The local rag ran a piece about how wonderful it was and interviewed a local resident who said she was "afraid to walk out to her mailbox."
In the "comments" section somebody cited that line saying they were afraid to walk out to their mailbox too, because they were expecting their city/parish tax bill any day :-)
I suppose they could send cops down to watch in person. That is what this carmored ar, er armored car seems to be an attempt to provide a cheap substitute for. They’re watching nothing more than such cops would be able to watch, or what a Google van might be able to see. If it were loaded with “super sensitive” spy equipment, USSC decisions would knock down anything that sprung from what that equipment saw.
Downside, maybe, is that it looks like an easy target. If some hijab-clothed figure came waltzing down the street and set dynamite and blasting caps under the darn thing, wonder if real cops would come quickly enough to prevent it from being demolished.
Now if people come out and surround the van with a carnival or something. I’d be out making a distraction every day.
That is correct.

We need some masked men and women to start streaking and mooning these video trucks. It would make the point that such videos were not suitable for watching. It’s a community type of standard—the American Constitution standards.
The Fire Chief in Washington DC forces his Firefighters to go out with the apparatus and watch the neighborhood when they aren’t fighting fire.
Most stupid thing I ever heard of.
Yet a citizen can’t video a cop in some states....soon in all states.
Breaking News?
One of these days, cops are going to get a surprising answer to that question. They won't like it.
Creepy.
The little town where I live, Austell, ga near Six Flags, has one of these armored trucks, I walk right by it several times a week with my dog, It hasnt moved in several years, I dont think they even bother to cank it and let it run some,
Sitting there going to waste,
What’s the difference between “watching” and providing an “armed guard”?
Ha! I remember, oh holy shit how I remember the flaming I back in the '90's for calling Florida a "police state."
He talks a good game. But, I never hear him mention out of control cops, NDAA, and the other atrocities we are faced with every day. Instead, he salutes our "heroes" in law enforcement. I think he probably is as concerned as the rest of us, but dares not offend his affiliates and yahoo listeners who think only hippies worry about civil liberties.
