Whenever you hear anybody in government or the government run media utter the words “public safety,” you should run for the hills. You are about to be violated!
The city of Baltimore has just announced city wide audio surveillance of those traveling by bus. Surveillance is just a cute word for illegal spying, destruction of civil rights, or watching every move you make. No more privacy in other words.
The city officials (tyrannical rulers) are now allowing the recording of all private conversations on “public” buses. This is being done of course, under the guise of “public safety.” What began with video, will now be enhanced with voice recordings. Each intrusion is simply another step down the slippery slope of state control over all individuals.
“We want to make sure people feel safe, and this builds up our “arsenal” of tools to keep our patrons safe,” said Ralign Wells, the Maryland Transit Administration chief. “The audio completes the information package for investigators and responders.”
This gives a new meaning to the term ‘big brother.” Now it is more like the tyrannical strong arm of totalitarianism. Quite a change, but it has only just begun!
