Do you guys remember when this was a joke?


We're in such an incredible time now that laborers spend their midday breaks running through the hot sun for pleasure. Imagine telling this to the masses of peasants


Everyone thinks the Founding Fathers were sipping tea and debating liberty. They did this instead.

THIS image is an image of Signal Trace from a company called Leonardo. SignalTrace is not separate from license plate reader surveillance, it is built to work with license plate readers. By pairing plate reads with signals from phones, watches, headphones, vehicles, key finders, and other electronics, it can create an “electronic fingerprint” tied to a vehicle or person and continue identifying them even when a plate is hidden, changed, missing, or unreadable. That means a Flock, Motorola, Axon network can become a people tracking network capable of revealing where someone travels, who they travel with, and which homes, workplaces, protests, churches, medical offices, or political events they visit. 6 degrees of separation track EVERYONE. In the wrong hands, this is not just traffic enforcement, it is the infrastructure for warrantless mass surveillance, guilt by association, and a permanent record of innocent people’s movements. There needs to be an ordinance with steep fines with criminal penalties for adding devices onto public power poles or poles without labeling. Right now, any company, private or public can come in and put sniffing devices on anything and get away with it. They can track the Mayor, track The police Chief, sports figures or other dignitaries that come to town, including all of us.
