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.

i agree with you completely usmc

Prepare to get a ticket in the mail. They were probably photographing him in the car (proof of driver with plates in frame) for something like failure to yield.

This is not poitless, this is another Bill of Rights freedom -- under our Constitution taken away under this phoney war on Terror by the New World Order -- step by step.

The CFR One World Government are stepping up the pace to do away with our civil liberties and our Constituion.

I only learned by reading -- only you can too. Pray over it.

9-11 was an inside job. The so called "Patiot Act" takes away our freedoms.

Google David Rockefeller Bilderberg 1991, and read his comments.

Run for Congress under the Green, Lib or Constitution Party -- our only hopes.

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..

I live near San Diego, they have stop light cameras on every friggin corner. I think I got caught in one today, some douche slowed down in the middle of the intersection when the light turned yellow... and of course Im caught behind them.

In SD they handcuff people just to talk to them, there are constantly police helicopters overhead, etc... In Los Angeles, they have been testing a facial recognition program, maybe they are extending it to SD.

The eltist have the cops trained to be suspious of anyone. The Us vs Them mentality.
Good cops are the ones who still have the commonsense the good Lord gave them to evaluate situations without going off the deep end.
You'll know the bad ones from the first few seconds of meeting them.

This post reminded me of this story I read a while back about cops setting up road blocks and 'requesting' saliva samples.

I bet the Sargent would claim this story is bogus too.

Police are a necessary function of government.
Police at the local level works best.

[T]he choice between a terrorized free country and a less-terrorized police state is a false alternative. There is at root no conflict between the values of liberty and security.

Liberty and security are not opposing goals; to the contrary, the second is a means to the first. A proper government exists to protect the freedom of its citizens, by securing their individual rights. The security relevant in this context is the security from the only thing that can violate our rights: the threat of (initiated) force. A proper government uses its police powers--both domestic and military--to prosecute those who attack its citizens' liberty, whether the attackers are criminals at home or hostile states abroad.

...A government that arbitrarily uses its police powers is destroying the very value it is supposed to be securing--as every police state in history has shown.

Good evening, I read your post above about the officer taking your husbands picture through the windshield. Umm..that is not allowed and I would be shocked if it really happened that way. If it did why did your husband not get the agency name or call the juristiction that the gas station was in..In my opinion the whole incident sounds preposterous..I am a police sgt for a large department in the northeast and officers dont stand in the middle of the street taking pictures of vehicles for no reason...Doesnt happen..please save the conspiracy theories as well...The poster John2k was 100% on the money when he gave everyone tips how to deal with a motor vehicle stop by the police. To the poster who said that they thought it was ridiculous for the police to think a "normal" person reaching for somethng in the back seat should be considered innocent till proven guilty.....many cops have died by thinking that way when that "normal" looking person reached for a weapon that ended their lives....walk a day in my shoes pal.....
