And 10 being 'foaming at the mouth in denial' when told the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So heres a quick exercise comparing logic to foaming at the mouth:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A notation of: Instead of putting in a simple script here with clicking buttons for the answers, we shall do it via creating a mental image, as that helps to get that brain thinking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Picture a policeman(standard uniform) and a bikerman(standard jeans and leather). Now which one do you trust the most? So with your answer, here is the result: If you chose the policeman, well he is being investigated for 3 separate assaults on people and has a court sealed conviction for an undisclosed criminal offense. The bikerman is a well renowned Constitutional lawyer who fights for peoples rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now you are complaining that the test is not fair, since certain criteria was not given.  Ok then, how about the test again:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---Picture a bikerman and a policeman. The policeman is a decorated officer and the bikerman has been in and out of jail for various offenses over roughly ten years of time. Which one do you trust more? Ok your answer is: The policeman. But this policeman is actually a serial killer who is just pretending to be a policeman. The bikerman is actually a homeless guy who we picked up off of skidrow with an unknown history and cleaned up for this exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the first part of this test does is to break open the mind and allows you to see that you can not judge someone based on looks and their style of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second part of the test shows that people lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is another test for the mind of: A cat in a box. Is the cat alive or dead? People will choose alive or choose dead. &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat"&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is another form of the experiment without all the quantum mechanics. It is a simple experiment of: There is a cat in this box. Is it alive or is it dead? There are many people who would answer this question with yes or no. Then there are some people who will ask a question to the question of: Is there actually a cat in this box? This is simply an exercise of: How can someone answer the question if they do not know 100% that there is a cat in the box. For saying yes or no to the mortality of the cat is irrelevant, if there is no proof of a cat being in the box in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok now providing that blood is not dripping from your ears from actually thinking, and hoping you are waking from your drone state of an automaton, here is some more realities...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some signs of being brainwashed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Emotional Connection----&lt;br /&gt;The follower has found the leader inspiring for some reason. Perhaps the follower loves the leader at some level. This love blinds the follower to the leader’s flaws once they manifest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dependency------&lt;br /&gt;The follower, because of her or his adoration for the leader, builds her/his life around the leader. Given the follower’s emotional, and at times financial, investment, it is actually psychologically easier for the follower to deny the accuracy of clear evidence that reveals the leader’s flaws than it is to accept reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suspension of Critical Thinking----&lt;br /&gt;This dependency ultimately leads to a near total suspension of the follower’s ability to analyze objectively and critically the leader’s pronouncements. Anything the leader says—even if it is contradicted by verifiable data—must be true. And instructions must be obeyed. To do otherwise would betray the leader—with whom the follower has now completely identified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dismissal of Dissenters-----&lt;br /&gt;Just as everything said by the cult leader is accepted as “gospel,” those who do raise questions or objections are dismissed peremptorily. Because these concerns often have merit, the typical approach is to avoid dealing with such concerns on their merits, and instead to attack the character or motives of the person presenting concerns. The dissenter is labeled disrespectful, a “troublemaker,” a liar, someone out for her/his own power, or someone in the pay of some outside interest.&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be saying: "Those signs are about being in a cult".&lt;br /&gt;But really, what is a cult?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some more signs of being brainwashed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/578"&gt;http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/578&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Some of the links on this post are from the U.S., but apply globally. The Internet allows people to easily share views and life news. And that is why some power hungry people want an end to the openness of the Internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Beware when your own governments try to align your laws with those of the rightwing of the U.S., as your life and freedoms could disappear in an instant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Make sure to verify who owns each of your own countries media outlets. Censorship happens everyday at various levels of missing data from the article. Censorship can help to further the media owners own plans of world domination or to help his own personal politician.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you continue to cheer and praise that poorly performing sports team with forever devotion? As well as actually threatening people with violence who say to you: "Your team sucks". Can you explain why you are so attached to that team? Is there some type of bond in play here, like that of a mother and child? Or is it a caveman's type of superstition, that your support of the team somehow makes them suck less? There are people who could easily name every player on their chosen team, plus all their statistics, yet this same person will have no clue as to history of this world or what any of their Rights and Freedoms are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When educated people say: "That is illegal, so it needs to be stopped now". Then do people say to that: "It can't be illegal, since it has been done for decades now, so that means it must be legal [foam at mouth] and quit saying that the police are not allowed to break the law to catch that guy who obviously is guilty of something".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your church leader says that: "Abortion and suicide is against god's will and therefor Christian law needs to be applied against people who do not support religious law. Now grab up your impressionable children and lets scream at those that are not like us.". People do tend to forget that church and state need to be fully separated to prevent a particular religions law from violating the rights of those who practice another faith or do not practice any faith.&lt;br /&gt;The derpfest known as the Republican primaries for Republican president candidate is showing how dangerous mixing religion and politics is. Here's a spoiler: Mitt Romney has already been chosen to be the candidate for Republican president.  The rest of the hilarity of the debates is just a show for the impressionable masses. A false production to fool the voters into thinking that their vote or views actually matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/05/opinion/obeidallah-santorum-sharia/index.html?hpt=hp_t2"&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/05/opinion/obeidallah-santorum-sharia/index.html?hpt=hp_t2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those that call themselves 'Libertarians': Do you know what a Libertarian is? It is not someone who calls themselves a Republican/Libertarian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lp.org/platform"&gt;http://www.lp.org/platform&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When certain organizations put out a percentage of driving accidents/deaths that alcohol was a factor in: Do you ask for details on every bit of information in that report, that caused their numbers to be above 32%?(actual above the BAC limit, drunk driver committed death percentage). Is their percentage numbers, for actual drivers who were above the legal alcohol limit? Are their numbers broken down to each numbered level of BAC?(and not just a green, yellow or red light). Would a drunk pedestrian being hit by a sober driver driven vehicle, be considered as a 'alcohol related driving accident' in the statistics? Could a beer transport truck that crashed, be considered an alcohol related accident? When a forklift in a wine warehouse accidentally hits the racks and causes many bottles to fall to the floor, is that an alcohol related driving accident?&lt;br /&gt;Putting out certain percentage numbers, without details of the criteria that created that percentage, is very easily manipulated. For to initially only say about an accident, that 'alcohol was involved', leads to a false perception on what truly caused the accident(driver may of had one beer, so he is still legal. Or his passenger being the drunk, took control of the steering wheel). Maybe even an empty can of beer on the road caused the driver to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid it? Which leads back to the fact that some drivers are complete idiots and should not have a drivers license in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people quote actual, factual history, do certain people say: "Thats not true, since a particular news source(ex: FauxNews, DailyFail, FauxNewsNorth) that I religiously watch says that Obama is a Muslim, born in Kenya and he wants to impose Sharia law on this Christian nation".  People really need to look at multiple news sources.  For to rely 100% on a rightwing site means that foaming at the mouth shall commence since obviously a leftwing or centrist president or prime minister is the devil for re-engaging regulations that actually treat people as actual people, instead of the rightwings version of treating lesser people as undesirables.&lt;br /&gt;These same people who parrot a rightwing talking point will freak out and say you are lying when telling of how their chosen leaders of the rightwing want to do away with pesky things like social security and medicare and make them a 'for private profit company', with the unjustified risks of potential major loss's for the recipients of the programs(meaning a much smaller check every month and needing to go to some third party to get a voucher to be able to see the Doctor, providing the need for the Doctor visit can be proven to get the voucher).&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile they will say that welfare is good to be destroyed, along with all those social programs that fund ungodly things. Since obviously people down on their luck without any programs to help them rise up, can just die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/fearmongering-gets-started-in-2012-laacher-see-is-not-ready-to-blow/"&gt;http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/fearmongering-gets-started-in-2012-laacher-see-is-not-ready-to-blow/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a company says how bioengineering your worldwide food crops is good, do you actually question why the plants are being engineered?&lt;br /&gt;Lets have a look shall we: Genetically modify the plant so it is immune to the companies other highly profitable product called Roundup: Except that weeds are now getting to be immune to Roundup, so time to bioengineer again.&lt;br /&gt;Genetically modify the plant to make it's own pesticide to kill bugs that eat the crop: Except that bugs are becoming immune to the modification.&lt;br /&gt;Well whats the point of this company modifying plants? Profit of course. For you see is that some politician allowed the modified crop to be patented to then allow the company to make millions of farmers pay a fee to use the seed. This even includes farmers who use their own seed, but since some of his neighbors seed blew onto his land, well here comes the expensive to fight lawsuit, demanding payment for using a patented/copyrighted seed, that was trespassing on the innocent farmers land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wakeup-world.com/2011/10/11/indian-government-files-biopiracy-lawsuit-against-monsanto/"&gt;http://wakeup-world.com/2011/10/11/indian-government-files-biopiracy-lawsuit-against-monsanto/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you automatically respond to your politicians call to bomb the crap out of that country with: "Hell yea". Instead of with: "Please show me undeniable proof in a civilian court of law of why we need to kill millions of people?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/05/us-bush-torture-idUSTRE7141CU20110205"&gt;http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/05/us-bush-torture-idUSTRE7141CU20110205&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/09/panetta-admits-iran-not-developing-nukes/"&gt;http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/09/panetta-admits-iran-not-developing-nukes/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Middle East policy is set by Israel, so why is that Israel wants the U.S. to commit genocide of the people of Iran with 5 nukes?(when Israel apparently already has nuclear deterrent capability).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://anoncentral.tumblr.com/post/12465224856/iran-vs-israel-what-the-media-wants-you-to-forget"&gt;http://anoncentral.tumblr.com/post/12465224856/iran-vs-israel-what-the-media-wants-you-to-forget&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A back story long forgotten is that those on the rightwing are still miffed at that hostage crisis in Iran 3 decades ago.&lt;br /&gt;Which is also a reminder that Saddam Husein was a CIA agent who overthrew Iraq on CIA orders and then eventually cut his strings, to then be finally killed by an invasion and war excused by: "whargarble 9/11".&lt;br /&gt;Wheres that picture of saint Ronald Reagan talking to the Taliban leaders in the Oval Office? The same leaders who were abandoned after the U.S.S.R. left Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;It is also amazing on how certain countries that are being promoted as being friends of the western world are actually the ones that keep stabbing you in the back. But oil is money and money is profit and oil must be used until we all die after the oil runs out in 50 years. Meanwhile certain billionaires make sure to block investment and progress on renewable energies.&lt;a href="http://anoncentral.tumblr.com/post/12465224856/iran-vs-israel-what-the-media-wants-you-to-forget"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/05/us-bush-torture-idUSTRE7141CU20110205"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/"&gt;http://www.aljazeera.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;War profit.

