Fort Worth Cell Phone Tracking

[LANTIRN]

The city council of Fort Worth, Texas, recently approved the purchase of a $180,000 portable system that would give law enforcement the ability to track cellphones in an effort to better “combat criminal activity,” according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

This decision comes at a time when courts across the country, including the Supreme Court, are hearing cases involving the legality of warrantless tracking of subjects that are under criminal investigation. In fact, just last month the Supreme Court ruled that GPS tracking of a vehicle requires a warrant. Although it was not discussed by the high court at the time, Greg Nojeim, director of the Center for Democracy and Technology’s project on freedom, security and technology told The Blaze that requiring a warrant for GPS tracking could open the door for needing one for cellphone tracking as well.

Where do we draw the line with privacy? What's to stop these guys from just checking a random car to see if there's any illegal stuff going on. Ya know to protect the folks around here.

Wonder what they said before WWII kicked off. "Hey if you're not a Jew you have nothing to worry about."

Heh, just said wow and started reading the story to my wife. Her reply was "So, are you surprised? They're all crooked and it's just legalized extortion. Don't get enough money in taxes where do you look next? Revenue generation. How are they going to use that to screw the people?"

I love her... 8)

And Acid, you simply don't get it.

Are you going to say that when they decide to put up CCTV in your house?

And don't say they will never do that. They are doing it in England right now.

And there are thousands of laws (constitutionally illegal I might add) that our fathers and grandfather said either...."Oh they will never do that" Or "so what? your not doing nothing wrong, whats to worry about"

It's people that think like that, and people like us, that just bitch and do NOTHING about it, is the very reason this country is in the shape it is in.


I'll keep my privacy and freedom....F&%K you very much!

One nation under CCTV

The UK Government's Children's Secretary Ed Balls has announced a controversial new CCTV monitoring scheme, in which thousands of problem families are to be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Balls claims that the £400 million "sin bin" scheme will put up to 20,000 problem families under 24-hour surveillance in their own homes, to ensure children go to bed and school on time and eat proper meals.

"Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction," reads a report in the Sunday Express.

Family Intervention Projects

Mr Balls wants every local authority to fund such 'Family Intervention Projects', noting that: "This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem.

"There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need support."

Pupils and their families will have to sign 'Home School Agreements' which set out parents' duties to make sure their kids attend school.

However, privacy campaigners are already up in arms over the latest government plans to install surveillance tech within people's homes.

Fear not, just read this on how to avoid being captured on CCTV instead.

I heard about the CCTV last year. And Acid, so you have no problem with an officer opening your front door and going through your house right?

Of course not; that kind of thing is only OK so long as it affects others and not himself. "They came for the Jews, but I wasn't worried because I was not a Jew."

The Constitution is there for a reason. You can give up those rights but you have no right to rip them from anyone else. It pisses me off when people pull that "If you are innocent you have nothing to worry about" bs. My family do not understand when we're out and I absolutely will not allow an officer to search my truck without a warrant, why I refuse to allow a LEO in my home and anyone crossing my property line had better have either probable cause or a warrant.

I may be overboard on it, but dammit, it's my right to and so many don't.

Sorry brother. I do a lot of research. Some times I goof and put up stuff that I was not diligent in doing enough research, and it is bogus. But I do keep it to a minimum. And I correct my mistakes the best I can.

I even do research for others to put out there. Quite a lot of it actually.

You would be amazed at what you can find if you turn off the TV for a couple of years. But then again, the hoards of sheeple just point laugh and spout off, tin foil hat, conspiracy, birth-er, or what ever name they can think of to distract others from reality.
