I am going to try to go through the hundreds of comments I received on UTH FMO regarding these police in car cameras and post a few of them over the weekend, maybe next week.
I am also going to try to speak to a local resident who has alerted me to a problem involving a large major facility in town. I will try to contact this person over the next few days.
In the meantime, I know some of you may be getting tired of me speaking on the in car police dash cameras but as I have stated previously, it can be a serious invasion of privacy issue-not only for the general public, but for the police officers themselves. No one who gets up and goes to work everyday, wants to be treated like a first grader-watched all the time, and that is exactly what COULD happen if these cameras are misused-especially now that I know they can be manually turned on and off without a persons knowledge.
The police are very powerful, and to be able to have that option, is concerning. Our Town Council needs to make sure proper protocol is followed-yeah right, and tomorrow I will become Town Manager-NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!
I must have been on an acid trip now that I think about it-I actually wanted these cameras in the police cars-but I did not think they would be used in this way-I should have known better from Big Brother!!
And while we are on the big brother topic-if you are wondering why the header to my post is called what it is-that will soon be my new legal name-”UNKNOWN EARTH INHABITANT” Yes, I am NOT KIDDING!!
With all this invasion of privacy going on-with the latest being this asinine idea by the Government to require people to have GPS chips installed in the cars they drive so the states and Government can literally send you a bill charging you for “miles driven” is so out there-it sounds like the script to a new Twilight Zone movie.
This “idea” if you are really naive and want to call it that, would replace gas taxes that a motorist now pays when they fill their vehicles at a gas station.
Fortunately for us, President Obama has nixed this idea completely.
Can you believe the state of Oregon, which I really really love-what a beautiful state-must have had a lapse in judgment recently when they actually ADOPTED THIS GPS MONITORING SYSTEM. They enlisted volunteers and they claimed it was SUCCESSFUL!!
How in hell can anyone with an ounce of brains call the constant monitoring of your whereabouts “successful”?? What is so SUCCESSFUL about it? NOW WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE 24/7?? WE TREAT YOU LIKE AN IMBICILE?? OH COME ON!!
All this program would do is ENCOURAGE more people to register their cars in states that would not adopt this program, like probably New Hampshire!! Most states are financially strapped as it is-this would make it WORSE!! And let’s not forget the people who don’t BOTHER REGISTERING THEIR CARS AT ALL OR LET THE REGISTRATION LAPSE.
So what would happen is Mr. and Ms. Law Abiding Citizen would receive the mark of the beast, and all the rest of the cheaters would be driving tax free if you will.
And in one of these articles, someone brought up the point of the police getting their hands on this info-oh just like a bee to honey-yep chomping at the bit!!
This really sounds f’d up and I am glad Obama nixed it.
So back to Oregon, the state actually wrote a detailed report on there Mileage Fee Program and Road User Concept
I REFUSE to be marked or tracked or GPS’D or whatever you call it-so from now on when you see me, you will address me as “Unknown Earth Inhabitant” I also am sewing up a long gown type garment that covers my entire body. I will be able to see out, but you will not be able to see me.
That is all for now.