Then their reply is something along the lines of: "Heres my gun and heres a bullet in you for not being a true Patriot, you traitor".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certain organizations want people to believe that marijuana is evil and must be kept illegal, because as they say in their propaganda: 'Your first inhale instantly leads to you injecting heroin next to your eyeball into your skull'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/content/2012/01/05/Silly-Stupid-and-Just-Plain-False-Top-Ten-Reefer-Madness-Stories-2011"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/content/2012/01/05/Silly-Stupid-and-Just-Plain-False-Top-Ten-Reefer-Madness-Stories-2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wtsp.com/news/watercooler/article/230351/58/Grandmother-setup-by-a-Pot-pedaling-Smurf"&gt;http://www.wtsp.com/news/watercooler/article/230351/58/Grandmother-setup-by-a-Pot-pedaling-Smurf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/12/cops_destroy_bmw_looking_for_nonexistent_marijuana.php"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/12/cops_destroy_bmw_looking_for_nonexistent_marijuana.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that people from various countries wonder why Canada is a hell hole with rampant illegal drug use, alcohol abuse and spousal beatings?&lt;br /&gt;Why the TV commercials of course. Played every hour. But do not worry. Canadian television stations just needed to fill some time where they did not have an advertiser, we hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone says: "The President of the world, Obama, is so wonderful in all the help that he is doing for the people and he is wonderful for not rushing into unjustified wars/invasion  all over the world.". Do you say to them: "What about the extensions of martial law he has signed?". But someone who actually thinks will reply to that: "Other than extending martial law, at least we are not at war in 2 or more other countries, plus look at the derpfest of the rightwing will you.".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Occupy protests: Not a bunch of dirty hippies. Just people protesting the corruption and the police state we live in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/31/protesters-surge-back-into-zuccotti-park/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/31/protesters-surge-back-into-zuccotti-park/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war on drugs.: Another shining example of prohibition, just like in the early 20th century against alcohol, that created the all powerful Mafia. The war on drugs that has led to Mexico becoming a violent place in some areas. But who can we blame for the violence? Shall we blame a bunch of prudes who want their own personal minority views on things to be mandated on the majority of the population? Here comes the police wagon to put those prudes in jail for endorsing and continuing the death of many innocent people in the name of: "Non-prescription drugs are bad".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science is sometimes being censored when it conflicts with someones own religious views. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ex:&lt;/span&gt; "The moon. How'd it get there? Huhh? You can't prove it got there naturally. Derp."&lt;br /&gt;Science is attacked and ripped apart, as some results are not profitable for the Billionaire who may lose some of his his ill-gotten fortune due to killing humanity with chemicals or other pollution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A private company uses it's owned politicians to say: "That the Internet must be censored to protect the children". But what the company is really saying is: "Our billion dollar profit margin is slightly down, so in order to boost profits per quarter, we need to impose a system of highly profitable revenue generation, by mandating various fee's and censorship firewalls on peoples Internet connections, instead of modifying our business to conform to the future markets".  Piracy actually helps to promote a product to the mass's who then buy the product after the sample. Online gaming has gone to a very profitable method of: "Free to play 20 levels, then if you like it, please pay a monthly fee. We will also continue to upgrade the game in order for you to keep interested".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politicususa.com/en/al-gore-sopa"&gt;http://www.politicususa.com/en/al-gore-sopa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6221/125/"&gt;http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6221/125/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Self defense is a legal Right. And sorry about your bully kids death, but he should of known the consequence's of attacking someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2012/jan/03/collier-judge-upholds-stand-your-ground-defense-ca/?partner=popular"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2012/jan/03/collier-judge-upholds-stand-your-ground-defense-ca/?partner=popular&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For anyone who is or has been involved in conducting clinical evaluations of mental malfunctions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cases in point: Republican contenders for ruler of the world.&lt;br /&gt;In a simple evaluation we see that they keep talking to their imaginary friend and apparently their imaginary friend talks back to them. In these particular cases their friend is named God, but to further delve into their brain, it is a 'Christian god'(denoting a separatist feeling from all other 'gods').&lt;br /&gt;A variant on this 'God talking to me' persona: People will say that the politician is so wonderful with his supporting of God and making God's law, the law of the land. Meanwhile these same people who are so supportive of the politician, will scream for the police when they get 'preached too' by the guy on the corner shouting bible verses while carry a sign saying that the rapture is near. So why is it that one form of 'god talking to me' is so different from the other form?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now in such an evaluation, we are looking at the danger level of this 'friend'. The basis is the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.&lt;br /&gt;We need to determine: 'What is the connection between the two'? On the danger side, we have a mild mannered person who one day switches to the dangerous subconscious personality and goes out and kills many people. Taking a page from the recent murders in Norway and Arizona: What caused the switch is debated on whether they were fully engaged in rightwing talking points and propaganda, which caused the dangerous personality to break free and exercise a mandate to destroy those who are not the same.  This is different from 'this is my land and that is your land'. In these instances, it comes down to: "Your thought process's are about peace and helping your fellow human and I find that may affect me in some way that I can never understand, so I will hate you and try to kill you for not being like me".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then look at the 'bridge function'. Simply it is the communication between the conscious and the subconscious, where the two speak to each other and reply to each other. But where the issue comes in is whether the two are seen as two separate personalities(different entities). An example would be a normally acting person that burns down things, since the subconscious said to do it and then the two will conflict over the implications of the act. The subconscious says: "Good, oh so wonderful, keep doing it and I'll release some lovely internal, naturally produced mind bending drugs". The conscious says: "Why did I do that. Are you sure that was ok? Should I turn my self in?". But the subconscious becomes stronger and continues to prod the conscious to the ultimate doom bringer level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another form of brainwashing is the 'indoctrination fear'. It is where the parent will object to their children learning about: "All humans are created equal, no matter what the education level, monetary values, religion, race or sexual orientations".&lt;br /&gt;A notation of: There is a dangerous line of where certain things are taught, in order to make all the students perfect copies(drones) of the original teacher. That line can fluctuate back and forth while preaching that it is fair, but can also be rather unfair to the particular realm of the species called humans, known as 'individuals'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/new-hampshire-gop-has-gone-completely-deep-"&gt;http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/new-hampshire-gop-has-gone-completely-deep-&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fear of indoctrination can come from paranoia, due to early life lessons and immersion in a grouping of peoples who do not believe in a balanced level of existence(also known as that dreaded evil socialism, that is in some cases conflicting with greed). An example would be: A senior citizen who complains about all the people looking for free handouts, while at the same time wondering why their social security or disability check is 5 minutes late. The senior may reason that he worked for it, damn it!. But times have changed and Billionaires don't really care about the new workers, since interest on those billions is easy to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karl Marx once said: "Capitalism shall eat itself". Capitalisms greed from 2000 to 2008 to get billions of dollars in profit, combined with the removal of regulations that ensured those profits, destroyed many lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to make school actually enjoyable for kids, without long hours and without large amounts of homework due to constantly running out of time in the classroon for some odd reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/13/education/from-finland-an-intriguing-school-reform-model.html"&gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/13/education/from-finland-an-intriguing-school-reform-model.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are so convinced that the world shall end(as per the Mayan calendar) by December 21 2012, that they are already liquidating their money and processions. Some are actually murdering people and then themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Do not be surprised when the murder/suicide rate climbs for 2012, due to those with weak minds acting out on their total belief that they are righteous in their destroying the sin around their little part of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/01/pictures/120103-end-of-world-maya-calendar-apocalypse-nasa-new-year/"&gt;http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/01/pictures/120103-end-of-world-maya-calendar-apocalypse-nasa-new-year/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.discovery.com/human/mayan-region-to-cash-in-on-2012-tourism-120105.html"&gt;http://news.discovery.com/human/mayan-region-to-cash-in-on-2012-tourism-120105.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the failures in the past and then look at the present. Now look to the future and freak out as certain people try to force the failures of the past to get repeated, repeatedly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing how much further civilization can progress when greed, selfishness and religion is taken out of the equation. But then again some people do not know that the current Human species is 'one species', with various models from millions of years of breeding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whats the answer to: Life.

The only way we release it is with a court subpoena.”...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much data being collected on people and vehicles and at times there is rather fuzzy privacy regulations on the protection of that data from agencies that are not entitled to that data.&lt;br /&gt;Privacy laws are meant to protect us, but some agencies see 'digital data' as not private.&lt;br /&gt;Even that little black box in your car(also known as it's computer)  collects accident data of various car settings at the time of the crash.  The data can be flawed in an accident reconstruction, due to various  conditions that truly need visual evidence to properly decode the black boxes reliability as a witness of the accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the future toll roads coming to BC, why don't you ask the government on how long that data is stored.&lt;br /&gt;Is the Data deleted after you have paid the ticket and the money is now in the toll takers bank account?&lt;br /&gt;Or is the data kept for a period of two years for some odd reason?&lt;br /&gt;You can just picture people going to court for either a minor or major case against them and then the prosecutor starts 'trying' to use all sorts of data to make sure the person gets convicted and 'with possible prejudice', due to a long evidence parade of ''''look, look, this person speeds through the automated toll gates and parks their vehicle(automated license plate recognition via the police car patrols) every Wednesday and Friday near that place that is known for bad stuff happening. And their home computer use shows they look at sites that are non-conforming to a drone state of mind'''.&lt;br /&gt;An IP address does not identify the user at the computer/router. Just like a car parked at some spot does not identify who drove that car to that spot. An automated toll gates speed sensing unit can not factor in needs of sudden acceleration/deceleration, due to variables on maneuvering out of dangerous situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comment at the end of article about using the toll gates to punish people for drunk driving. Why do people also ignore that 'actual over the limit impaired drivers' are not being jailed for consecutive months at a time for their supposed crime? What use is a few dollars more, when the government won't use it for jail time for the crime?.... Brainwashing and propaganda hurts us all, so please do not automatically assume a car speeding or crashing is due to being impaired.  The mind needs to properly look at all the variables of the accident scene and not just assume the crash is due to one reason, when we all know that many people die on the roads of North America due to poor road maintenance, as well as drivers who can't drive worth shit and can't even stay in the center of their lane on a curve without going on the shoulder or into the oncoming lane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dozens of sober drivers/people die in BC every year, at certain points in the roads due to "whats a life actually worth to the yearly budget of road safety improvements?". Concrete center barriers are cheap enough compared to "another sober person died at mile marker 45, which brings the sober death toll at that spot to 21, over 10 years.".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-6895254411416337872?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6895254411416337872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6895254411416337872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2012/01/automated-tolls-can-measure-speed.html' title='automated tolls can measure speed'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-291474068883835883</id><published>2011-12-05T21:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T19:19:39.032-08:00</updated><title type='text'>drug testing at work or for benefits is not allowed</title><content type='html'>Just a reminder that drug testing at your workplace or school(grade or university/college) or to get money from government social programs(ex: welfare) is a crime without evidence of drug abuse or use. But then again, Why should your benefits be cut off for having medical conditions? Such as, 'addiction'.&lt;br /&gt;But of course being an alcoholic is somehow allowed in some cases(wine or beer or hard stuff). And further of course is all those legal prescriptions are somehow allowed.  Then there are people getting methadone for their past drug abuse, who may not be able to take a drug test that would show 100% 'clean'. Then there are people who go to partys and don't smoke marijuana, but the air is full of smoke. Then of course there are people who look real bad, but they have a medical condition(ex: lupus for red blemishes on face). Poppy seeds from bagels. Insomnia.&lt;br /&gt;Oh how many things that make a person look like a drunky or junky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is simple law. Show evidence of a crime or be sued for attacking the person with a cup or syringe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/proposal-state-lawmakers-should-1249363.html"&gt;https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/proposal-state-lawmakers-should-1249363.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republican wants to mandate drug testing for people getting welfare(tax payer funded programs). So Democrat then roughly says, 'well if you want to drug test people who receive taxpayer funds, well heres a bill tabled, so that politicians will also get drug tested as well'.&lt;br /&gt;HaHa. Can't be discriminating, now can we......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A follow up: Seems politicians are exempt from the laws everyone else has to abide by. Can't have a two tiered system of 'peasants' and 'overlords'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://onlineathens.com/opinion/2012-01-08/editorial-drug-testing-bill-could-get-interesting"&gt;http://onlineathens.com/opinion/2012-01-08/editorial-drug-testing-bill-could-get-interesting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;....because the state legislature is exempt from the requirements of the state’s open records laws... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;...Thus, lawmakers could conceivably pass House Bill 677 secure in the  knowledge that, if any of them ever did fail a drug test, that failure  wouldn’t necessarily ever have to become public knowledge...