Domestic Use of Spy Satellites To Widen
Law Enforcement Getting New Access To Secret Imagery

The Bush administration has approved a plan to expand domestic access to some of the most powerful tools of 21st-century spycraft, giving law enforcement officials and others the ability to view data obtained from satellite and aircraft sensors that can see through cloud cover and even penetrate buildings and underground bunkers.

A program approved by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security will allow broader domestic use of secret overhead imagery beginning as early as this fall, with the expectation that state and local law enforcement officials will eventually be able to tap into technology once largely restricted to foreign surveillance.

I wonder if they are going to have to keep 2257 records on the tapes??

FUCK! And I was just now going to run to the liquor store, under "cloud cover", and get a bottle of Boone's Farm.

Now that it's become increasingly difficult to use the natural state of the world to cover my obscene acts, I guess I'll just go straight.

Straight Whiskey, that is. I'd hate to get caught buying Boone's Farm.

Oversight of the department's use of the overhead imagery data would come from officials in the Department of Homeland Security and from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and would consist of reviews by agency inspectors general, lawyers and privacy officers. "We can give total assurance" that Americans' civil liberties will be protected, Allen said. "Americans shouldn't have any concerns about it."

That last line is just unbelievable.

Sleep, sleep, sleeeep, America....

We are watching over you...

Your intelligence community:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

no surprise ...

where are the tinfoil hats republicans ????

Laugh it up guys while you are still allowed to.

Scary shit isnt it.

this type of technology brings about more & more power for those who possess it.....

and with power comes corruption

i can think of a million uses for "seeing through walls" domestically

for corporate uses

abuse will be rampant

Has the Patriot Act been abused, as many civil libertarians have predicted?

If so, let's hear the evidence.

Please don't be the first to ring the doucebag bell here.....

I usually like what you have to say.....

but thats just plain dumb....of course its been abused, since day 1

the abuse itself of the constitution was the patriot act itself....so theres proof enough

I hear he likes to watch ... and spy how you have sex in your bedroom via the military satellites.

This is not funny. It means people will spend less time looking at porn, and all the crazy niches like 'goat-faced midget bukkake' will never get a visitor again.

the system has been fucking us since day 1!

life hurts, bush hurts...........

They are probably doing it already.

Use lead tiles in your roof. It will block them from seeing inside your house. LOL

That's an opinion. He asked for proof.

The idea behind what they want to do is sound.

How many people are killed in standoffs with the cops every year, that do not have to die if they know where the bad guy is?? How many people planning robberies and moving drugs could be stopped BEFORE they do.

Only one problem... It wont work that way for very long. They will be looking into the house of someone they " THINK " said something against them.

my friend is a lt. col in the army and he told me about this back in may. he said these satellites have been around for a while.

i thought they were already doing that?? I guess someone must have found out and before it got out, they just made it public

Live free or die. Fucking "improvements" in life, keeping us "safer" fucking bullshit, dont let the state handle anything, gov is fucked. When will the people revolt against big brother and take their life and the decisions in them back into their own hands? Step, by small step, the train of freedom moves backwards and we barely notice.

There will be no more revolutions by "patriots" in this country.

Spy satellites, armoured local SWAT teams, communications eavesdropping and monitoring, disappearing to secret East European prisons, national ID cards, interlocked databases, Raptor, secret courts,.....

we have everything but the swastikas.

"Within six months of passing the PATRIOT Act, the Justice Department was conducting seminars on how to stretch the new wiretapping provisions to extend them beyond terror cases," said Dan Dodson, a spokesman for the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. "They say they want the PATRIOT Act to fight terrorism. Then, within six months, they are teaching their people how to use it on ordinary citizens."

The FBI has conducted clandestine surveillance on some U.S. residents for as long as 18 months at a time without proper paperwork or oversight, according to previously classified documents to be released today.

The government is using gag orders and secret evidence to keep the public in the dark about its use of the Patriot Act to investigate Americans, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

In two legal challenges to controversial provisions of the Patriot Act brought by the ACLU and other groups, the government has filed secret evidence that it is refusing to disclose to the public and even to the attorneys in the case.

no point going on ....

Now let see Dadddyhalbucks prove that there were NO abuses ....

Lets first see you prove that there were abuses. None of those links are proof of anything other than certain allegations have been made and investigations are taking place...now are they?

With power comes abuse :2 cents:

That's fucked up....

USA = Police State.

I'm not worried. Every so called tracking system I've seen puts my house on the other side of the lake and not even on my road ;)

I've got my tinfoil helmet, he can't get me with his nasty spy rays!

time to move out of the US.

where is a good place to move and be safe but not have my rights abused?

How stupid and dumb are you? *lol*

The US "Patriot Act" is an abuse in itself and would rarely stand a chance of passing into law in any western country.

It has nothing to do with "civil libertarians" or any other label you seem to be obsessed with. It is more the product of an extemist oppressive regime.

Glad to see our tax dollars being used well...

Lots of adult biz folk moving to Central America: Costa Rica and Panama. Don't listen when Bradshaw and WEGCory compare these places with Ethiopia - friends I know who are living there are doing so in style :thumbsup
