Santa Clara County deployed a variety of surveillance techniques on congregants of a local church that met during COVID-19, including tracking phone location data and parking a car in a nearby lot to observe behavior, court documents reported by independent journalist David Zweig reveal.

Inspectors from the county’s COVID-19 Business Compliance Unit spent a total of 51 hours conducting stakeouts near Calvary Chapel San Jose between November 25, 2020 and January 3, 2021, observing everything from Sunday services to baptisms and prayer groups, Zweig reported. Enforcement officers, who were paid $219 an hour, wrote in great detail about church activities, noting each violation of the mask mandate, social distancing policy and state-wide ban on singing.

Everyone involved in this tracking should be jailed, or at the minimum fitted with a location tracker that can be accessed by the public.

The only thing that phone location data is NOT good for is detecting mail ballot box stuffing...

I live in Santa Clara County. The “health director” here is an absolutely insane, power-drunk tyrant, the worst of the worst in the country.

Where is the warrant.

No warrant then lock every one of them up!

[I want the USA back]

The filthy bastards track churchgoers and people who were in Washington on Jan 6. But they aren’t tracking illegal residents.

[null and void]

I’d bet they didn’t track bath house frequenters...

As Dan Bongino has been exclaiming this week, the police state is here and growing in scale.

Maybe we should have a list of names of these overpaid
“Enforcement Officers” and see what they are making in total.

If you attend a rally leave your phone at home or place it in a Faraday bag.

If you need communications at a protest (aka DC), use LORA Mesh Network with custom encryption.

Remember to wear a mask, you do not want to catch Covid, and wear a pair glasses to defeat facial recognition technology. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

Want to beat facial recognition? Get some funky tortoiseshell glasses

We are living in 1984, many do not realize it yet.

Did they do the same for the drug addicts and homeless population? Or only churchgoers?

“state-wide ban on singing”

I’ve seen quite a few people walking around outdoors the past couple weeks with big masks, huge black sunglasses, and hoodies pulled up. You see zero skin or face. They look like the guy in “The Invisible Man.” It is so weird.

[Disambiguator]

They could be human/alien hybrids, for all you know.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

With all the UFOs and balloons, that seems likely.

“quite a few people walking around outdoors “

Was that in Ga? I know antifa is active there.

That’s over $400,000 per year, if you annualize that pay rate.

$455,520, to be exact.
