This one went well from my standpoint, except for the Keystone cops thing.
Do a bit of research, this is becoming a thing.
One guy found it and took it off.
There was a warrant served SWAT style because he "stole" police property.
Then research Open Lands and what Leo's can and often do on private
property, without a warrant, involving cameras.
Boys, the balance between police powers and freedom is shifting
away from freedom. And too many people believe it's ok to violate
the privacy rights of a (suspected) criminal. After all, they (supposedly) do/did bad things.
But our civil rights were established for a reason.
And even though those regulations for the police involve bad guys,
The laws are there because they protect the rest.
This really is a slippery slope situation.
Do I care if they push the boundaries to catch a druggie or killer?
No! Not as a one off.
But!!
What s allowed becomes new policy and the limits shift, until
They are pushed again, then another shift.
When do we get investigated and searched because we parked in a school zone in a car registered to a CCL holder? Or just a gun owner?
PSP scan every license plate automatically.
Registration validity is noted on ever car in the vicinity of
the cruiser. I'm sure warrants are included in the program also.
Daughter was pulled over because she drove past a trooper
who was in the process of parking in the median.
Somehow as he was parking he was able to be watching the screen and
knew that of several cars going by/sitting at the red light,
she was driving an Impala, with plates registered to a Subaru.
Right? Wrong? I don't know.
But I bet there were a bunch of Pa, Ma, and Va boys from 240 years ago
who wouldn't have approaved.
