The state knows all and sees all.
And these same libs complained of monitoring phone calls of TERRORISTS under the evil Bush administration after 911.
The Libertarian ping list has much to point out.
I hate this state.
Just so I have this straight - you can’t ask people who might be illegal aliens for the ID they’re supposed to carry after they get stopped for a crime but it’s okay to spy on law abiding citizens and track their location when they haven’t done anything wrong.
Isn’t Maryland the state where they made it a felony to videotape encounters with LE?
Video for me...but not for thee.
The Stasi would have loved something like this.
Dhimmis are fascists as well as cowards.
parasites and worse
I can’t believe the whacked out Lefty’s support stuff like this. Aren’t they supposed to be uber-Civil Libertarians ?
How about tracking every move of the Elitists in government? Watch all the monies handed to them under the table or their dirty deeds in the dark of night?
This is an exaggeration.
They are simply using technology to substitute for a “boot on the ground.” Surely you don’t complain that the Air Force uses a predator drone controlled by an airman in Nevada to take out a bad guy in Afghanistan?
They are not spying. They are enforcing the existing laws with technology instead of people.
What freedom is being lost, other than the freedom to break a law? And you still have that freedom, it just becomes a bit more expensive because you will be caught more often. I understand this is simply a tax increase, but I don't see freedom being lost through better enforcement of existing laws.
Here’s an idea - how about installing spy cameras in government agencies so we know the employees are all really working.
Some western state installed cameras and shortened the yellow signal time to increase revenues. It created more accidents and didn’t generate enough revenue to pay for itself.
The Democratic chief executive will spend $2 million in federal grants to double the number of roadside and mobile spy camerasThe next great idea for an internet video website!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Ehrlich or Murphy, whichever one wins the primary, should take the contents of this editorial and pount them home to the voters of Maryland every chance they get. They can conclude their commercials with “Martin O’Malley IS the surveillance state!”
“Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center located in Woodlawn, just outside Baltimore.”
Interesting, because Woodlawn is a pillar of moral and civil superiority.
