NEW YORK (PNN) - January 17, 2012 - The New York Police Department is stepping up its war against all guns with a new tool that could detect weapons on someone as they walk down the street, regardless of the privacy violation the technology represents.
Thug cops, along with the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Department of Defense, are researching new technology in a scanner placed on thug cop vehicles that can detect concealed weapons.
It’s called Terahertz Imaging Detection. It measures the energy radiating from a body up to 16 feet away, and can detect anything blocking it, like a gun.
The idea is causing quite the uproar on both sides of the privacy issue.
Some people, who have lost the Amerikan spirit of individualism and want to be taken care of by the government, think it is a positive development.
“I think it’s good. People will be safer and it will be a safer environment,” Jessica Ramos said.
“If it’s going to make us safer as citizens I’m okay with that,” said Lori Sampson of Lake Ronkonkoma.
Then there is this gem from a man who has no understanding of the principle on which the country was founded. Unfortunately, all too many ignorant people think similarly.
“I think it’s good. I think if someone has something to hide and they’re going to worry about it, who cares?” Robert McDougall added.
On the other hand, many people whop believe that government should stay out of people’s lives consider it to be an attack on individual liberty, because without privacy from government watchers, there can be no freedom.
“I think it’s all about invading people’s lives more and more and more,” said Antonio Gabriel.
“If they search you, you’re not giving consent, so they can do what they want, meaning they can use that as an excuse to search you for other means. I don’t think that’s constitutional at
all,” Devan Thomas said.
“I don’t agree with it. I have the belief that if you forgo some of your freedom then it’s not freedom at all,” added Erwin Morales of Hoboken.
Fascist Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the individual some say has conducted the greatest assaults on personal freedom in the city’s history, said the scanner would only be used in reasonably suspicious circumstances, though he refused to define what that term means. He said the technology could cut down on the number of stop-and-frisks on the street.
Thug cops have historically been poor protectors of individual liberties.
The New York Civil Liberties Union is raising a red flag.
“It’s worrisome. It implicates privacy, the right to walk down the street without being subjected to a virtual pat down by the (thug cops) when you’ve doing nothing wrong,” the NYCLU’s Donna Lieberman said.
The FPSA Department of Defense is also researching the Terahertz technology to detect suicide bombers wearing explosives.