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another follow up: A Georgia Republican lawmaker, who wants unconstitutional drug testing of Welfare recipients, gets arrested for driving over the legal alcohol limit of .08BAC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/01/15/404716/republican-sponsor-of-bill-to-require-drug-testing-for-georgia-welfare-recipients-arrested-for-dui/?mobile=nc"&gt;http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/01/15/404716/republican-sponsor-of-bill-to-require-drug-testing-for-georgia-welfare-recipients-arrested-for-dui/?mobile=nc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when Florida was drug testing welfare recipients(before the Feds shut them down), the tests showed such a tiny amount of welfare recipients with drugs in their systems(roughly 3%), that drug testing is bogus and just used to attack innocent people who are not 1%'ers in life. And we can't be discriminating based on social status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://colorlines.com/archives/2011/08/98_of_florida_welfare_applicants_pass_newly_implemented_drug_tests_discrediting_governor.html"&gt;http://colorlines.com/archives/2011/08/98_of_florida_welfare_applicants_pass_newly_implemented_drug_tests_discrediting_governor.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-291474068883835883?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/291474068883835883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/291474068883835883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/12/drug-testing-at-work-or-for-benefits-is.html' title='drug testing at work or for benefits is not allowed'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-2265005030077255165</id><published>2011-12-01T12:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-01T13:22:45.096-08:00</updated><title type='text'>draconian roadblocks ruled unconstitutional</title><content type='html'>Unconstitutional due to the instant conviction by an officer on the side of the road, without the legal safety nets that society relies on.&lt;br /&gt;We always need a way to easily dispute actions done by the police. If the police accuse you of something, they need to have proper evidence of the illegal action, plus the defendant(victim) needs to be able to instantly dispute any ticket and not be forced to be convicted on the spot by a police officer.&lt;br /&gt;With the case of being convicted by a hand held breathalyser that could potentially be faulty or contaminated, well the government and police see instant savings by avoiding the legal system, in order to instantly convict people. And with more instant convictions on the books, well the propaganda will fly out of the government and police offices like a manure spreader on a hot day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The court documents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb-txt/SC/11/16/2011BCSC1639.htm#_Toc310333396"&gt;http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb-txt/SC/11/16/2011BCSC1639.htm#_Toc310333396&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/opinion/tough+impaired+driving+rules+declared+unconstitutional+part+judge+rules/5790600/story.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/opinion/tough+impaired+driving+rules+declared+unconstitutional+part+judge+rules/5790600/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Justice Jon Sigurdson said sections of the Motor Vehicle Act trample on the rights of drivers who blow over .08 on a roadside-screening device because the law does not provide a proper appeal process and relies on what amounts to an illegal search-and-seizure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Drivers who ask for a review are prohibited from questioning the reliability of the screening device and their grounds of appeal are severely restricted, the justice said, so the charter breach can’t be sanctioned given the heavy penalties they face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“This is particularly so considering the province has legislated to base the consequences of a ‘fail’ reading entirely on the results of the screening device.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What comes from this decision is that treating people like 'instant convicts', by the officer acting as judge, jury, and executioner, is illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roadblocks are still illegal and unconstitutional, but Judges allow roadblocks for their supposed safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/03surreyroadblock.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/03surreyroadblock.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government mandates roadblocks, instead of doing things to curtail alcohol serving/sales hours at the bars and cold beer stores and sporting events.&lt;br /&gt;The police like roadblocks as it cuts back on fuel, cuts down on tire wear and reduces patrolling all the areas of their jurisdiction(noting that Judges have ruled that roadblocks are only for looking for impaired drivers and not for the officer looking in your vehicle and insinuating that the DVD player of yours in the back seat is stolen. Or forcing the occupants to open the trunk and various containers to see inside without a warrant).&lt;br /&gt;There are places in the U.S., that due to budget cuts, is the police are refusing to answer some 911 calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legalizing Marijuana results in less accidents and less fights and less crazies that come from alcohol consumption. The alcohol and pharmaceutical lobby's do not want to lose business/money, so marijuana legalization is constantly fought against, behind closed doors. Open government is not open government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.denverpost.com/news/marijuana/ci_19437417"&gt;http://www.denverpost.com/news/marijuana/ci_19437417&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The passage of state medical-marijuana laws is associated with a subsequent drop in the rate of traffic fatalities, according to a newly released study by two university professors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The study — by University of Colorado Denver professor Daniel Rees and Montana State University professor D. Mark Anderson — found that the traffic-death rate drops by nearly 9 percent in states after they legalize marijuana for medical use. The researchers arrived at that figure, Rees said, after controlling for other variables such as changes in traffic laws, seat-belt usage and miles driven. The study stops short of saying the medical-marijuana laws cause the drop in traffic deaths.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-11-medical-marijuana-laws-traffic-deaths.html"&gt;http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-11-medical-marijuana-laws-traffic-deaths.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply: People who smoke marijuana tend to be more relaxed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-2265005030077255165?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2265005030077255165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2265005030077255165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/12/draconian-roadblocks-ruled.html' title='draconian roadblocks ruled unconstitutional'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-1587607031966203258</id><published>2011-11-22T11:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-22T11:44:56.490-08:00</updated><title type='text'>tsa worker arrested for rape</title><content type='html'>One thing to point out.

When you are assaulted by a security guard(by fondling), please scream, RAPE!!!. Also possibly kneeing the perp in the testicles or if he is down low, a knee to the face.  And then make sure you force a real police officer at the airport or border to make an arrest of the security guard. And if the officer refuses to make an arrest and place charges?

The police see the graffiti type stuff. The police then set up two automated 'wild life' imaging cameras in a tree(apparently on private property, even though putting it on public property could be called an invasion of privacy and also warrants need to be issued for, and specific for the action).  The police forget to turn off the 'flash' settings. Artist notices the flashes. Artist gets the two cameras and gives them to his Lawyer. Police now upset that their cameras have been confiscated by the people of B.C.(held in trust by a Lawyer who knows crime laws are meant to apply to all people, no matter what fancy clothes the person is wearing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also can't forget to mention, is that there were some various graphic images on the data cards from other police crime investigations. Ooooop's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police keep forgetting to 'not do the crime, if they do not want to be exposed for their corruption'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/11/15/bc-rcmp-surveillance-cameras-found.html?cmp=rss"&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/11/15/bc-rcmp-surveillance-cameras-found.html?cmp=rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nordick said he believes the RCMP installed the cameras in the trees because he is a graffiti artist and they wanted to track his movements to help determine if he had been spray-painting tags around the community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;He said RCMP raided his home in June and told the local media they found evidence of a grow-op, but no actual marijuana plants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;They also found spray paint and stencils, which they took, he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jesse Gelber, a lawyer for Dion Nordick, sits with one of the RCMP cameras that the Grand Forks, B.C., man seized from trees outside his trailer home. Nordick said he gave the cameras to his lawyer, Jesse Gelber, who said police had no right to be on the property installing surveillance cameras.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“Generally, police don’t have judicial authorization on private land. That’s not legal; that’s trespass,” said Gelber.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CBC news video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/1221254309/ID=2167861195"&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/1221254309/ID=2167861195&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an article from the U.S. on how videoing the police is your Right(also known as Canadians Right of 'freedom of communication'. Also known as protection from 'unlawful search and seizure' of your evidence). You can deny the police from taking the 'video evidence', as you are protecting it for the court case(mention needing a 'on the spot warrant' to make sure others know of the 'evidence', which still could 'accidentally delete' during the transfer, even with a warrant and even with you watching officer fumble thumbs doing it). Do not allow the police to 'confiscate' your video recorder under the guise of "just have to make a copy, oooop's accidentally deleted all the data you stupid citizen". Please act  like a Lawyer to protect your court admissible evidence from the possible destruction of the evidence by the guilty parties(namely the police officers who committed the crime that you recorded them doing). Offer to make the police a copy of the video, that will be delivered to them by sometime the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/obama-administration-says-constitution-protects-cell-phone-recordings.ars"&gt;http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/obama-administration-says-constitution-protects-cell-phone-recordings.ars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you found the police committing illegal acts against you or other people?

Initial answers that contradict the real answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply, do you automatically believe the police or politicians, when told of what happened at some incidence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the person told the lie, under orders, or told the lie to cover up an 'accident' or a 'fit of rage'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too many people are being killed by those in authority and the initial answers from those in power are not always exactly what happened in the incidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Alvin_Wright.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Alvin_Wright.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;November 4, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BCCLA files complaint after RCMP Detachment Head comments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The B.C. Civil Liberties Association is filing a complaint after the head of the Langley RCMP attempted to interfere with the independent review of the shooting death of Alvin Wright. Wright, who had no criminal record, and no history of violence, was alleged by Supt. Derek Cooke, head of the Langley RCMP detachment of attempting to attack a police officer with a knife when he was shot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“The RCMP did the right thing in asking for the independent review, and then immediately turned around and did the wrong thing by telling the independent reviewer what the conclusion of the review should be,” said Robert Holmes, Q.C., President of the BCCLA. “When you go to the press and say here are the facts, and our officers had no choice, why ask for a review?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As early as yesterday evening, the BCCLA was congratulating the RCMP approach to the file, in particular their requests to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner to review the investigation done by the Vancouver Police Department. Now the organization is filing a complaint against Superintendant Derek Cooke, whose detachment had refused to remove the involved officers from active duty – even before the Vancouver Police Department investigation of the incident was complete. The RCMP has confirmed that the release was not approved by E Division.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“In our view the RCMP detachment head is in a conflict of interest and his comments about the event, concerning which he has no first-hand, direct knowledge, are inappropriate,” noted Holmes. “After the RCMP decided to engage an outside review of matters, it would have been far better had he let that process work, instead of offering up his own conclusions.  The perception that such comments may sway the course and outcome of that review will be hard to dispel. The inference that such comments had that as their aim will remain one that reasonable people will have to ponder.  Sadly, as most residents of B.C. understand, often the official RCMP version of events needs critical examination and it is best to wait for a full review by an objective and independent source before coming to a conclusion.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Click here to read the BCCLA letter of complaint PDF&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/pressreleases/11Alvin_Wright_complaint.pdf"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/pressreleases/11Alvin_Wright_complaint.pdf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BACKGROUNDER: THE RCMP AND THE MEDIA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The RCMP has a history of omitting key facts in their media releases to the public about police-involved deaths. Many times, information contradicting the “official” version of events comes out at a coroner’s inquest or through video evidence provided by bystanders or surveillance systems. For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*    Before the video of the Robert Dziekanski incident was released to the public, but after the RCMP had reviewed the video, the RCMP had said that officers “attempted to calm him [Dziekanski] down” and “communicate with him” before Dziekanski “attempted to grab something off a desk.” The video showed that information to be inaccurate or misleading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*    Before the blood splatter evidence in the Ian Bush case in Houston was released, the RCMP had alleged that Mr. Bush was choking the police officer from behind when he was shot. The blood splatter evidence and Mr. Bush’s forensics indicated that Mr. Bush was shot in the back of the head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*   Before the testimony of the forensic pathologist in the Rodney Shane Jackson coroner’s inquest took place, the RCMP had told media Jackson had been shot in the chest, not in the back. Jackson had, in fact, been shot in the back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*    Before the testimony of the partner of the officer who shot an unarmed Kevin St. Arnaud, and before information about the physical evidence was released at the coroner’s inquest, the RCMP had said that Mr. St. Arnaud was standing over top of the shooting officer. In the partner’s version of events, the officer was standing in a “police shooting stance”. The RCMP ordered the partner not to speak to the media. An eye witness said Mr. St. Arnaud was surrendering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*    The video of Mr. Clayton Alvin Willey’s treatment in RCMP cells in Prince George has still not been released, which shows him receiving multiple Taser applications while hog tied, information which was not released by the RCMP at the time of his death in custody, and for which no officer has ever been charged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-6375500200486547222?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6375500200486547222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6375500200486547222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/11/ask-questions-get-answers-be-suprised.html' title='ask questions get answers be suprised'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-2810272640658539838</id><published>2011-10-22T22:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T09:57:15.389-07:00</updated><title type='text'>links to civil liberty associations</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Until the People wake up, the Peoples Rights will continue to be hacked down and destroyed.&lt;/span&gt; Don't wait for someone else to enforce your Rights and Freedoms.

The corruption in the Worlds political system is so entrenched, that peaceful protesters are being beaten for the act of peaceful protests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now people are getting an interesting supporter of their protests. 'Supporter' should be really defined as 'protector'. In the U.S., the Military(retired and possibly active) is starting to move in to protect the protesters from the unjustified police beatings. These military people swore an oath to protect their fellow countrymen and they are wondering why the police are constantly abusing the protesters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YouTube video of a Marine asking police officers what the hell is wrong with them for abusing protesters. In the New York and Boston areas, 'white shirt' police officers are supervisors and have been seen attacking innocent protesters.&lt;br /&gt;United States Marine Corps. Sgt.

