Fake Cellphone Towers...

I'm not liking this but if it keeps the bad guys at bay...

You're assuming this isn't the bad guys?...

Nsa.

If you are not a terrorist they shouldn't be a concern.

This is what I tell anyone who will listen to me.

After what's happened over the last 15 years I have absolutely no problem with it.

Are they government or private?

Like I said - if it keeps the bad guys at bay I have no issue but (not to sound like a liberal) it's a slippery slope dealing with personal liberties, infringement of privacy and abuse of power. It's not like any of that has never happened but who is to say that the guys in charge will stay on the just path?

Hey, I'm an open book. Actually I would love for anyone to take time and pay attention to me! I'm an attention junkie you know that. I just can see it getting out of hand is all.

And at first I thought it was bad to expose this in case it was the good guys but by doing it - it tightens their game. Like an internal audit. If some schlock journalist can expose it then the bad guys can as well.

Who gets the privilege of deciding who the "bad guys" are?

There's been a minor 5hit storm locally about this: Sacramento County sheriff acknowledges possession, use of cellphone surveillance technology - Crime - Sacto 911 - The Sacramento Bee

Pretty suspicious that the map shows most of them located near military bases...

Bingo.

As the political winds shift, "friend or foe" definitions do.

Blow one up and I'll bet we'd find out soon enough who they belong to. :cool:
