Re: Big Brother is watching
Chip Mefford propelled us into the future by writing:
Fairfax County, In the Peoples Republic of Virginia
It's Fairfax City, I think, which is an independent city wholly contained in Fairfax County. At least they were the only ones with this shit deployed.
Citizens in the PRV who have been travelling in Fairfax County will soon be recieving summons to come pay their dues to the monster in the form of traffic citations for running red lights issued by Big Brother.
This was discussed a while ago. Buy a license plate cover ("Just protecting my plates against stones and vandalism, Officer!") that's virtually transparent from head-on, but opaque beyond a certain view angle. I think these things exist -- look in Car & Driver or some such. And if some peckerhead parks his SUV in your driveway to nail speeders, buy a "radar detector tester" (maybe C&D, or an electronic-hobbyist's magazine) and crank it up every now and again while he's trying to catch violators. Do it from the safety of your house so you don't wind up with a nightstick up your ass. <snip>
With this wonderful sucess, We can all look forward to this items being placed in our domiciles in order to further protect us from crime.
And I'll give my kids a can of spray paint and a ladder. Maybe I'll offer bonus prizes if they can figure out an inventive, undetectable way to disable the fucker. Shit, they're trying to nail Marv Albert for consensual sodomy, which is also a "crime" in the PRV, if they can't get him on the assault charges. So think twice before you and your SO get into acts of Hooverism down Virginia way. N.

Rigging your microwave so it will run with the door open works real good, too. Just remember to stand a safe distance behind it...

By the way, the last time I was driving around the Greater Washington National Compound, there were signs in Virginia declaring that use of radar detectors was illegal. This sort of banning of certain technologies which "hinder law enforcement" is of course what we were talking about a few weeks ago, with the "for law enforcment use only" trends in the PRA. The State Parks and Recreation cops I was shooting next to today were wearing body armor...it looked like Second Chance Class III stuff. These vests are no longer sold to civilians. (I don't know if this a "voluntary" action by the body armor makers, or is codified in some obscure law. I know that there are periodic calls to outlaw ownership of such things by civilians, including certain types of bullets, certain types of detectors, etc. These rangers were sharing the range, so to speak, and gave me some long looks when I entered carrying an assault rifle case and went over to my lane. By the way, in case anyone is wondering what State Parks and Recreation rangers were doing at a target range, they were carrying .40 S&W semiautos...looked like mostly SIGs. Here in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the rangers are essentially narcs and often run into marijuana fields hidden up in the forests. I didn't mention to them my felon status. --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.

I read in this morning's paper that in the wake of Diana's death, bills are being proposed to require licensing for the use of high powered telescopic lenses such as those used by celebrity photographers. Ignoring for a moment that such an act would make physical confrontation with said photographers even more likely, I note the similarity in language used to describe camera lenses to language used to describe certain firearms. Soon we will hear about the dangers of "assault lenses". The sheeple will eat it up. As somebody once said on this list: "The First Amendment was never meant to protect assault language or verbal rape"... BTW, just for the record, I believe that we live in a consumer society and the People choose the government they want. The average person doesn't care who thinks for them as long as they don't have to think for themselves and can pretend to themselves that it was in fact they who did the thinking. The People desire a master, not a revolution. --Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred. DES is dead! Please join in breaking RC5-56. http://rc5.distributed.net/