We Are Humbled At The Substantial Support OWS America Has Provided And Ask That Everyone Continue As You All Do While We Implement Organization Nationwide. As We All Know, ‘Occupy’ Groups Are Being Established Even Now And Would Like To See This Trend Continue.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Their website OccupyMarines.org presents a post centering on continuing the Occupy movement throughout the upcoming winter. In their call for “Non-Active ‘Occupy’ Military Supporters Only” they’re organizing a dress code in order to identify their branch affiliation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So does Canada's military personal(non-active or even active with a Guy Fawkes mask on) have the guts to protect Canadians from being abused by the police and politicians?  Well no real abuse yet, but remember is that after the city elections in November, protesters will probably be pushed off of public property in one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Public property is such an interesting terminology. It's public property, which should allow people to protest without pesky permits and should allow people to set up accommodations for the protest. But politicians don't care for people protesting corruption and then you have the sad story of how little it is costing the police to patrol the areas of peaceful protesting.  Police patroling areas to make sure that people are safe from harm,,, what a concept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worldwide fugitive George W. Bush was allowed into Canada on Oct,20,2011 and was not arrested by the police. So who is responsible for that? Was it the Prime Minister of Canada? Who is responsible for allowing a known admitted Torturer to enter Canada, without arresting him, in violation of various International Treaties? Who told the police and border guards to allow G.W. Bush to enter Canada and to not arrest him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who runs North America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politicususa.com/en/bernie-sanders-wall-st"&gt;http://www.politicususa.com/en/bernie-sanders-wall-st&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Thanks to Dodd-Frank, a law many Republicans want to repeal entirely, this information is coming to light. Once again, we are Occupying Wall Street because of this very problem. We live in a country that allows the 1% to dictate the lives of the 99% and this investigation is further proof, not to end the Fed, but get rid of the one percenters with in our government. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;German governments Internet Trojan virus has been discovered and more details of this illegal operation are  coming to light.&lt;br /&gt;Considering that the Trojan violates a Judges order on exactly what it can do and also the fact that it is not secure and other parties could take control of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2011/staatstrojaner"&gt;http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2011/staatstrojaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;oct,8,2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The largest European hacker club, "Chaos Computer Club" (CCC), has reverse engineered and analyzed a "lawful interception" malware program used by German police forces. It has been found in the wild and submitted to the CCC anonymously. The malware can not only siphon away intimate data but also offers a remote control or backdoor functionality for uploading and executing arbitrary other programs. Significant design and implementation flaws make all of the functionality available to anyone on the internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Trojan was placed onto a persons computer at an entry point(airport). So when the border guards or police take your computer or smart cell phone away from your sight, what did they do to it? Rootkits, Trojans, Key Loggers, GPS tracking bug. Even your cell phone could have a new software uploaded to it via your Cell phone service provider. The police and government are trying to make sure that you can never disable your cell phones GPS locater. Sure you can shut down the standard GPS locater, but why can't you shut down the 'emergency GPS locater'?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15475258,00.html"&gt;http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15475258,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A second version&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On Tuesday, a pair of German researchers working for Kaspersky Labs, a computer security firm, discovered that there is a second, more powerful version of the Federal Trojan spyware, which can be run on more recent, 64-bit Windows computers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It is also capable of conducting surveillance on a total of 15 applications, including Yahoo Messenger and Internet Explorer, more than the previous version......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.....Beyond political posturing, Federal Trojan-related lawsuits are now on the horizon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On Monday, the Pirate Party in Germany called for criminal charges to be filed in Munich against Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian Interior Minister and Peter Dathe, the president of the Bavarian Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA) on the grounds that they were responsible for this software that is, in the Pirate Party's view, a clear violation of the law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"It follows that a significant suspicion arises from the possibility that those persons who have participated in the operation of the Trojan, those which it arranged as well, those who purchased this computer program, have committed a punishable offense," the party's letter states, which was faxed to the federal prosecutor's office in Munich.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what happens when things, that various government do, is kept in a closed door situation. The government will spew the term 'for national security', but in reality, government is doing whatever they do, due to people not noticing it. It is always interesting to see the government(or a private company) instantly shut down a program when it is exposed, due to the program being illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extortion schemes that target file sharers are being shut down by educated Judges. Especially the schemes where the Plaintiff tries to join file sharers into a class action, to try and achieve the best profitability in the lawsuit. But joining people who do not know of each others existence is not fair. It's like where you could prosecute criminal actions by the police under gang laws(one boss telling the police what illegal actions to do), but using gang laws to prosecute random people who did the same action, is illegal. Also considering trying to fit 5,000 random people in one court room, plus all their independent lawyers, etc..&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget that these Lawyers only have an IP address and what file was downloaded in full or part.  An IP address does not identify the person who did the action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/09/a-massive-collection-scheme-judge-slams-file-sharing-lawsuits.ars"&gt;http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/09/a-massive-collection-scheme-judge-slams-file-sharing-lawsuits.ars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;....some California federal judges have been hammering the lawyers bringing mass file-sharing lawsuits. Add Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman to that list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Last year, On the Cheap LLC sued 5,011 alleged pirates of its porn film Danielle Staub Raw. Zimmerman this week threw out 5,010 of the anonymous defendants. "No courtroom in the building can hold over 200 people, let alone 5,000," he wrote in his order. Even if it could, everyone would have different lawyers, different issues of fact, different defenses—in short, it would be a total nightmare for the efficient dispensation of justice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***********************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video record the actions of the police. Otherwise we are in a dictatorship, where not being a slave is a crime. The police and government record you all the time, so record them for protection of yourself or protection of someone who is being unjustly assaulted by the police. If you want even more protection while you video the police, make sure to have other people videoing the videoing. Only together can we survive this police state. Why not record yourself at a roadblock. But beware, as that may cause you to be assaulted for your actions. And then forward the video to video watching sites or even to various civil liberty associations, or even that Judge that you know. Roadblocks are for looking for impaired drivers and not meant to be used as a generic excuse to look for other crimes. "Papers please. Where are your papers? Refusal to show papers will result in punishment for not allowing a travesty of justice to take place."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/5835723/federal-court-says-you-can-record-the-cops"&gt;http://gizmodo.com/5835723/federal-court-says-you-can-record-the-cops&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Remember that nutcase cop who arrested a bystander for recording a public crime scene? Yeah, that was a violation of the First Amendment, according to the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston. This is great news.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The ruling originates with a suit filed by Boston attorney Simon Glik, who was arrested for recording another arrest in the middle of the Boston Common. You know, the enormous, oldest public park in America. A pretty public place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey governments and police forces.... Quit breaking the laws that you expect the rest of us to follow. The 99% of the World is pissed off at the corruption. And with the military on the peoples side, corrupt Governments will eventually lose. Hopefully the day will not come where an innocent protester is killed by a police officer(or a active military member who was just following orders), whether by gun or taser. For if that day comes, the people will revolt in a large mass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;V for the 99% peoples Victory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-4873927744566208476?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/4873927744566208476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/4873927744566208476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-corrupt-world-we-live-in.html' title='what a corrupt world we live in'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-8233055533534937269</id><published>2011-10-17T22:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T23:07:49.597-07:00</updated><title type='text'>vancouver stanley cup riots due process</title><content type='html'>We wonder if outside sources may be telling the Vancouver police department to just let the whole hockey riot investigation wrap up and 'just let it go man, just let it go'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/bc-politics/stanley-cup-riot-probe-could-take-two-years-say-vancouver-police/article2203778/"&gt;https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/bc-politics/stanley-cup-riot-probe-could-take-two-years-say-vancouver-police/article2203778/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“This could take a year or two years to investigate fully,” Inspector Les Yeo of the department’s riot investigation squad announced during a news conference Monday.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But Robert Gordon, director of criminology at Simon Fraser University, raised an eyebrow at the length of time it might take for some of the rioters to be charged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“It’s inconceivable to me that justice would be delayed as long as that,” he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something called 'delay of due process' and it is meant to make sure that charges are laid in a short amount of time and that after charges are laid, is the defendant is given speedy access to trial(time between charges laid and time to trial). &lt;br /&gt;For leaving very long delays between the criminal act and justice being served, is people(the police have done this method when one of their officers is avoiding trial) get charges thrown out due to the memory of the event becoming vague and possibly riddled with error's of what happened at the crime. Sure there are pictures in this case, but do those pictures show 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' that the defendant did do the crime and was not just posing with a riot in the background.&lt;br /&gt;What may happen is the Vancouver Police Department may finally identify the defendants and forward an initial charge of 'participating in a riot'(the small amount of people for initial charges were sent back for more data being needed). Then if the Crown Prosecutor accepts that meager charge, will the police be able to gather more convictable evidence for the eventual trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the major delay in the BC court system, and if charges might take 1 year at least to be filed against the defendants, and then possibly a two year wait(or more) for the trial, there may be a tendency for the Judge to throw out the charges at the trial date. It would also be possible that the Crown Prosecutor would throw out charges before the court date as well, knowing that due to the delay of justice, why waste valuable court time and money on a case that will be declared void by the Judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the reality people. It may take ten years to remove this delay in the courts, based on a major hiring blitz 'now', of new Judges, plus their support staff.  Meanwhile people keep walking away free and without a record of conviction, due to the delay of due process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-8233055533534937269?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/8233055533534937269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/8233055533534937269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/10/vancouver-stanley-cup-riots-due-process.html' title='vancouver stanley cup riots due process'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-720288579448184100</id><published>2011-10-17T12:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T13:47:53.464-07:00</updated><title type='text'>occupy the world</title><content type='html'>The Occupy protests have come to Canada. And so far, the police are not assaulting people for practicing their 100% Right to peaceful protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some places in the U.S.A., the police are assaulting many protesters and then arresting them. The police's owners have told the police to get rid of the protesters, or at least make sure the protesters are not in a visible place. Various loopholes in the Law is being used to make the protesters not so comfortable for their long stay of protesting on the public property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you get a ticket or are arrested for your peaceful protest? Dispute the ticket in court and tie up the courts time, stating how the officers were wrong for arresting you or giving you the ticket and you want retribution for the crime against you. Does $10,000 per person charged, sound good? The police and government will fight to stop that from happening for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police are 99% responsible for their assaults that they are committing against innocent people. The protesters did nothing to allow the police to attack. The police put on their Slave Masters hat and told the protesters to: disperse, the park is closed, cleaning crew coming in. And the greatest bit the police say? "You protesters are causing the government/police to spend money to make sure the protests stop. Waaaaaa."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corralling protesters is also being done to make the protesters surge forward(lightly bump containment fence), in order for the police to unjustly attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Protesting is a Right. But Billionaires and the RightWing don't like the Leftists and the Centrists protesting the corruption in this World.&lt;br /&gt;The RightWing even does an age old thing of sending in secret agents to mesh into the crowd, in order to either learn their secrets, or to cause a commotion to give the police just cause to start attacking the peaceful protesters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tea Party members(also known as Tea Baggers) are quite upset at the justified protests and will put lots of asinine remarks in the comment sections of the media, in order to try and swing public opinion away from supporting the 99%.  Tea Baggers are slaves of the 1%.  The Koch brothers own the Tea Party and will send out marching orders to make sure billionaires can continue to rape and pillage the population of the World.&lt;br /&gt;The Media tried to ignore the start of the Occupy movement, but then it spread to many places. So they can't ignore it anymore. The RightWing Media has also gotten very nervous and is ramping up their propaganda efforts, with many fabricated articles to try and discredit the Truth of the Occupy movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/10/17/bc-occupy-vancouver-victoria.html"&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/10/17/bc-occupy-vancouver-victoria.