Check your utility poles today. Big Sis may be spying on you.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the electric utilities are the only one that can install the camera's. Those are Utility poles and they are used by the Phone company and the Cable company as well!

Drone's are the next tool they will employ.

Well, if you are not breaking the law, it doesn't matter wether they place a camera on a pole or send a drone. Paranoid people seeing ghosts around every bush slay me.

A judge ruled this guy wasn't breaking the law, even though the ATF placed the camera. The Attorney General has said that the government can execute U.S citizens on domestic soil without a trial. Nothing to be paranoid about. Nothing at all.

Did they have a camera on the pole when Obama was giving guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels ? They need to hang his butt high and Impeach him for this and several other serious offenses he has committed

I am a law abiding citizen but do not to want to be video recorded without my permission. It's a civil rights issue and we are already losing way to many of them. If I put a camera on the second floor of my home that is recording your back yard it is illegal in the eyes of the law. Why should the law have more rights than you or me? The law is there to serve and protect us not prosecute the innocent. We all have rights giving by god and our constitution. Any infringement of either cannot be allowed.

N A is part of the problem....
