U.S. Capitol Police will start using Army surveillance equipment to monitor Americans as part of a larger effort to improve security and turn the force into “an intelligence-based protective agency” in the wake of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Last week, the USCP took possession of eight Persistent Surveillance Systems Ground – Medium (PSSG-M) units, fulfilling a request that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved on June 2. The units capture high-definition video and include night vision, but do not feature facial recognition capabilities.
“This technology will be integrated with existing USCP camera infrastructure, providing greater high definition surveillance capacity to meet steady-state mission requirements and help identify emerging threats,” the Pentagon said.
The same technology was used by troops during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to observe large areas day and night.

An American cheka.
More like the STASI with better technology.
Yet they will not show us the video they already have of the events of Jan. 6.
They are turning the Capitol into a zoo.
Pretty soon, they’ll be selling peanuts to throw to the Democrats.
U.S. Capitol Police is morphing into something really bad really fast
Joe Biden: Police ‘Become the Enemy’ When They Are ‘Like the Military Invading’
Stasi.
We understand now why they made sure there was a Capitol incident.
Capitol police are not subject to oversight.
They are run by the federal government and are secret.
Therefore, expand their reach to all America.
we are watching the intelligence and enforcement arm of a Fascist government being created right before our eyes. The Leftist Media is cheer leading all the way.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL!!~ THIS CRAP MUST STOP!!
Body cam video being used as evidence would likely identify embedded government provocateurs.
They are acting like criminals that stole the biggest diamond. They are planning it perfectly they’re coming for us. Even free republic is probably being monitor as we type. Fight for freedom! Too much is at stake here your children’s and grandchildren’s future!
That only applies when the Democrats don’t have law enforcement in their pocket.
So much for Posse Comitatus protections against use of military assets for domestic law enforcement.
Hmm, Wonder what the media’s response would be had Trump done this? (Rhetorical quesrion5 of course)
I think we should be investing in F-15 Eagles and Nuclear Weapons.
When the Republicans retake the house and senate and republican president are in office, can they use the capital Stasi that the left are creating to spy on liberals and monitor them too?
so Politicians can get elected and then destroy the country and be protected by the U.S. Capitol Police , something is really wrong here
More like the STASI with better technology.

More like? How about the present day Guoanbu? The Chinese Ministry of State Security has even more and better tech available to record those who threaten the power, prestige, influence, and wealth of the Party, especially of that of the Chairman.
