Well, we should then be able to reduce the number of unionized LEOs, as SkyNet takes over.
Welcome to Post Patriot Act America.
This sounds like a general description of what the FBI got caught doing this year.
they could probably sell subscriptions to people wanting to know where their spouse was last night.
Hey, I only want to manage the system over 2 cities:
Chicago
W.D.C.
I get to decide what activity gets tracked.
Good thing the Ruling Elite cannot commit crimes.
There are also numerous satellites looking down 24/7 at every square inch of dry ground on the earth at ALL TIMES, see NSA.
Remember folks when I was a child in the 60’s we were reading newspapers in newspaper stands on the streets of Moscow from Space. They showed it on TV, I watched it.
Sounds like a little air to air action is necessary.
These are surely drones.
If your photograph has been taken with a digital camera by the government ( driver’s license, passport, military or other ID), your visage has been defined by thousands of distinct digital points or bytes. The day will soon come that as you are photographed knowingly and unknowingly as you go about your daily business, (banks, ATM machines, surveillance cameras), it will be very easy for an interested party in government to identify where you have been and possibly where you are. A supercomputer with the right search program will quickly find you.
30 kilometers?? Not with the light aircraft pictured in the article. That is higher than the flight ceiling of the U2.
This is evil.
First 30 KM sounds a little high: 18.6M or about 100,000 feet.
Second, does it ever get cloudy or foggy over the city?
And we wonder why the government is driving the country folk into the cities.
If it saves one child ....
As the UK has found out, there are far fewer humans available to follow up on what the All Seeing Eye of Sauron records. Also such systems have their own vulnerabilities. Airborne systems are dependent upon atmospheric conditions. It doesn’t take too much in the way of haze or clouds to drastically cut their image quality down.
So much for home of the free.
“Every second, the plane takes a photo of the entire city and all the happenings within a 64sq km radius.”
I’m real sceptical of that claim. To capture a single snapshot of useful resolution over that size area would require terrabytes of information. To do it every second, not to mention downloading in real time? Not bloody likely. Even microwaves would not enough bandwidth.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
