For some reason I'm reminded of a line of dialogue from some movie that went roughly "NASA spent millions developing a pen that could write in space. The Russians, they used a pencil."

The common sense to know that a satellite costs a lot of money and the basic math to understand that a lot of money spent surveilling a town of butt-fuck proportions is not worth the expenditure. But what do I know, it could very well be some piggy back experiment on a scientific satellite used to monitor the decline in numbers of the endangered WuWu bird of Rocklin and its correlation to global warming. And as I don't have much past basic math and common sense I'm not capable of figuring out the possibility of that.

In all my ignorance and lack of wisdom I am also overly sure that if the Rocklin police department has access to a super secret spy satellite the capabilities of their surveillance program would not be allowed to be openly spoken about by every badge to every job applicant.

But for real, I got no idea. This thread just cracked me up enough that I had to post, be I the dumb or the not

( And for super real, my own town in butt-fuck nowhere just got an F-22 to chase speeders down the highway that goes past. )
