Domain Awareness System brought to you by NYC Mayor and Microsoft.

[babomb]

Domain Awareness System(Microsoft technology for pre-crime screening) The Domain Awareness System (DAS) will be a very sophisticated software technology that aggregates and analyzes public information in real time that will produce comprehensive reports to be used by NYPD to ascertain potential threats and pre-crime activity. By utilizing smart cameras and license plate readers, combined with Microsoft technologies, NYPD personnel can search suspects, allegedly suspicious packages, and any other information at their disposal to control possible criminal action in NY. Graphical interface, environmental sensors and law enforcement databases will be interlaced so that crime analysis can effectively allocate proper man-power and improve response to potential situations. This creates an aggregate of information for the NYPD to use in real-time. Over 3,000 CCTV cameras will be connected to the DAS that are spread throughout NYC.

People need to understand that Bloomberg's narcissistic megalomaniacal behavior is an example of what has been going behind closed doors in the U.S. government of merged stated and coporate powers for decades.

Like soda and breast milk!? Like we need laws to govern those things. I can't stand it when people react that way.

Here are only 2 recent examples of the metastisis of psychopaths in government. They refuse to admit wrong and refuse to accept accountability. Fauquier County Fines Woman for Hosting 10 Year Old's Birthday Party St. Paul Cops Shoot Dog in Wrong-Door Raid, Force Handcuffed Kids to Sit Near the Corpse But on the night of July 13, 2010, the task force broke down the Francos' doors, "negligently raided the home of plaintiffs, by raiding the wrong home and physically brutalizing all the above-named occupants of said house," the complaint states. Even after learning that they were in the wrong house, the complaint states, the drug busters stayed in the Francos' home and kept searching it. They "handcuffed all of the inhabitants of the plaintiffs' home except plaintiff Analese Franco who was forced, virtually naked, from her bed onto the floor at gunpoint by officers of the St. Paul Police Department SWAT team and officers of the St. Paul Police Department." The complaint states: "Upon forcibly breaching the plaintiffs' home, defendants terrorized the plaintiffs at gun and rifle point. "Each plaintiff was forced to the floor at gun and rifle point and handcuffed behind their backs. "Defendants shot and killed the family dog and forced the handcuffed children to sit next to the carcass of their dead pet and bloody pet for more than an hour while defendants continued to search the plaintiffs' home." One child "was kicked in the side, handcuffed and searched at gunpoint," the family says. Another child, a girl, "a diabetic, was handcuffed at gunpoint and prevented by officer from obtaining and taking her medication, thus induced a diabetic episode as a result of low-blood sugar levels." And here is something that Bloomberg will probably want done in NYC: Oregon Man Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail -- for Collecting Rainwater on His Property A rural Oregon man was sentenced Wednesday to 30 days in jail and over $1,500 in fines because he had three reservoirs on his property to collect and use rainwater. Gary Harrington of Eagle Point, Ore., says he plans to appeal his conviction in Jackson County (Ore.) Circuit Court on nine misdemeanor charges under a 1925 law for having what state water managers called “three illegal reservoirs” on his property – and for filling the reservoirs with rainwater and snow runoff.

That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. It's not to me, and shouldn't be to anyone paying attention to what's going on around them.

And some of you want to give up guns. Fuck that!

And some of you want to give up guns. Fuck that! +1........

[Mike70]

And some of you want to give up guns. Fuck that! oh but the world would be a better place, willy, if only our benevolent and completely trustworthy overlords (er..i mean govt. and police) had guns. gosh, didn't you know that? there'd be no crime or violence either, slick. because all of that in america only involves guns. yeah Slick, there are adults that believe that sort of shit and can still look at themselves in the mirror. -- -------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ---------- That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

[LouCipherr]

anyone who thinks it is a good idea for the govt. to be "monitoring" the public in the name of "safety" is a complete and total moron with the understanding of a child. This is true, and I, unfortunately, keep hearing this stupid phrase uttered within earshot ALL the damn time: "But... but... it's better to be safe than sorry" And what's that wonderful Benjamin Franklin quote? Oh yeah... "People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both." Indeed.

[Sammich]

This is true, and I, unfortunately, keep hearing this stupid phrase uttered within earshot ALL the damn time: "But... but... it's better to be safe than sorry" The one that the government enforcers and their boot lickers always say that really pisses me off is: "If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to hide." They use this excuse to rationalize everything from warrantless wiretaps to unreasonable searches like the stop and frisk crap going on in New York City. Oh, but when it comes time for someone to watch the watchers they scream: VIOLATIONS OF PRIVACY! LAPD gang units dismantled in some high-crime areas The Los Angeles Police Department has temporarily dismantled anti-gang units in several of its most crime-plagued neighborhoods because officers in those squads refused to comply with a controversial financial disclosure rule that they view as misguided and invasive. The disclosure policy is intended to help identify and deter corruption among the estimated 600 gang and narcotic officers who frequently handle cash, drugs and other contraband. Adopted nearly two years ago, the plan gave officers who were already assigned to the units until the end of March to abide by the new rules or be moved back to regular patrol assignments. "The bottom line is it isn't going to be effective and it's insulting. If we were dirty, we wouldn't be putting cash into a bank account," said a veteran gang officer who, like others, asked that his name not be used because of concern that he would be disciplined. "It's a matter of principle." Hows that for a laugh. There are loads of youtube videos of the cops using intimidation and worse against innocent people who try to assert their rights, like video taping a public official in public. Instead of getting beat up and put in jail for not bowing down to "authority", these guys get to keep their jobs and re-assigned.

The one that the government enforcers and their boot lickers always say that really pisses me off is: "If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to hide." I think that one might piss me off more than "better safe that sorry"

While Bloomberg may list his political status as independent... he is a true republican. Strip away your rights republican. Enjoy your stay in communist CHINA

[LouCipherr]

While Bloomberg may list his political status as independent... he is a true republican. Gee, how did I know you'd spout off "republican!" when people are discussing politics? Need I remind you, Dj, that the current idiot in office screwing everything up left & right is a DEMOCRAT. You seem to never have anything to say about that. Obama = Bush Jr. Mach II. Republican or Democrat, they're both the same.
