THEY REALLY ARE WATCHING YOU

Homeland Security to use photo radar to track drivers nationwide October 16th, 2008 | Homeland Security, New World Order, Police By: D. H. Williams @ 6:48 PM - EST http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Find-Freedom.htm?At=039803&From=News 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?