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Norman Ruff, a professor emeritus in political science at the University of Victoria, said the protests prove young people are not disengaged from politics, just from mainstream political parties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"They were talking about economic unfairness. They're talking about the inequality in our societies," said Ruff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"The other thing that struck me was the preponderance of young people. Those age groups aren't voting in federal or provincial politics. Clearly it's a mistake to say the young are apathetic and have removed themselves from politics. They're taking part in another form of political activity."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ruff said politicians should be paying attention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Any politician who just dismisses this as an isolated protest could be in for a surprise down the line ... what I think is happening here is a change in the political agenda."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not ever forget that Conservative = Republican. They are looking to take over Canada, in order to exploit us in the name of Greed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;___________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was an TV news interview of David Eby of the BC Civil Liberties Association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/"&gt;http://bccla.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said things roughly like...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can wear a mask in Canada to hide your identity, as some people at the protest may not want their boss's finding out that they were at the rally. (((Take note that some places in the U.S. have made it a crime to wear a mask, as innocent you, may suddenly decide to rob a bank. And at Halloween little kids are not rounded up by the police for wearing masks))). (((&lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/V_for_Vendetta"&gt;Guy Fawkes masks&lt;/a&gt; are used by anonymous to keep anonymous, under these World Wide Totalitarian governments.))).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is disturbing that the police want protesters to take pictures of the protesters and turn those over to the police. (((Why don't the protesters take pictures of all the officers there. Try to include their badge or name tag in with the picture of their face. The police do it to innocent you, so turn about is fair play))).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police are trying to make it look like the protests are a threat to the public and for the police to say that is anti-democratic. (((It is called a thinly veiled threat against anyone who might think of participating. The police don't care who they pepper spray and it has been shown many times, that the only reason for an attack on protesters, was because a higher up told him too))).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile as the police and government continue to unlawfully collect peoples DNA samples, the police are saying 'no' to collection of their own DNA.  The police seem to be giving the same reasons that the rest of do. Which is, "unless a person is a 100% suspect of a major crime, you can't collect their DNA". The other reason is very simple, on how that DNA is going to be used. And once collected and a person is declared 'not a suspect', is the DNA sample destroyed? Nearly all Prince George BC Cabbies were forced to submit DNA samples to exclude them from being a suspect in a serial killer investigation. But did any of the officers, who were in the area during the killing times, give a DNA sample to prove their innocence? And did all that Cabbie DNA end up in Canada's crime bank? Or was the samples destroyed, since there is zero reason to keep it?&lt;br /&gt;Lets take note of how the Labs processing these DNA samples, is that they are doing the 'quick test', to save time and money. So instead of the sample matching one person, the sample will match 10 people. Then those people(if a sample is on file) are brought in to try and prove their innocence.  Just another example of flawed police work, that could convict an innocent person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44921590/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/police-cite-privacy-concerns-over-their-own-dna/#.Tpt1gyzheak"&gt;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44921590/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/police-cite-privacy-concerns-over-their-own-dna/#.Tpt1gyzheak&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"It's not that the law enforcement officers are opposed to giving up their DNA," he said. "You need to have safeguards in place. Something that can tell you ... something intimate about someone needs to be treated with the utmost care."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rief and officers in other states say their concerns include management using the DNA information to see if employees are predisposed to diseases and to predict workers' future health problems. The rank-and-file also don't want their DNA placed onto a national database that holds criminals' genetic data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Connecticut state police officials tried to get the legislature to approve a law requiring officers to provide DNA samples in 2009, but the bill died during the session after Rief and others spoke out against it at a public hearing at the Capitol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In Chicago, police officers rebelled with a work slowdown in 2008 because of resentment toward their new chief over several issues, including a new policy to collect DNA from officers working at crime scenes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In a still-unresolved dispute in Los Angeles, the police union and top brass have traded salvos over a requirement that officers give DNA samples in shootings involving police and other use-of-force incidents. Union leaders say management won't restrict how the DNA information is used and stored, and the union cautioned officers in 2009 about potential privacy and misuse problems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-720288579448184100?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/720288579448184100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/720288579448184100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-world.html' title='occupy the world'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-3570286289069251744</id><published>2011-10-15T11:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-15T11:23:53.571-07:00</updated><title type='text'>city council meetings in secret</title><content type='html'>Have you ever wondered what 'in camera' means for city council meetings?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it does not mean that cameras are there recording everything, so that people can see what council was talking about in a 'closed door session'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why does council need to talk in secrecy?&lt;br /&gt;Isn't all city business supposed to be public?&lt;br /&gt;Why can't you get the documents for the secret meeting?&lt;br /&gt;Why do council members that speak in public about the secret meeting, have the police arrest them or have their computers confiscated?&lt;br /&gt;Why do councilors who try to record the secret meeting, get kicked out if they do not turn off the recorder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It really should be a crime for council to talk or meet in secrecy.  Open government is an accountable government. Otherwise all you have is a Dictatorship. And as with many Dictatorships over the years, the people rise up and remove the Dictator.&lt;br /&gt;Oh and Government and police... Please quit threatening the Occupy people for enforcing their Rights to peaceful protest. The people are tired of the police being instigators of the mild violence that has been happening. Self defense is being practiced by the protesters when the police assault peaceful protesters with pepper spray. And self defense is a Right, no matter what clothing the attacker is wearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theprovince.com/news/Focus+camera+meetings+Union+Municipalities+gathering/5456782/story.html?cid=megadrop_story"&gt;http://www.theprovince.com/news/Focus+camera+meetings+Union+Municipalities+gathering/5456782/story.html?cid=megadrop_story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Brian Skakun doesn’t want municipal politicians to be able to hide behind the veil of in-camera meetings held behind closed doors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That’s why the Prince George councillor, who was convicted and fined for leaking in-camera information, will be urging delegates at this week’s Union of B.C.

Just pay the ticket or be punished for your questioning of accuracy of the ticket. It may only be a 4 dollar toll ticket, so why not spend time making sure that thousands of people are not being ripped off for corruption of the data in the toll ticket stream. A 3% error rate adds up over time. The low dollar amounts of the toll ticket, may discourage people from fighting for justice. An unjust ticket can be construed as theft. You could also file a small claims lawsuit to get back your lost wages of the day, unless of course, the government has made arrangements to block that from happening. Heck, you could even name the BC government in the small claims lawsuit, as an accessory to the inaccuracy of the system. But the powers that be, tend to discourage making justice work for the peasants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This particular town did things with the speed cameras, in order to make a few extra dollars. So a 6 million dollar lawsuit and fines refunds ensued.

The plaintiffs further allege the city and firm  are "threatening criminal prosecution for contempt of court and  suspension of driver's licenses" if the fees and fines aren't paid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The action also alleges the city created a "speed trap" on the  section of Highway 11E under enforcement by the city's cameras by  dropping the speed limit from 55 mph to 45 mph less than a mile from  where the cameras are posted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-9043209764651275510?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/9043209764651275510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/9043209764651275510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/10/speed-cameras-and-flawed-administration.html' title='speed cameras and flawed administration'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-934885710682124149</id><published>2011-10-14T13:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-14T14:42:34.386-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Occupy the world or be abused for all time</title><content type='html'>The 'Occupy' protests are continuing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Right Wingers(Republicans, Conservatives) really hate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is about trying to end corruption of our World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trying to end the assaults and murders by those in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trying to get the Rich to release control and to stop manipulating our Politicians and legal system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing what cities Mayors actually feel good and care about the people protesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing what cities Mayors are nothing by Goons, who will send the police out to break a few souls with pepper spray and night sticks.  As well as arresting people for trespassing on public property. So how do you trespass on public property? Oh, Oh, heres come the book of rules for how that public property is governed. It seems to say, 'You need a permit to protest anything here and permits may take a few months to authorize.'  So that would mean that protesting the need to get a permit would somehow not be allowed either.  Entering city hall may get the doors locked to keep people out. But it's public property, right? How can the public be denied entering a building that the public owns?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police forces who will manipulate the crowd or embed their undercover officers in the crowd, in order to attack innocent people. As the embedded officers cause an illegal act or the crowd is blocked during their march over a bridge, causing the crowd to start walking on the roadway and therefore causing the officers to be justified(imaginary) in writing tickets and arresting hundreds of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/10/14/bc-occupy-vancouver.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/10/14/bc-occupy-vancouver.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The protests have been inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York where protesters have been camped out for a month protesting the financial practices that they say led to the global economic crisis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;They blame corporate greed and political influence for increasing poverty, unemployment and homelessness around the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Since then the idea has spread to an estimated 1,500 cities around the world including at least 15 across Canada, with many planning events for October 15.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"A lot of the wealth of our society, and not just the money, but the environmental wealth and the public good and what not, are being siphoned off into profit by corporations. And so it's really I think what people are asking for is a rebalancing," says UBC Law Professor Joel Bakan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"What unites all of these things is that people want to live decent lives, secure lives, lives were they have shelter, where they have a clean environment, where they have access to education, where they have access to healthcare, and they are not getting that in our current society," he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And why has Canada's economy not crashed like the United States?  Simply, "regulation's". Mortgage regulations and banking regulations that stop money from being lent to people who can not afford to pay the money back.  We still have also managed(but not for long) to hold on to 'truth in the media laws', but Prime Minister Harper would like to get rid of that, so SunTV News(FoxNews North) can spew propaganda at the Sheeple, in order to keep a Republican/Conservative in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. people also stupidly voted in a 'Republican majority congress', a couple of years ago(people thought the economy would instantly rebound after the Republicans destroyed it, under the Democrat president, and did not wait for long term results from the Democrats), resulting in the Republicans blocking any economy increasing bills. The reason for the blocking is to make sure that The Democrat President Obama does not get re-elected for a second term. Even if it means completely destroying the United States in the process.&lt;br /&gt;We have already avoided two wars under the Democrats(Libya, Iran and a potencial invasion of Mexico to combat the drug war).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A German government Trojan Virus, that they put on a persons computer, as the person came in to Germany, has been identified. The German courts had said the Trojan was only allowed to tap in to VOIP communications, but the Trojan could easily do much more. The Trojans control channels could also be easily taken over by anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;Do not ever let your computer out of your sight at any police or border controlled point. Otherwise you may now have an infected machine and anything you do on the computer, or even smart phone, can be monitored for the life of the product.&lt;br /&gt;If you get stopped for a traffic ticket or roadblock, and the officer asks for your phone,,, Don't do it. Simply refuse and ask for warrants. It will piss off the officer, but it will prevent all your data from being downloaded to a little black box that the officer may have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2011/staatstrojaner"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2011/staatstrojaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Chaos Computer Club analyzes government malware&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2011-10-08 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The largest European hacker club, "Chaos Computer Club" (CCC), has reverse engineered and analyzed a "lawful interception" malware program used by German police forces. It has been found in the wild and submitted to the CCC anonymously. The malware can not only siphon away intimate data but also offers a remote control or backdoor functionality for uploading and executing arbitrary other programs. Significant design and implementation flaws make all of the functionality available to anyone on the internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The analysis concludes, that the trojan's developers never even tried to put in technical safeguards to make sure the malware can exclusively be used for wiretapping internet telephony, as set forth by the constitution court. On the contrary, the design included functionality to clandestinely add more components over the network right from the start, making it a bridge-head to further infiltrate the computer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in prison escape news.....&lt;br /&gt;Prisoner escapes and eventually ends up in a corn field(fall harvest time soon).

