Surveillance Police State.
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.

support far more in Maryland than police surveillance
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.
