In this photo taken May 26, 2015, a small plane flies near Manassas Regional Airport in Manassas, Va. The plane is among a fleet of surveillance aircraft by the FBI, which are primarily used to target suspects under federal investigation. Such planes are capable of taking video of the ground, and some - in rare occasions - can sweep up certain identifying cellphone data.

Alleged Government Surveillance In Baltimore Has Citizens Questioning The Secrecy Behind It

Benjamin Shayne told The Washington Post that he was sitting in his backyard Saturday night, when he first saw a plane making small loops over the part of Baltimore where rioting took place a few days earlier as a response to the death of Freddie Gray. Shayne tweeted his confusion and received a reply from fellow Baltimore citizen Pete Cimbolic, who linked the Federal Aviation Administration’s website, which said the plane was registered to NG Research, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation later confirmed to the Post it had provided aircraft to the Baltimore Police Department, though it wouldn’t comment on the exact flights. The American Civil Liberties Union has since accused the government of carrying out secret surveillance over Baltimore, according to the Post, “during a period of historic political protest and unrest.” The FBI did not immediately respond to Bustle’s request for comment.
Sounds like they might be gathering data on those right wing political groups that have been causing so much trouble.
The surprise is that AP is reporting this. On the other hand, since AP is part of the problem, there’s probably a reason this information was allowed to be ‘leaked’ at this time.

Yep,
I think that you and I are the only ones concerned......
Wait, I think I hear something buzzing outside!

Does The FBI Have A Fleet Of Surveillance Cessnas?
Almost all of the 182Ts belonging to the various three-letter acronym companies with Bristow box offices are 2010 models and if they were all purchased in 2010 they represent more than a third of Cessna's Skylane sales that year. According to General Aviation Manufacturing Association data, Cessna recorded 27 182 sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to a combined total of 37 in the rest of the year. The FAA registry says the acronym companies also have at least one 2011 182T, a 2009 model and a few 210s and 206s.

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
That ought to do it.
I wonder if this is why there was an increase in
‘Green laser’ stories on the radio, last week?
We are so screwed.