Some schools in the name of, 'prepping the youth of today, for the world of, same old shit', continue to abuse the kids, in order to mold them in to obedient drones. Why yes, abuse can more than just hitting a person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Freedom of Communication/Speech is a Right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok lets start with schools banning those 'I love boobies' bracelets, that are for breast cancer awareness. So whats wrong with them? Are the administrators embarrassed at the thought of the youths openly talking about breasts and cancer? Are the administrators having confused sexual feelings from seeing young ladies(or males) with the bracelets on?  Do the administrators think some type of secret code is being shown with the various colors of bracelets, of how the kid supports all sorts of causes? These same administors will also ban 'spaghetti strap tops', due to seeing bra straps or not seeing bra straps(strapless bra or someone who doesn't need a bra, like other women have been programmed to wear a bra).  Oh the humanity when a young male takes his shirt off to play shirts and skins sports. But male nipples/non-breasts are taken as being non-threatening, to supposed public decency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/10/13/bc-schools-ban-boobie-bracelets.html"&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/10/13/bc-schools-ban-boobie-bracelets.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A Kelowna BC middle school has banned students from wearing popular breast cancer awareness wristbands because they say the bracelets are inappropriate/offensive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The bright green bracelets, which have the slogan 'I [love] boobies!' printed on them are part of a youth-oriented breast cancer awareness campaign by Keep A Breast Canada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the site of the 'I love boobies', with a form letter to send to your various school administrators and teachers.  1 copy sent to every teacher/administrator should be good, times how many students in the school. Oh and some teachers/administrators may become angry over hundreds of letters flooding in to their in-boxes, but you are making a legal point, in a legal peaceful way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.keep-a-breast.org/braceletbanletter/"&gt;http://www.keep-a-breast.org/braceletbanletter/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could also add various quotes from the Constitution and Civil Rights bills and Students Rights publications.  Don't allow yourself to be abused in the name of Fascism(unwarranted searches of person, bags or lockers). The legal system applies everywhere. Don't be abused in the name of localized rules that violate your Rights and Freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/positions/children/96studentconduct.html"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/positions/children/96studentconduct.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/positions/children/69interrogation.html"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/positions/children/69interrogation.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/rightstalk/fundamental_freedoms.pdf"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/rightstalk/fundamental_freedoms.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All available from the BC Civil Liberties Association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/index.html"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well heres another case of abuse(call the police and place charges of assault). A black student with shaved patterns in his hair, gets attacked by a teacher with a black permanent marker and she fills in the non-hair parts with the marker. Somehow after having his hair style for a long time, all of a sudden he is now violating the school dress code.  Which leads to an interesting question by people, "what if a dark haired youth, dyes their hair blond. Would the youth be attacked with a black sharpie, in order to make the hair dark again?"&lt;br /&gt;School dress codes are a violation of your Rights and Freedoms. Wear jeans. Wear a t-shirt. Dye your hair purple. Have multiple piercings. Nothing at all wrong or illegal with that. But the Over-lords do not like the youths expressing their individuality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ksla.com/story/15670845/school-fixes-grooming-violation-with-a-sharpie"&gt;http://www.ksla.com/story/15670845/school-fixes-grooming-violation-with-a-sharpie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;School administrators Tuesday said they regret not calling his parents  and don't plan to handle the hair designs the same way again. The  principal, who started her first year at the school this August, said  she was told by another faculty member that they had handled the problem  with a marker in the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For students that are being abused by school officials for being different or supporting people who are different. This is a clear case of assault and intimidation. The police should of been called to come immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/tennessee-student-alleges-principal-assaulted-gay-shirt/story?id=14674464"&gt;http://abcnews.go.com/Health/tennessee-student-alleges-principal-assaulted-gay-shirt/story?id=14674464&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Last Tuesday, a teacher told Sigler to cover up the shirt, but he resisted and wore it again on Friday. Moser ordered all the students out of the classroom, according to the Siglers, except for his sister Jessica, who refused to leave her brother.&lt;br /&gt;Both students allege that Moser then grabbed Sigler's arm, shoved him and chest-bumped him repeatedly while asking "Who's the big man now?"&lt;br /&gt;Linda Sigler said that when she arrived, Moser was leaning over Chris, "right in his face." The Siglers filed a report about the incident that afternoon with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department.&lt;br /&gt;The ACLU, in conjunction with the ACLU of Tennessee, sent a letter to the school district today demanding that students' rights to free speech be protected in the classroom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;They say that Chris' efforts to start a GSA have been thwarted by the school's administration and his free speech rights have been violated. The ACLU alleges that Moser had previously threatened to punish students who circulated petitions about the club. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2011/10/petition-urging-investigation-of-school-principals-assault-reaches-83000/"&gt;http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2011/10/petition-urging-investigation-of-school-principals-assault-reaches-83000/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;MADISONVILLE, Tenn. — More than 83,000 people have signed an online petition at Change.org, demanding that authorities launch an investigation into allegations that a Monroe County Tennessee high school principal assaulted a student for wearing a homemade t-shirt in support of another student’s efforts to form a Gay-Straight alliance in the school, reported the Knoxville News Sentinel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Chris Sigler, a 17-year-old Senior, was reportedly shoved, bumped in the chest and verbally harassed by Principal Maurice Moser of the Sequoyah High School in Madisonville. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheerleaders banned from wearing shirts that signify 'feeling for breast lumps', during a fund raiser for breast cancer. It sure is lucky that these administrators weren't around in caveman days. The human race would of died off. For you see, is that humans at the age of puberty, would then have sex and replicate the species. Humans at the time lived to about 30 years of age, if lucky. Condoms(usually free) for this modern time available at Health centers, as that ignorant form of pregnancy prevention 'abstinence' does not work and results in more pregnancies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2011/10/13/cheerleaders-chastised-for-inappropriate-breast-cancer-t-shirts/"&gt;http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2011/10/13/cheerleaders-chastised-for-inappropriate-breast-cancer-t-shirts/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cheerleaders at Gilbert High School in Gilbert, Ariz., can’t wear the pink t-shirts they bought to raise money for breast cancer research because the school’s administrators claim the slogan they bear is inappropriate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;According to a Thursday report in the Arizona Republic, the squad’s shirts say “Feel for lumps, save your bumps,” and the team planned to wear them during the school’s football games during their cheers on the field and while collecting money from the crowd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not be forced to wear a uniform for public school. You can not be denied an education for refusing to wear the drone-wear.  Please ignore the propaganda of, 'wearing a uniform puts the student in school mode, and therefore causes a much better work ethic'.&lt;br /&gt;Males  and Females can have their hair anyway they want. Hanging down their back. Cut in interesting shapes. Dyed in colors. Cut really short. It's your body, so don't be abused, to conform to one persons twisted view of life.&lt;br /&gt;Wear clothing that is you and is comfortable to wear. Even put on some temporary tattoo's, without fear of being taken out back to be cleansed of that body art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those in power will abuse those who have been told they have no power. But you do have power and it's time for you to rise up and state that we are all equal and that you will not be abused anymore. But beware of those in power making others around you their minions, to instigate punishment for your legal actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-2103352284150733859?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2103352284150733859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2103352284150733859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/10/schools-can-be-such-bullies.html' title='Schools can be such bullies'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-7164829243154663865</id><published>2011-10-14T10:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-14T11:50:52.223-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ticket quotas</title><content type='html'>Ticket quotas do exist. Otherwise why would the police be so busy with speed traps after a week or two of daily miserable rainy weather. Yea, it is miserable to write traffic tickets in the rain, so when the monthly ticket quota is low, you have to make up for it at some point. But since officers don't patrol the area's in their jurisdiction very much any more, ticket quotas for speeding is always a mandate to generate revenue. Patrolling relates to seeing other traffic violations, resulting in writing tickets for more things. The powers that be, don't like people disputing tickets that are not speeding tickets. As a speeding ticket is just a write it and generally the person pays without dispute, but another type of traffic violation ticket may be disputed, which brings the overloaded court system in to play. And the government really hates to pay for the courts and jail system, so drivers can drive really bad, as long as they don't speed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets look at the other ticket quota. It has more to do with the 'war on non-pharmaceutical drugs' and how officers will use intimidation to make people allow an unlawful search of their person or vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/10/ex-nypd_detective_police_plant_drugs_on_innocent_p.php"&gt;http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/10/ex-nypd_detective_police_plant_drugs_on_innocent_p.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Former NYPD Detective Testifies That Police Regularly Plant Drugs On Innocent People To Meet Arrest Quotas....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A former NYPD narcotics detective testified on Wednesday that he regularly saw police plant drugs on innocent people as a way to meet arrest quotas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Most people arrested for marijuana possession are not smoking in public, but simply have a small amount in their pocket, purse or bag. Often when police stop and question a person, they say "Empty your pockets" or "Open your bag." Many people comply, even though they're not legally required to do so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;If a person pulls marijuana from their pocket or bag, it is then "open to public view." The police then arrest the person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Most of these arrests are the result of illegal searches by the NYPD, as  part of its stop-and-frisk practices. Marijuana was  decriminalized in New York state in 1977 -- and that law is still on the  books. Smoking marijuana in public or having marijuana visible in  public, however, remains a crime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So New York has legalized marijuana, but the loop hole is that the drug can not be seen on public property. But people sitting on their front porch having a smoke of the drug have been busted for the marijuana being visible to the public. Kind of like prostitution being legal, but the patron negotiating with the proprietor for payment amounts, is illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alcohol and pharmaceutical industries keep pushing money towards initiatives to keeping marijuana illegal. Since people have a safer way to get a buzz on, with marijuana, without then assaulting people or having vehicle accidents due to the side effects of alcohol or pharmaceuticals. Keeping marijuana illegal makes sure that profits don't dry up for those industries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we look at part two of making marijuana legal, which would be it's effects on reducing grow-ops. But as politicians make loop holes in laws, growing the stuff would probably still be illegal, so what use is making possession and smoking of it legal, if people can not grow their own or purchase from reputable source. Even the California medical marijuana stores are being told to close down or be busted for Federal laws violations(one year to election of President and a very hostile republican congress and the President not wanting to give ammunition to the opposing tribe). Another catch 22. State law says it's ok and federal law says it's not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When an officer catches someone with illegal 'non-prescription' drugs on the person(and occasionally with a large amount of prescription drugs that are not authorized for the person), the collection of the drug evidence is truly on the honor system. So  how the evidence is collected and weighed for a possible court case, is up to the honesty of the officer.  Or as people who have been busted might say to the officers, "buy your own stuff and don't steal it from the people you bust".&lt;br /&gt;Then we also look at how the officers(for the media propaganda) price out the street price of the drug collected. There was a news article a while back, where the officers called about 10 marijuana plants that were about 12 inches high, the full street price of fully mature and harvestable plants.  And the other part of the price calculation will use parts of the plant that is not smokable. So you end up with stems and soil being used to give the weight of the bust, to then give a street price. And the silly media gobbles it all up without question.&lt;br /&gt;In the U.S., officers have even called ditch weed(wild hemp) marijuana and then puffing out their chest in the media on how important it was to bla bla bla. Of course though these same types of officers will go crazy over poppy's on the side of the(sometimes planted by the county for beautification), as poppy's could be used to make drugs(reasoning of, poppy = opium = heroin).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war on drugs is quite ignorant at times. Even farmers who have gotten permits to grow hemp, have eventually quit growing it, as stupid kids(and sometimes officers for the war on drugs) will harvest bit's and pieces of the small crop. The kids have been kept ignorant about how hemp does not have the THC that causes mellowing effect of marijuana.&lt;br /&gt;Hemp is a crop for making clothing and other things, but keeping people ignorant allows for manipulation and dominance over the Sheeple.&lt;br /&gt;Even the safe injection site in Vancouver BC's east side, is being allowed to operate 100% perfectly legal, via a Federal court case. The program works and why ban something that works. Oh right, the war on drugs. Duhhh.  The 40 year war on drugs has brought lots of things to this world, like the Mexican drug gangs and tens of thousands of people dead. Oooop's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-7164829243154663865?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7164829243154663865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7164829243154663865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/10/ticket-quotas.html' title='ticket quotas'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-7697905842541710264</id><published>2011-10-12T11:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T13:26:06.910-07:00</updated><title type='text'>how accurate is the breathalyzer</title><content type='html'>Interesting article on the breathalyzer called the Intoxilyzer 8000.  An in-station breathalyzer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/214931/8/10-News-Investigators-Charges-that-FDLE-covered-up-faulty-DUI-machines"&gt;http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/214931/8/10-News-Investigators-Charges-that-FDLE-covered-up-faulty-DUI-machines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;VENICE, Florida -- Thousands of people in Florida convicted of DUI may not have been drunk at all. They very well may have been under the allowable blood alcohol limit. The problem may have been law enforcement not calibrating the breathalyzer called the Intoxilyzer 8000.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Now, the 10 News Investigators have uncovered documents and emails that prove the state knew there were problems and didn't do anything to correct it for more than two and half years.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"I agree that drunk driving is wrong. We need to get drunk drivers off the road, but we should not be convicting people of drunk driving with evidence that we know is not reliable," says former prosecutor turned defense attorney Robert Harrison.