The inevitable push toward rights destruction and police state tyranny continues to march on at lightening speed. This story from Fox News tells of the latest assault on our freedom, and it was truly predictable.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is just a few weeks away from launching its own drone program. This of course is being done in the name of “fighting crime.” The only way this can be done is to spy on citizens. A spokesman for the sheriff’s office said that this office has “better things to do its time than spy on people.” But the only way to find out if a “crime” is being committed is to spy. His statement is full of contradiction, but that is normal for the state. He went on to say; “The only way that its going to be an invasion of their privacy is if they are committing some type of criminal act where we might utilize this to catch them.” This is akin to the idiotic statement that if you have nothing to hide, this shouldn’t bother you. No explanation is necessary here because they will spy on everyone, and when they see something they can act on, they will simply use that to support even more spying.
It will not be long until these drones are everywhere across the country. It will not be long until these drones being used domestically will be armed. Each time any city, county, or state seeks to implement the use of drones, the people there should demand in no uncertain terms that they will not allow it. Strong measures, and if necessary, strong dissent should be used to squelch this threat! My belief is that this is warranted, as it is simply an act of self defense.
The police state we now live under should be abolished immediately, before the the tables are turned in total favor of the state. Waiting until unrest is evident is not the course to take. Fixing this problem should be done now, so as to avoid state violence against us all in the future.
