Agreed... This is main reason that I posted this in Marijuana Cultivation. I find it very troubling that A private business (Google) could be crusing A sat 423 miles up doing google earth and mapping the globe or whatever and for the sake of conversation, lets say, capture A high Res. image of A large outdoor grow in say Nor Cal or where ever and because someones holier than tho outlook, drop the photo and gps location on say, DOJ's door step...
You Follow my drift?
Do people realize that Google Earth maps the entire planet block by block at that resolution and have those images at their disposal? I find that more than A little problematic...
What do you think your gps capable phone is? If it can tell you where you are at to give you directions and maps it can track you. If it connects to a cell phone tower or satellite it can track you.I am glad we have our loyal & trusting government keeping us all safe from the boogeyman and terrorists. I mean what do I care if people can zoom in and see me and my stuff? and my garden and my girlfriend sunbathing topless, and how many weapons I have in my house,.. I have nothing to hide. I love my government and all they do for me. Now if we can just everyone to drive cars with tracking devices on them we'd be even safer. I think we should all wear tracking bracelets too....in case we get lost or sumpin.'
Designer tracking collars could be very trendy too.
Hey Dz, you're absolutely right... the capability has been around for A while. Google is what they would call themselves A sponser/financial backer.Doesn't even need to have a gps feature, old school analog phones are trackable too, and your cell carrier keeps these records for 7 years(some longer) and will give the info to leo without warrants...
Geo eye(does google actually own them?) is just the new one, ikonos was selling images(not as hi res, but pretty damn good) since 2000, and there were probably a lot before that, the public was just unaware then...
I am not an "alarmist" by any means and I speak for myself but I am against the systamatic errosion of our constitional rights and that's what "Is" the fundemental definition of what "Being American" is all about... Our personal rights guaranteed via. the constitution are being slowly but surely striped away and that is the only thig that determines wether we are "Citizens" or "Subjects" "Part of" or "Ruled By" I Fear that the days of "Good" free education are short and numbered. We do pay for it you know? And the only "Good" free education in the future will be obtained via the will to educate ones "Self" via all that is available if you really "Want It" Ever take A close look at some of the people that are educating our children, our future? Teachers backed by unions, who pay big bro, to keep them paid and working, even when molesting children, teaching their agenda and pushing their own beliefs? This is not the case with all teachers by any means but it is becoming more prevelant. Are You aware of, or shocked by, how hard union backing makes it to out A shitty teacher... Just Sayin'No matter how much me or anyone of use hates and doesn't trust our government, we should still be thankful for being born in America with the ability to pursue any career we want and make as much money as we want to support our families. I'm sure most of us are happy with our lives compared to the majority of people in 3rd world countries. I'm glad I wasn't born in some fucking straw hut in Haiti or another very poor and violent country. Think about it, alot of people in the US can go to a community college for FREE, fucking free bro, most kids in 3rd world countries can't even go to elementary school, let alone get a college degree for free. I'm not defending our government, I honestly don't trust anybody in politics, but I'm very thankful for the life I have compared to so many people in poor countries.

Put on your triangle tin foil hats there's more.:eek:
Now Police have something called the ShotSpotter.
They claim voices don't trigger the sensors but I saw on The First 48 a dude got shot and it tripped the sensor and they were able to listen to the voices after it was triggered by a gunshot.
- ShotSpotter solutions capture and alert agencies to incidents of outdoor gunfire in diverse and complex urban areas, anytime and anywhere that they occur.
- ShotSpotter instantly and precisely triangulates gunfire with accurate location data.
- ShotSpotter solutions are specifically designed to detect only loud explosive sounds. Human voices do not trigger ShotSpotter sensors, which are placed in elevated locations in order to enhance their capability as well as ensure citizen privacy.
Maybe human voices don't trigger the sensors, but that doesn't mean there isn't a button somewhere on a computer to trigger it manually.
They have a call center in a remote location ( I believe it's in the USA) that monitors and reports alerts to the proper police dept. So the people aren't even in the same city or state where the alert is coming from and the people monitoring it aren't police, wtf? I'm sure soon it will be outsourced to India and the call centers in India will be monitoring the streets of Oakland, CA. By the way there are shot spotters in OAK, so don't pack a piece there.
So we can be tracked through GPS, cell phones, computers, street cameras, shotspotters, fast pass electronic toll bridge card, credit/atm cards ,RFID proximity cards, biometrics, dna, facial recognition, etc. Be careful and be aware.
Another gov. abuse of power and danger to society is the private military like Blackwater. With a private military the gov. can hire an army to carry out it's wishes without the prior knowledge of the public or legal approval of congress. Private military's have no laws or rules which they must obey as they most times operate in foreign countries and are contracted so are only responsible contractually and don't have to justify kills or other actions to anyone as there is no typical military command structure.