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"As a prosecutor, your number one goal is justice and that does not mean convict an innocent person. You only want to use good evidence," says Harrison.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that someone never bothered to have it calibrated to ensure that the alcohol reading and breath air-flow were accurate. A coverup was then performed by various powers, to try and stop the victims of the uncalibrated machine from learning that they were being convicted based on fraudulent evidence.&lt;br /&gt;How many people have, as part of their defense, ordered/requested that all service records from the breathalyzer(hand or station unit) be shown in court? People have tried and then the breathalyzer company puts a block on the details of the unit, due to certain 'proprietary confidentiality'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A conviction based on faulty evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A blood sample is the only 100% reliable way to check for BAC(blood alcohol content), but the government finds that unacceptable(due to costs and the need to get it at the hospital's sanitary conditions). And the police don't want to spend the time and money for that 100% accurate reading. And if the police were to use blood samples, how can the public be assured that the police and government are not taking those blood samples and extracting a DNA sample for Canada's growing DNA identification bank.  Doesn't matter if you are innocent or guilty, the government will take it for their crime files anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now what happened to all those new born Baby blood samples, that the BC government decided to keep on file?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In British Columbia, the government is allowing the police to do away with the in-station unit as the verification backup reading for court, and relying on the hand-held unit for the instant conviction on the side of the road.  News reports are the officers like convicting a person on the side of the road, with only a 30 minute trial on the side of the road. Since officers seem to not like having to spend 2 hours, taking the person to the Station to get a climate controlled, secondary verification, alcohol reading. Since when one officer goes to do his job properly, well that cuts back on the threatening force at the illegal roadblock.&lt;br /&gt;Roadblocks are only allowed to look for impaired drivers, as per a Judges order.  So why the news items on someone being busted for some other crime at a roadblock? A bust that came from forcibly stopping vehicles to determine innocence. The more you know, the less abuse people will eventually get from the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/03surreyroadblock.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/03surreyroadblock.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When an over the limit drunk driver is caught, proper protocols should be the 'over the legal alcohol limit' person is processed and then put in jail(officer will call in civilian to monitor the person in the jail cell) and then taken in front of the Judge for bail and release.  But that costs money and since BC has not bothered with hiring enough unbiased Judges over the years to actually process jailed people in a reasonable amount of time, well the system breaks down and you end up with people being convicted by an officer on the side of the road without any trial and without a proper verification of alcohol readings.&lt;br /&gt;Oh but the officer says, "I did do 3 readings with the hand-held breathalyzer, so that means the instant conviction was accurate within roughly 5% of each reading".  But then the victim says, "But if your hand-held unit is not properly calibrated, well what use is it using the same unit 3 times?"&lt;br /&gt;People have probably already forgotten when the BAC limit was changed to a different %BAC for the warning and instant conviction. Well the units were putting that warn level and conviction based on 5%BAC and not based on 6%BAC. But people still paid their $1000 fine and the government and police probably said 'tough shit' suckers. 'No contesting and no return of your money', 'and forget about monetary restitution for the criminal act committed against you'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term 'unbiased Judge' means you do not promote a Lawyer to a position of a Judge, when that Lawyer dealt with protecting people who are definitely guilty of a crime. If the Lawyer always protected police officers from conviction(where video evidence showed the crime), based on slight of hand and destroying the witness, would you call him unbiased?  If a Lawyer protected regular people via inconsistencies of the Law and errors committed by an officer, would he be unbiased? You could say yes, due to various errors committed by officers who get bonus points for bringing in all sorts of people, based on slight of hand and scaring people, in order to allow an unlawful search, in order to get evidence of a crime.  So Mr or Ms young driver? Did you pee your pants when the officer told you to open your trunk or be arrested for disobeying an officer? Also known as 'obstruction of imaginary justice'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RCMP 20 year contract renewal in British Columbia. The governments in BC are more concerned with the price, rather than being concerned with people being murdered and assaulted by the police.&lt;br /&gt;Wait til one day when a politicians close relation dies at the hands of the police. Then maybe justice will be fixed to deal with the corruption. That's the way things get fixed. Things don't get fixed with some peasant's relation gets assaulted or murdered. But when a politician see's what life is really like, well then things happen. Unless the politician is a shill of an organization like MADD or a shill of the alcohol or pharmaceutical industry. Big money gets these politicians elected. Not the peasants who vote for 'best propaganda advertising campaign'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serial Killer Robert Pickton was caught by a police officer conducting what some called an illegal search. A search for guns(maybe under the Canadian gun registry instant search rules? Which can be called illegal(Constitutional violation of innocence of the person), due to being declared a criminal until innocence is proved during a random knock and search). In that gun search the officer was visually searching the place(what was the search for again? hmmm?), noticed some ID's on a piece of furniture, which belonged to some missing women. So you have a search for firearms, which was more like a search of the property for murder evidence, in order to convict Pickton on something the police had possibly known for 2 years. That Pickton was killing Hookers at the place.&lt;br /&gt;You know what was funny at the start of the Media circus? Reporters at the Pickton farm gates saw a purse and told the officers about it. Just interesting, that's all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Robert_Pickton"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Robert_Pickton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On February 6, 2002, police executed a search warrant for illegal firearms at the property owned by Pickton and his three siblings. He was taken into custody and police then obtained a second court order to search the farm as part of the BC Missing Women Investigation, when personal items (including a prescription asthma inhaler) belonging to one of the missing women were found. The farm was sealed off by members of the joint RCMP–Vancouver Police Department task force. The following day Pickton was charged with storing a firearm contrary to regulations, possession of a firearm while not being holder of a license and possession of a loaded restricted firearm without a license. He was later released and was kept under police surveillance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure is fun when someone can be convicted in a round about way. But he was guilty. But when evidence is gathered in an illegal manner, the evidence collected is supposed to be non-admissible in court. Or that's the way it used to be. Would of been interesting for Pickton to walk free based on the illegal search, but the government and police were now between a rock and a hard place, but no one pressed the police on legalities, hmmm...&lt;br /&gt;The Media circus gives instant good ratings to the police and governments. But then evidence comes out later on how totally screwed up the whole case was. So do the police and government care about Hookers and the Homeless? Not really, but people can only be ignored for so long before the shit hits the fan. But the Media will gladly rewrite a news article to make the government and police look good, while the bullshit is flying and hitting everything in sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***********************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it..... Who stands to gain the most from the World(United States) getting mad at Iran, for an apparent execution plan, of the Saudi Arabian Embassy head in the U.S. ?  Beware of those that manipulate people, in order to cause mass destruction of their enemy(that they already committed cyber warfare against with the StuxNet worm). A reminder that the U.S. has an agreement to protect Saudi Arabia from any attack(Gulf War 1).&lt;br /&gt;An example is where someone in war will wear the uniform of the enemy, to gain access and a very close killing range of the enemy's leader.&lt;br /&gt;But we didn't find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, as G.W. Bush manipulated the World in order to kill a former CIA agent(Saddam Husein) to make daddy Bush happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Vancouver Stanley Cup riot's..... People are wondering.... Why is that some of the people shown in the pictures the police released to various media outlets for publication, why is there a picture of the person just posing and not doing any actual damage? Isn't these pictures for identifying and then arresting someone who was doing damage? A tiny minority of people will say that just being at the riot is grounds for prosecution. But the Law would probably say differently. Otherwise all those News Crews would be in jail for participating in a riot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***********************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Occupy the World and make sure to video all those employee's of the Rich and Powerful, who try to get you to move off of public property, in order for them to face punishment for their crimes against you.  In Seattle, an umbrella that is open, but not being held in your hand, is a structure and therefor illegal. Other places, the government and police try to push people out of sight, to avoid the embarrassment of the corruption being pointed out by the Occupy people. In some instances, a tea party member(or actual police officer in plain clothes) infiltrates the group, in order to cause a commotion and therefor allow the police to start their vicious assault campaign of pepper spraying anyone within reach.&lt;br /&gt;For those that get a ticket for your crime of protesting(peaceful protest is a Right), Please make sure to dispute that ticket in court. Lets see how slow the court system gets, when thousands of tickets are disputed, for 2 or 3 hours per ticket. If you did not get a ticket and were detained or handcuffed? Make sure to get the officers card or his name and number for filing a simple lawsuit in court. Perhaps one of the Civil Liberties organizations can help you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil disobedience is fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We are the 99%.

The screenshot on the left, from  6:59 p.m., appears to reflect what many protesters are saying: The  police tricked them into marching on the bridge. At 7:19 p.m., any  mention of the police allowing demonstrators onto the bridge was removed  from the lede. Why did they make this change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*-*-*-*-*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The 'occupy wall street' protests continue to spread and are now in Canada as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'Western Spring' is here and the People are taking back their countries from the corruption of billionaires and their billion dollar corporations, that are destroying the Peoples land in the name of massive profits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The People are oh so tired of the police being nothing more that corporate puppets, who refuse to arrest Billionaires and refuse to arrest Rich terrorists(including former/current Heads of State) and instead attack and arrest, what can be called, innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are standing up for their Rights and Freedoms, yet are treated as targets for taser and pepper spray practice. People being punched repeatedly in the head, after calling the police for help. People who are not resisting arrest are kicked in the head, since some officers seem to like seeing blood emptying out of peoples faces and the massive bruising that accompanies that. People who are trying to just get out of the way of disturbances, yet are beaten and handcuffed for not disappearing in an instant. People who are traveling from point A to point B and are stopped and accused of some crime and interrogated as to their reason for traveling from point A to point B.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians who see nothing wrong with the police constantly assaulting and even killing people in the name of martial law, or whatever excuse the officer makes up, in order to make it look like it was ok to kill someone.  Officers can commit many crimes, that would of sent a civilian to prison for 5 years to life, without the officer facing true justice for his actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question anyone who thinks that they own you. Question news articles and fact check for accuracies. When you find manipulated articles? Spread the word on the fraud being committed.  In Canada, it can now be hard to find an unbiased news source, due to the government allowing 3 or 4 companies to buy up all the media outlets in Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who is Canada's official 'propaganda minister'?&lt;br /&gt;If you keep the people ignorant and confused, you can destroy them in the name of the almighty dollar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. has a major case of election fraud happening now. Seems that a tiny minority of some people hate there being a black President, who also is a Democrat, fixing the broken system that goes against the People of the land. So this minority, made up of billionaires and their slaves(tea party and bribed(lobbied) politicians), are manipulating election area boundary's, in order to make sure the vote goes to the Republicans(conservatives).  The manipulation even goes as far as 'non-election personal' actually threatening people who are lined up to vote, in order for the victim to be forced to display his papers on the eligibility to vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians outlawing 'collective bargaining'(Unions), in order to destroy Unions and cut government costs, to fix imaginary budget money shortfalls. Yes, imaginary. Some political parties manipulate the books on the budget, in order to make it appear that the government is broke. Some governments also make it look like there is lots of money, in order to wastefully spend money on a 'pet project' of the ruling party. Here's a bridge to nowhere. Here's a waste of a few Billion dollars, to please the governments corporate masters. Here's a fudged report on a pipeline, in order to make Billions of dollars more in profits.&lt;br /&gt;The Republicans(Conservatives) also want to ban any Planet saving rules made by various Environmental Protection Agencies. Some local governments want a bible in every school kids hand(violation of 'separation of church and state') and science to be eliminated, since science is icky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another way that election results are being manipulated, is by the DieBold(and other makers) electronic voting machines. The computer has been found to be easily hacked and manipulated. You don't even need to break the 'tamper resistant seals' to modify the votes. So people press 'democrat' and the machine registers 'republican'. But if you don't see that the machine has given your vote to another party(confirm button), your vote is now corrupted. Some machines do not even have a paper trail of the votes. So the vote may of said 'democrat' and confirmed as 'democrat', but the vote may of been changed to 'republican' and no paper trail to audit the election results.  People need to think about why a machine would not keep a paper trail.&lt;br /&gt;Some countries even destroy the 'paper votes' in a standard paper vote box and replace them with votes for the ruling party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada has had some election boundary issues as well, as some Political parties(usually the ruling party) try to modify boundary's, in order to make sure they get the majority vote in the next election. Maybe people have already forgotten that any Federal election in Canada, once the vote is counted in Eastern Canada, a particular party is declared the winner.  So what use is it for Western Canada to even bother voting? People will argue a larger Eastern population, and Majority wins, but what about Western Canada's voting power?  Time to separate? Time for BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Territories,  to separate? We supply a decent amount of money into Canada's economy, but we are fully self-sufficient.  Oil and Mines and whats left of Forestry, powers us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B.C. has to return that HST bribe back to Ottawa(unless 'something' overrides and ignores the peoples vote on the matter). Sure it's a bribe. "Implement the HST and here's a Billion Dollars".  But Politicians are not being jailed for the crimes like that. But you'd be jailed for it. Politicians even have 'lobbyists' telling the politicians what to do. That could be called 'manipulating the government', but the police will tell you to frack off for trying to press an officer to make an arrest of the politician.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who do the police work for anyways? Us? or Them? 'Us' being the people of the land. And 'them' being billionaires and politicians who see dollar signs of massive profits in their eyes 24/7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Rights issues.

