High-Tech Stop & Frisk

[BeerGuy]

Here's an article from the Wall Street Journal highlighting the use of police license plate scanners to amass info on citizens that attend gun shows.

Paywall

I google searched for the title and that link let me into the article.

doesn't really seem to matter much here in Mass from what I have read on here..Seems the cops already have our LTC's linked to our car registrations...so would they not expect us to attend a gun show?

Can't find the WSJ article specifically outside of the paywall, but here's one about the same topic from the ACLU of all groups: https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-futu...ndees-license-plate-readers-new-emails-reveal

It's just that they're collecting data on innocent people for attending gun shows.

Because everyone knows, if you have an LTC in this state you must be up to something nefarious. Who needs a gun in this state?

Just tape "F OFF" over your lic plate. Problem solved. If everyone did it, now what are they going to do? Wander around pulling them all off??? Seems to me if I had a free Sat am, I could wander around handing out signs and tape. LOL

Uber? Lyft?

Responding to inquiries about the document, the DEA said that the monitoring of gun shows was merely a proposal and was never implemented.

Why do I have a hard time believing that?

Good thing there's no real other crime or terror going on. Must really free up resources for this kinda thing.

Winner

The Federal Goon Agencies can claim all they want that they are not actually conducting that collection of data, But you can bet your ass that they are. None of those agencies have any credibility any more.

Yes. That's probably what the "upgrade" to NICs over the summer was: they made it easier to store everything, faux registry backdoor.

LOL. Islamic Jihadists are not the enemy. Apparently WE are!

It's weird, that link hit the paywall, but if you use the following link and follow the WSJ hit, it lets you in free.

Actually the one you linked to is the dupe. This thread was posted first.

You should.
Some can call Snowden a traitor all they want, but we know now that they do this kind of crap so the denials are for the kool aid drinkers .

We should do this with taxes while we are gathering like minded people.
