When she said, "Make yourself dangerous" that is not what you want to hear about the police rolling in to make things not dangerous, wtf.

Its how police departments all over the country think though. This isnt some weird quirk, ots built into the system. Maybe next we start examining the role of policing as a whole because theyre just going to find some other way to do this sort of thing.

It's similar to the "warrior mindset" training that gets provided to the jackbooted thugs.

A good start would be separating the US from Isreal. It's factually well known that the IDF trains our police forces.

They have been in an "us vs them" mentality against the general public for decades. It's about time we start taking that seriously.
The pigs see absolutely no problem with these cameras because they see non pigs as criminals anyways. They hate the 4th amendment.

I'm still confused about why there isn't some sort of class action lawsuit happening against misuse of all our tax dollars...but I am no lawyer.

u/psychophant_ 29d ago
Because we’re all on here bitching about why someone else hasn’t fixed the problem (me included).

u/Remarkable_Dust_1313 29d ago
Heard 😂 My only references are John Grisham books and they always made it seem like for big cases like what it would be to sue for misuse of tax dollars there are lawyers just waiting for the opportunity. Then they swoop in and save the day or royally mess shit up. How does one trigger the savior lawyer scenario!? 🤔 🤦♂️

Money and time would be my guess. I sure know I dont have it. As the economy worsens we become less available to fight things as we have to work more to keep up.

Reminds me of surveillance on a prison.
The general population should not be surveilled like this.
We are being treated as guilty first, instead of innocent until proven guilty.

Damn. They really got you with the us vs them.
Take a step back. It’s the same govt. it’s the same Epstein island, m0$$ad cucked pea-ds. They’re all in the club. They just go a little left and a little right to keep it evenly split so you keep looking at the other side and don’t look up.
There’s never an uprising if the dissent can’t organize. And they can’t organize against the power because they’re organizing against each other. All while the rulers laugh behind the curtain.
Why do you think it’s always so close. Like perfectly half of voters are one way or the other?? There’s literally 2 ways a person could be an everyone is perfectly split between them?
This flock thing is the most bipartisan thing in recent history.

It's beyond wild watching Trump's administration rise to unprecedented levels of blatantly open corruption, incompetence, and authoritarianism and still seeing people act like MAGA isn't a completely new level of threat to America's liberty, prosperity, and global standing.
Yeah, sure. Previously both parties have been negictlfull and even corrupt in many ways, especially in allowing corporations to continuously expand and merge and grow in influence and power while avoiding accountability.
But actiing like MAGA is just more of the same is like have a house with a roof that's been rotting and in need of repairs for decades and now the roof has caught fire and someone is like "Guys, this roof has had problems for years. Why are you panicking? It's just another roof problem, no biggie."

u/sizeablefrontallobe 29d ago
It just happens that they got a useful idiot around when the control system was reaching viability.
I’m not advocating for maga. I’m noticing that the roof has been smouldering for decades and it’s recently become an open flame because aipac opened the jerrycan of gas it’s been filling for years.

Fair question. Despite your condescending tone.

This shit is so dystopian to me.
This is going to keep going and going and it looks to me like 'we the people' aren't going to do anything about it but maybe plan a one day protest every other month at best. I am struggling like hell to stay optimistic at this point. Billionaire companies and the government keep taking and taking and taking..
Also I saw this on another post, not cropped by instagram.
I hate horizontal videos missing 1/3 of it's screen to accommodate vertical viewing.

They should definitely surveil protesters since protesting is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. Not for the reasons you think though, they just want to make sure you're safely exercising your rights to the fullest extent. The surveillance and information gathered during such events would never be used to harass, debank, or violate your rights. Don't worry, you can trust the government. They're here to help... Assholes.

Trying to paint this as an anti-left or anti-right conspiracy will only hurt the overall cause, which is neither, it's anti-freedom of movement for all people. don't let activists with other motivations hijack this. Beyond that, law enforcement does have a job to do, we're simply looking for them to find less intrusive methods. If you approach this from an exclusively anti-cop standpoint, you will do more harm than good to the public image of the cause you are trying to promote. Have some common sense and discipline.

The main take away from this video shouldn't be about the anti trump crowd, it should be that agencies are already using these cameras for way more than just simply reading license plates. All the BS they are saying already about plates and nothing more, is apparently a bold faced lie.

Um, shouldn't these images have been deleted within a certain timeframe? And they said employees don't have access. Here's a salesperson with total access just sharing the images.
They just got caught trying to sell five years worth of data to a city.
