Operation Virtual Police State... A company named Persistent Systems hired by the LA county Sheriff to do full time full spectrum surveillance of the whole of LA county was 'outed' a few years ago. When it was in the news I happened by the local city bus terminal and sure enough a sticker on the entranceway glass door said the site surveillance was also being done by the same company.... I didn't have my camera with me at the time, and when I returned the next morning the sticker had changed to their new name... Dojo. (sort of like blackwater >> academi). All just as well. It's a federal crime to take pictures of public transport facilities thanks to the CIA's own al-Qaeda, Osama, and an airplane attack on a certain NYC tower complex. Rr LA Sheriff's Dept.

The surveillance program — which has sent a single-engine plane flying 8,000 feet above Baltimore to record hundreds of hours of video — began in January with an earlier, $120,000 gift from the Arnolds to Persistent Surveillance Systems, the department's contractor on an effort that police officials never disclosed to the mayor before starting the monitoring. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-arnolds-20160...
