Coming to a Municipal Government Near YOU!

Lower Township Police Chief Edward Donohue announced that the Department of Homeland Security will provide the Lower Township police with a Real Time Video Surveillance System through the U.S. Army’s Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program, or CEDAP.
Donohue stated that the police department applied to the Army’s CEDAP Program last year for the system.
The system consists of several cameras that can feedback live video to police headquarters or vehicles from several miles away. Donohue states the system will be utilized for police surveillance operations, tactical operations, and to monitor critical infrastructure as needed. For security reasons, Donohue would not reveal the exact number of cameras or their complete capabilities.
Donohue noted that the system is free of charge at no cost to taxpayers.
Lower Township Police Officer Kevin Lewis will fly to Raleigh, N.C. in August to be trained on the new system. The officer’s flight, lodging and meals are all covered by the program, again at no cost to taxpayers.
Donohue noted that this is the third time that the department has utilized this program and has previously received Thermal Imaging Night Vision Equipment and Fiber Optic Cameras from the program, all at no cost.

when you make the statement (at no cost to the taxpayer) how do you think the army got those systems? they bought them with our money!

Anon 8:10 beat me to the punch.
So I will just ad my comment on the mentality of those who suggest all goods or monies coming from the federal government are free to the locals.
God! how stupid and compliant too big government we have become.
This blog had featured a particular interesting post titled "How Long Do We Have", I believe it was posted on 7/6/08. Everyone who would like to see a road map of the destiny of this Nation should read that.
can private citizens apply for these grants.I gotta a couple neighbors I want keep tabs on????
for the life of me i cant remember its name, but there is a satelite eighter just recently put up, or soon to be put up that is going to totally transform what the goverment can do to track all sorts of people and data. we havent seen anything yet. wonder why you dont see this on the mass media,(because the mass media is controlled by corporate capitalistic power devils). one of the functions of this new satelite technology is instant facial reconition. it will take somewhere around 110 points on your face and send it to a central data bank to identify you, its even going to be done at public events where there is no probable cause to do so. it looks like our rights are deteriorating as fast as our jobs are.
This is what makes this article so incredible is that the public is being sold a bill of goods all under the guise of 'at no cost to the taxpayer'! Yeah right! Department of Homeland Security is sending this equipment to all interested municipalities who are only interested in spying on you the taxpayer.
Did you read the article a couple of days ago about utility workers being trained to collect information on citizens and turn the information into 'fusion' centers where information is compiled on each and every citizen.
We are supposed to be the most civilized nation on earth yet we have more of our citizens in prison than any other. Most convicts are in there as non violent drug offenders, yet they keep building more and more and more prisons.
Read the article about the utility workers.
What in the hell does our government need with all of this information? To make a police state; plain and simple.
I had a friend who worked for the Department of Defense and she said that just about anything you see on a science fiction movie, the government has been experimenting with for at least 10 years before the public sees it in a movie.
The way that she discovered this is she is a person who doesn't watch TV ever, and one day she was at a park and one of the people in her picnic party was talking about a feature on their cell phone, and she asked them how they knew about this feature (GPS) and they said it was the newest phone hadn't she seen the commercials. She got really upset and said 'That's classified information' and they looked at her like she had two heads.
Now this took place about 10 years ago, and yet this is something that we use every day now. She has since changed her ways and watches commercials to see the stuff that is now available to us the public that she had worked on when it was classified.
As I write this I can't help but think about the movie Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. I'm really hoping that they can't do that.
