Every move you make

I don’t know about you, but I am damn tired of living in a surveillance state:

WASHINGTON—The Justice Department has been building a national database to track in real time the movement of vehicles around the U.S., a secret domestic intelligence-gathering program that scans and stores hundreds of millions of records about motorists, according to current and former officials and government documents.

The primary goal of the license-plate tracking program, run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, is to seize cars, cash and other assets to combat drug trafficking, according to one government document. But the database’s use has expanded to hunt for vehicles associated with numerous other potential crimes, from kidnappings to killings to rape suspects, say people familiar with the matter.

Officials have publicly said that they track vehicles near the border with Mexico to help fight drug cartels. What hasn’t been previously disclosed is that the DEA has spent years working to expand the database “throughout the United States,’’ according to one email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Many state and local law-enforcement agencies are accessing the database for a variety of investigations, according to people familiar with the program, putting a wealth of information in the hands of local officials who can track vehicles in real time on major roadways.

One thought on “Every move you make

  1. Now who do you suppose is spending our tax dollars on all of these cameras? That’s right our elected representatives. The very people we all went out and voted for.
    So why are they betraying us? It’s their job. You see these people don’t really work for us, the people who trudged to the polls and voted for them. They actually work for the rich folks, like the Koch’s, who will donate $889 million dollars to get them elected.
    And the Koch’s are afraid of us. Or at least those of us who are unto their real game. So they want to know where each of us is at all times. That’s where the NSA comes in.
    What do you’all think we can do to save ourselves? And it shouldn’t involve voting.
