California Policemen...What Was This??

.....perhaps this will end this thread as our intent was *only* to try to find out what the policeman was doing. The lesson is that my husband *should* have asked on the spot...maybe he would have gotten an answer. The policeman probably did nothing that he was not authorized to do. He was not verbally threatening. Personally, I long for a Ron Paul world where communities are policed without *help* from Homeland Security or anything else and the policeman is once again someone little kids look up to. Unfortunately, we all have reason to question surveillance and *unusual/never before experienced" actions.

We called the numbers and they had *no explanation*...just runaround. There was no ticket issued and no failure to yield or anything else. I am looking on the net for a picture of the device so my husband can say...yes, that is it. So far I have failed. Perhaps, I should add that we were told that there had been an accident earlier at that spot. That maybe explains why the policepeople (city) were there. At this point, I believe they were testing a new toy in some way. When my husband turned into the gas station they had someone else stopped & he presumes they did the same thing to that car. The radar setting explanation therefore doesn't seem plausible. I believe this was a device that took a picture of his license and face...then aimed it at some kind of receiving device on his motorcycle that checked it against a database.

I have no problem with the comments made by anyone in law enforcement and I am glad they are on this site. Of course there are "good cops" and if it ever comes to martial law...I hope they remain "good cops" and have lines beyond which they will not venture based on how they would want their parents, grandparents and children treated. I believe there are.

For now, let's just drop it. I hardly was trying to create a panic by explaining what happened here in San Diego. As others have pointed out, facial recognition devices are being used in other parts of California. Hardly a conspiracy...but that does not mean it is right. I am against a system that is taking our liberty away...not against any individual law enforcement officer. What happen happened. I seriously doubt it was radar. But let's just drop it guys. This is not where I intended for my simple question to go.

You can't argue with a bunch of losers who bash cops because of an ignorant stereotype they've developed. It's like arguing with a wall...but you can blame Ron Paul's failure to do even better on the anti-military, anti-police, pro-truther, conspiracy theory obsessed, out-of-touch with reality whack jobs.

These kinds of supporters have certainly turned me off to getting more involved in Paul's campaign. I don't want anything to do with a Meet-Up knowing that I may have to sit there listening to theories about holographic planes and World Trade Center's rigged with demolitions and how Paul is going to expose all of this if elected.

And I know I don't speak solely for myself when I say that these fringe supporters probably turn off a lot of your average American's who just want government out of their life.

Please keep us posted on any new info you might get - I am interested to know what you find out about this!

I am a huge Ron Paul supporter...and I think the people on this thread are exactly why Ron paul was not taken seriously......you people must be the "truthers" as well...Do you really think the San diego police dept was taking facial recognition photos THRU A WiNDSHiELD!!! Get a grip on yourselves. I hope to god none of you need a cop someday..
