Stop and Swab: Dramatic Increases in DNA Police Databases

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/StopFriskDNATest_14.jpg

“DNA databases are increasingly being used for more than individual identification. Searching for partial matches can find that a suspect is likely to be the family member of someone in the database. This brings extended families, including many people who have never broken the law in their lives, under direct police surveillance.  And the intrusion of privacy represented by being forced to surrender DNA to a police database is high. DNA is qualitatively different from a fingerprint; it holds extremely personal information about lineage, propensity for disease, and countless other traits.”

Woman Injured In Shooting Involving Sheriff’s Deputy

Posted on by

“A Spring Valley woman was shot by a deputy who was checking her backyard for a masked man.  While checking for the man one to two blocks away from Leigh Avenue, deputies entered the backyard of a residence in the 200 block of Via Tapia, Nesbit said.  Gore said the deputies thought Orey’s open gate looked suspicious, so they went into her backyard. The deputies ran into Orey, and one of them had a ‘spontaneous reaction.’  Authorities said they did not know exactly what prompted the shooting. They said the woman did not have anything in her hands and was not armed at the time.”

Do You Recognize This Country?

Posted on by

” A propaganda video produced by the Kansas City Police Department unwittingly illustrates just how thoroughly militarized domestic law enforcement has become.  The clip begins with a female officer who soothingly explains that when tactical teams – that is, military units in black body armor – serve search warrants, the element of surprise is important ‘for the safety of everyone.’ This does prove traumatic ‘not only for occupants of the house, but for neighbors as well,’ she continues. This is why post-raid neighborhood outreach by the stormtroopers is now standard procedure.”

Romney May Be Nominated Early

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/thecaucus_post1.png

“Mr. Romney will be elevated as the party’s standard bearer on Monday – not Wednesday as previously expected – to keep the official business of the roll call delegate vote from competing with broader themes of introducing Mr. Romney. Officials also are keeping an eye on a potential threat from Tropical Storm Isaac and considering concerns about a possible disruption from Ron Paul supporters at the Republican National Convention next week.”

Tampa Authorities Empty Jail In Anticipation Of Mass Arrests At GOP Convention

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-Shot-2012-08-22-at-3.53.20-PM-300x1671.png

“Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee has ordered the Orient Road Jail, a 1,700 bed prison in Tampa, emptied, relocating some inmates to another nearby prison and releasing others on bond. The entire facility has been transformed into a one-stop booking, detention, and bond-issuance center capable of handling large numbers of arrests, which begs the question: will Tampa police keep demonstrators on a short leash?  Sheriff Gee says no, but also indicated in a letter posted on a county website that his department would have very little tolerance for anything more than chanting and holding up signs.”

[Surely the next one in charge will know the right amount of money to print.]  “‘I would like to select… a new person to that chairman’s position, someone who shared my economic views, someone that I thought was sympathetic to the needs of our nation,’ Romney told the broadcaster in an interview.  ‘And I want to make sure that the Federal Reserve focuses on maintaining the monetary stability that leads to a strong dollar, and confidence that America is not going to go down the road that other nations have gone down to their peril,’ he said.”

Chicago Fed President Wants Global Money Printing

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/EPJ24.png

“Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans urged easier monetary policy around the world, reports Bloomberg.  Currently, the People’s Bank of China, the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve are maintaining slow money growth policies. If these central banks reverse this policy global price inflation could be massive. Indications are that the ECB may go on such a money printing spree soon, and the Fed may do so, perhaps after the election.”
