Suspicious activity noted ahead of #JadeHelm15
CHINO HILLS, Calif. (INTELLIHUB) — A reader, John Temblador, retired California State Peace Officer, CDC, witnessed a vehicle dashing through a Walmart parking lot on June 4. “at a high rate of speed”, bearing no “E” plate.
Temblador thinks that the vehicle may have been conducting a “covert scan” of some type.
The vehicle appears to be equipped with license plate scanning technology or code catcher technology, aimed both forward and aft to either side of the vehicle to catch every plate in the parking lot.
I would imagine they are looking for people who didn’t renew their registrations.
Here in New York, we have window stickers, but many states have dropped them.
Saw this at the Gwinnett County GA. fair grounds at the gun show. Black Chev, Suburban no plates cameras front bumper, rear bumper and side mirrors. Did not pull into park just keep driving. Have not gone to a gun show after that.
There is a network of private contractors who cruise parking lots with plate scanners. The resulting scans are subscribed to by collection agents looking for cars where the owners have skipped out on payment. What else these scans are used for I cannot say.
Get used to it. In most cases the cameras aren’t as obvious as this - in many cases I suspect it’s unlikely that you can leave your house to buy a quart of milk without your trip being scanned and entered into a database.
The REAL TAKEAWAY here is that there needs to be some serious privacy laws in this area, and NOW!
“Why do they need to scan license plates? They already have a complete list of plates, names, and addresses at the DMV.”
I suspect that the pigs have a bounty-hunter type contract with a private company. When the company finds a hot car (i.e., a car with unpaid parking tickets), they get a reward, as the car is disabled or towed.
Drive through some nice neighborhoods in South Africa. It’s mind-blowing, you can see the future of the United States should the libs achieve total power.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
prolly just some lazy turd circling the lot waiting for a parking spot in the front...
This is the correct answer.
That is not a cop car or gov’t car, it is a private contractor gathering data.
Could be the jokes on all of us. Maybe Jade helm is already happening.
the Gestapo or the KGB or the Stasi would have loved this sort of technology/surveillance.
which is more than enough reason for me to be against it.
Looking for a perp, I would guess.
About a year and some months ago I got pulled over in Tuscon, AZ by a rookie town cop while driving a Nam vet, who had retinal surgery, to get groceries as he had run out of food. We took his Mustang to town and as we were leaving for his home a cop got behind us and after about 15 seconds, hit us with the flashing top apparatus. This cop never got closer than 150 feet when the lights came on. I pulled over and my passenger was all kinds of upset with me, wanting to know what I had done. I had done nothing wrong driving skill wise...but there was a glitch...his registration had been suspended for not keeping up his insurance. After the cop had gotten to the bottom of things he informed me that if it was up to him, that he would have just let me go to get the passenger home with his food, but the plate reader had identified the registration as suspended and he was directed by orders and backup was automatically called in. I had checked the plate expiration before getting behind the wheel and it basically was good for another year. Also, my passenger and the vehicle owner, assured me that all was kosher. The cop, a very nice man in my opinion, showed up in court on my behalf, and the charge of driving a vehicle with a suspended registration, was suspended. He also let me drive the man and his groceries home after the stop, using the same car! He told me that I would not be pulled over again, if I opted for the drive home, which I did. I couldn’t bring myself to not do it. It was the right thing to do. Plate readers can really suck...for both sides of the same story.
Things are getting a little “out there” over JH.
“Drive through some nice neighborhoods in South Africa. “
I’ve done that.
Razor wire,iron bars,and high walls on the homes on most streets and many gated communities.
A nightmare country.

The events you are commenting on have no original connection to the Jade Helm conspiracy theory. What is going on is no more insidious than stop light cameras. It’s all about revenue generation. Next on the agenda? ...Robo Cop Car armed to the teeth. Robots will be replacing traffic cops soon...
They have stationary units that scan license plates at numerous “choke point” locations. Police cruisers also have the same technology. It’s not very difficult nowadays.
IIRC, unmarked vehicles do not use E tags, and such vehicles along with ALPRS are used to track down and thus recover stolen vehicles.
“Things are getting a little “out there” over JH.”
Indeed.
Yep, that’s a bird dog for the repo man. Either works directly for him or gets a finder’s fee.
