You like airport xrays you will love this

X-ray body scanners currently being used and abused in airports across the world are set to hit the streets as American Science & Engineering reveals that “more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents†have been sold to government agencies.

In January, we divulged how the ultimate end use of the body scanners would not be limited to airports, and that they were going to be rolled out on the streets as mobile units that would scan vehicles at checkpoints as well as individuals and crowds attending public events.

Dutch police announced that they were developing a mobile scanner that would “see through people’s clothing and look for concealed weapons†and that it would be used “as an alternative to random body searches in high risk areasâ€.

The device would also be used from a distance on groups of people “and mass scans on crowds at events such as football matches.â€

The plans mirrored leaked documents out of the UK Home Office three years prior, which revealed that authorities in the UK were working on proposals to fit lamp posts with CCTV cameras that would X-ray scan passers-by and “undress them†in order to “trap terror suspectsâ€.

Now, according to a Forbes report, backscatter x-ray vision devices mounted on trucks are already being deployed inside the United States to scan passing individuals and vehicles in complete violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Scan away.

Now the people sneaking into the country......
Mobile x-ray scanners, mobile infared scanners, rfid, dna sampling, ID checkpoints....... where does it end?

Too many are far too willing to give up a lot of freedom for a little "security". RIP 4th Amendment, it was good having you but evidently you've outlived your purpose.
 
Maybe something that will be necessary in today's world...but I think those pics are fake....seems I read this somewhere before...:dontknow:
 
Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway — and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.

I'd verture to guess that Onstar and other type systems are already capable of doing this whether they are being used for this purpose or not. :dontknow:

Yes, Onstar is terrible. They can even turn it on in listening mode if they want.

The thing that is really troubling is that all of these things can be done without a warrant, not that they can be done.

And let's not forget about dogs. Every time I get stopped on the bike they want to search it, and of course every time I tell them no. So then of course then bring in the dog. Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see where that isn't a search. Just as these scanners are searches.

There are a lot of people out there that don't know you can say No to a vehicle search. You see it all the time on shows like Cops etc.. As you know, they bring the dog in to see if they can get him to hit on you and that way they have an excuse to do the search. I think if the dog signals, then there is probable cause to dig deeper and search your vehicle.

I don't do drugs and not worried that they'll find anything but I'd say no to a search too. I just don't want them going through my stuff. From what I've seen, they tear your car and stuff apart and leave it there on the side of the road for you to put away even if they don't find anything.
