they won’t melt.

All I can tell you is-somebody sure moved fast on May 20th-I thought it was the 21st but I was corrected by the woman at the records department!! Not like something else-and don’t think I don’t know-my spouses friend works for the FBI!!

ENOUGH SAID.

I did get the summary logs and only saw when the cops went to the bank of america to investigate a “suspicous motor vehicle” What a bunch of malarky!!

First of all-I said on my blog we would probably go down to the bank-and we did-my girlfriend even told them at the 800 number she was thinking about going with a sign. It is funny, they did not seem to care!!

And um what type of bank is it that you cannot contact any of the local branches??

You can’t with Bank of America-that in itself says volumes.

Now according to the Cheshire Police Department Roll Call Summary for 5/20/09 the Bank Manager contacted the police about our supposed :suspicious activity with motor vehicle” on 10: 56 a.m.

Well, ask yourself a question-we drive up into the drive through-NO OTHER CAR IS THERE-we stay for a few minutes TOP, the bank teller says hello hello-we don’t say anything-then she calls for the manager-she says “can I help you” a few times, THEN WE LEAVE!!

Why is that suspicious?? What if their microphones weren’t working?? Did they think of that?? Boy they jumped to conclusions fast THIS TIME!!

They knew we were going to go down there-we did not hide anything-no one got disrupted-and we left–GET A LIFE!!

Now, when I looked at the Summary Roll Call log for later in the afternoon-I did see that the police conducted a “supplementary investigation” at 14:18 which is 2 18 p.m. No report was written-but a report was written about our supposed suspicious vehicle at the bank.

When some people in the minority community had an issue with Bank of America a few years ago-they made their presence known loud and clear-we did not even do that-we stayed a few minutes to make our point and left!!

More recently, a group of citizens in Northampton, Mass picketed LOUDLY outside of Bank of America protesting the bailout money B of A used to BUY MERRILL LYNCH!! Umm, I wonder, did the police in that town drive by ALL THE PROTESTORS HOMES SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY??

PROBABLY NOT!!!!

It is funny that I don’t see how many times the cops supposedly went by my home-I know it was at least one other time before contact was made at 2:18 p.m. but IT IS NOT LISTED!! HMM!!

Anyway, I am not going to push it-I am through with this issue-but I CANNOT SPEAK FOR OTHER PEOPLE OR CONTROL THEIR ACTIONS, because I am getting co-operation from the Cheshire Police Department as far as releasing information-it is not perfect-BUT IT IS A LOT BETTER AND THAT IS MY GOAL.

Every once in a while, the student-CHESHIRE-must have a test-THIS ONE THEY PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS–GOOD!!!

I am concerned with how they KNEW I WAS HOME, or was it just freak luck or that GIS system the town wants to install-it probably is-I think that is SPYING in plain English-I think it can be a live map also-which is dangerous.

If a parent can pay AT&T $9 a month to monitor another family members location on their cell phone-you can imagine what a police department can do!!!

But I am concerned with how the police in this town react to difficult situations-that is more important to me-everything else right now, I can put in the wash-so on that note-we are making progress and that is my goal.

So what is this GIS Geographic Information System? Is it a way for the town or the police to nose in on your business? Or is it a way to collect up to date information on property boundaries, new buildings, etc?

Let’s examine this: I know what I would like to do to find out-I should conduct my own experiment-let’s say I sunbathe topless on my deck!! Do you think SOME ORGANIZATION WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MY ATTRIBUTES IN REAL TIME??

WE WILL HAVE TO SEE!! So keep a sharp lookout Town of Cheshire!!

Anyway-what is this GIS system that Cheshire seems to again have the money to spend on this software-DOES THIS TOWN EVER SAY NO TO SPENDING-GOD CAN YOU IMAGINE IFCHESHIRE WAS YOUR PARENT??

Here is some good info on this GIS system:

A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