It's getting to be bit of a pain the the ass to keep reading news articles on police officers beating people up for no justifiable reason. Even though assaults are never really justified against people who are not severely resisting a 'justifiable arrest or justifiable detainment'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Innocent people should be able to tell the officer to just f*ck off and to quit bothering them. And even going as far as to commit 'self defense' against an officer who is very much knowingly breaking the law and violating peoples Rights and Freedoms. People have fought back against criminally minded officers and had their justifiable actions of self defense held up in court. But as always, for your action of self defense, be prepared to be jailed and possibly raped by the officers associates, as payback for your innocence(and make sure to loudly claim in the media, that officer's so-and-so RAPED you). But hey, imagine all those extra officers to be taken in front of a Judge for their crimes against you. Even imagine your Country's 'gang laws' being used against all those corrupt officers, to make sure they go to prison, along with the initial officer who tried to f*ck up your life.&lt;br /&gt;If the officers and their 'government paid for Lawyers' try to delay the case against the corrupt officers, in order to make it all go away, please make sure to avoid all that with the knowledge of your abuser using every trick in the book to avoid being punished for their crime against you. Why wait two to five years for the trial(why wait more than two weeks?), at which point, the officers lawyer will push for a dismissal, due to everyone forgetting what happened to you, so please enjoy your scars and or wheelchair, compliments of the police department.  Note: Police forces budgets are paid for by taxes that are paid to the various governments by people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These police officers manage to keep their jobs and in many cases, no charges or court appearance or prison terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many times there is just a basic bull shit media report that the officer received a verbal reprimand by the commanding officer. And guess what? That's not any where near a proper punishment.  If an innocent person ends up in the hospital bleeding and needing stitches(or a coffin), the officer needs to be jailed, just like everyone else is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These criminal acting officers don't even get fired for their crimes. Their 'criminal record' gets sealed so the officer can possibly continue to beat the crap out of more people. With a national police force, the officer gets transferred to another town and no one knows the officers criminal actions that caused the instant transfer. There are crimes committed by regular people, who then have to register their names and location in a national database, to protect the local population where the criminal just moved too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officers who do comply with the Laws, that are there to protect Civilians from police brutality, may get punished for reporting(snitching) on the corrupt officers. Any officer that gets demoted or punished for reporting on the crimes of your fellow officers, please report that to the media or Civil Rights Organizations. No more of this bull shit of not reporting things, due to a 'confidentiality mandate' to prevent reporting of crimes committed by corrupt officers. Two tiered legal systems, injure and kill many people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officers kicking sedate arrested people in the head.&lt;br /&gt;Officers stomping on people who are on the ground already in a vulnerable position.&lt;br /&gt;People being tasered to extreme pain or death.&lt;br /&gt;Innocent people who didn't get out of the way in time and the officer proceeds to beat the person and send the person to the hospital for repairs, eventually.&lt;br /&gt;People looking to report a crime to the officer on the street and the person being beaten and sent to the hospital, for the persons simple action of not keeping quiet. But all you wanted to do was help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would be oh so nice for the government to steroid test some of these crazed officers. Or at the minimum, send the officer to a psychiatrist for review of current and past mental condition. It would seem strange to mandate  confidentiality of the results of the mental review, when the officer has access to various weapons and methods to assault innocent people who dared to standup for their Rights.&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget that an officer, with a possible mental unbalance, has weapons of mass death or torture at their side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine getting rid of a tool, that can cause somewhat normal officers, to get filled up with massive amounts of a 'god complex'. That tool is roadblocks. Where everyone is a criminal and therefor must be punished for their crime of nothing.  Sure would be nice to be able to travel from point 'a' to point 'b' without being subjected to a criminal investigation over your innocent ass.  30 years of brainwashing that makes people think that roadblocks are any where near being legal. Only a Judge has allowed roadblocks, but even the specifics of that decision is not being adhered too.&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution and Civil Rights are supposed to protect us from roadblocks and to protect us from being subjected to detainment by the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey guess what? In some places in North America, an officer who commits a crime is instantly arrested by the officer next to him. And then in some cases, the shit hits the fan in the department, as a major coverup is attempted by the corrupt people that are in charge, to try and make the public ignore that an officer arrested one of his co-workers for a crime that mandates instant jail and a large dollar amount of Bail for regular people without badges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many people have to die from police actions and how many people have to be beaten up by the police before government finally makes a task force to get all these crime committing cops in to prison for their crimes. And we are talking about 'medium security prisons' and not some country club prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-4947513987907648101?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/4947513987907648101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/4947513987907648101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/police-and-their-brutality.html' title='Police and their brutality'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-993624506918666596</id><published>2011-09-19T10:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-19T12:33:49.638-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BC roads cameras</title><content type='html'>Some updated links to the cameras that record where we drive, whoop's, I mean watches road conditions in order to better maintain our road system in inclement weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;note that link address's are subject to change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BC Highways Cameras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.drivebc.ca/bchighwaycam/pub/html/www/index.html"&gt;http://images.drivebc.ca/bchighwaycam/pub/html/www/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;City of Vancouver cameras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://app.vancouver.ca/roadahead_net/#1"&gt;http://app.vancouver.ca/roadahead_net/#1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is interesting about these government cameras that are being put online for the public to use, in order to check on road conditions?  Well interesting, is that there seems to be a certain amount of censorship happening in the images that are released to the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People may not know that, depending on the speed of the Internet uplink from each camera location, is these cameras are providing a live streaming image of traffic, to a centralized control room, in order to keep live monitoring of traffic conditions or accidents or weather conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the city of Vancouver cameras(including Lions Gate bridge cams), there are generally 4 images per camera link. And occasionally it is noticed that one of the 4 camera images will stop uploading a new image to the public server. It is also noticed on the last uploaded image of some of these stalled images times, that you may see a police car blocking the road or police officer in the image(or edge of) and  that seems to be a constant for when some images stop uploading to the public server. Now why would the operator of the cameras stop the upload to the public server? Is someone afraid that if people were to look at the public server feeds, is they could somehow avoid an area where the police are accusing innocent people of whatever the crime of the day/night is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that sometimes there are technical errors that stop the upload to the public feed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police tend to be shy of people videoing them, but the police have no problem with videoing other people. It sure would be interesting to see the database that the police have built up over the years, in their quest to video and identify innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;Hey ICBC, aren't you supposed to be given a warrant for you to accept images from people to be checked against the picture database that you are in charge of? It would seem to be odd if someone were to drop off a picture for you to check out, and then if you identify the picture, you then tell the person who dropped off the picture, who then gets a warrant for the pictures name. Kind of backwards to how warrants are supposed to work. It would be like the police smashing down a random door and if they found criminal activity, then the police would get the warrant later to make smashing down the door kind of legal(NOT).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Media.. How to ask questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Wrong &lt;/span&gt;way&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;media: &lt;/span&gt;"did the officers have a warrant?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;police: &lt;/span&gt;"yes". &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right way:&lt;br /&gt;media: &lt;/span&gt;"Did you have a warrant before knocking down the door?".&lt;br /&gt;police: "No".  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;media&lt;/span&gt;: "so should the officers be arrested for committing a home invasion?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;police: &lt;/span&gt;"oh your vehicle is illegally parked, so here is your traffic ticket and please blow into this breathalyzer. Failure to blow into the Breathalyzer will result in your immediate arrest".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;media&lt;/span&gt;: "Hey viewers, look at this video of how an officer abused his power and threatened the media to cover up his crimes".&lt;br /&gt;----- Actually the line about the reporter showing the crime against him, will not be shown, as the reporters bosses will make sure that the police are protected from people seeing or hearing about the assault against the reporter.  Just another censored day in a reporters life in North America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a couple of BC highways cameras that have a higher percentage of the images, that have a vehicle in the picture, that the vehicle is within a certain area of the road during the image. The Interior of BC cameras tend to update only every 30 minutes, so is it a coincidence that vehicles keep being in the same spot on the road(particularly Field BC, north east cam) more often than not?&lt;br /&gt;Or is there an 'automated license plate recognition program', also in use at some of these camera locations? People may freak out if they were to find that the government or police, is collecting a database of vehicles and their owners and the locations seen at.&lt;br /&gt;A major privacy risk is the automated Toll roads/bridges. As they take pictures of license plates and put those in a data base to send out the toll ticket. How is the privacy on that system? Who has accessed it? Who makes sure the data is deleted after the ticket is paid?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The George Massey tunnel &lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/George_Massey_Tunnel"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/George_Massey_Tunnel &lt;/a&gt;cameras sometimes will been seen zooming in on 'parked speed traps' that are on the south end, at the entrance to the counter flow lanes. But we all know that it is highly dangerous for the police to run out into highway traffic, to try and stop speeding vehicles with his hand. It would be nice to have a permanent rule, that any speed zone that is above 60 kph(40 mph), must be done with a moving police car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;England has approximately 1 closed circuit camera(CCTV) per 15 people. The cameras could follow you for practically hundreds of miles. They also have license plate recognition on some cameras, in order to identify certain people who are being watched and the police will automatically be dispatched to stop the vehicle and it's occupants, in order to harass them. Innocent protestors get quite annoyed at the constant stops, due to being put on 'watch lists' by the police or government. Some of England's cameras also have microphones to listen in on people. A more recent update is speakers to be able to talk to people for whatever reason("stay there Citizen and the approaching police will take you to the re-education center").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Washington State Highways camera's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Traffic/Cameras/default.aspx"&gt;http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Traffic/Cameras/default.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.komonews.com/traffic/cameras/"&gt;http://www.komonews.com/traffic/cameras/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********************&lt;br /&gt;***************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some news from the American Civil Liberties Association. And yes it applies to Canada as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aclu.org/national-security/report-call-courage-reclaiming-our-liberties-ten-years-after-911"&gt;http://www.aclu.org/national-security/report-call-courage-reclaiming-our-liberties-ten-years-after-911&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;September 7 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The report, entitled, "A Call to Courage: Reclaiming Our Liberties Ten Years after 9/11," explores how sacrificing America's values – including justice, individual liberty, and the rule of law – ultimately undermines safety.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Everywhere And Forever War&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The report begins with an examination of the contention that the U.S. is engaged in a "war on terror" that takes place everywhere and will last forever, and that therefore counter terrorism measures cannot be balanced against any other considerations such as maintaining civil liberties. The report states that the United States has become an international legal outlier in invoking the right to use lethal force and indefinite military detention outside battle zones, and that these policies have hampered the international fight against terrorism by straining relations with allies and handing a propaganda tool to enemies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;An ACLU report release to coincide with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 warns that a decade after the attacks, the United States is at risk of enshrining a permanent state of emergency in which core values must be subordinated to ever-expanding claims of national security. (More on Civil Liberties After 9/11 ») &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A Cancer On Our Legal System&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Taking on the legacy of the Bush administration's torture policy, the report warns that the lack of accountability leaves the door open to future abuses. "Our nation's official record of this era will show numerous honors to those who authorized torture – including a Presidential Medal of Freedom – and no recognition for those, like the Abu Ghraib whistleblower, who rejected and exposed it," it notes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fracturing Our “More Perfect Union”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The report details how profiling based on race and religion has become commonplace nationwide, with the results of such approaches showing just how wrong and ineffective those practices are. "Targeting the American Muslim community for counter terrorism investigation is counterproductive because it diverts attention and resources that ought to be spent on individuals and violent groups that actually pose a threat," the report says. "By allowing – and in some cases actively encouraging – the fear of terrorism to divide Americans by religion, race, and belief, our political leaders are fracturing this nation’s greatest strength: its ability to integrate diverse strands into a unified whole on the basis of shared, pluralistic, democratic values."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A Massive and Unchecked Surveillance Society&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Concluding with the massive expansion of surveillance since 9/11, the report delves into the many ways the government now spies on Americans without any suspicion of wrongdoing, from warrantless wiretapping to cell phone location tracking – but with little to show for it. "The reality is that as governmental surveillance has become easier and less constrained, security agencies are flooded with junk data, generating thousands of false leads that distract from real threats," the report says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“A Call to Courage” points out that many controversial policies have been shrouded in secrecy under the rubric of national security, preventing oversight and examination by the public. "We look to our leaders and our institutions, our courts and our Congress, to guide us towards a better way, and it is now up to the American people to demand that our leaders respond to national security challenges with our values, our unity – and yes, our courage – intact."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A write up on the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/aclu-massive-surveillance-society-reclaim-pri"&gt;https://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/aclu-massive-surveillance-society-reclaim-pri&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Total Information Awareness was a project that highlighted the ways data mining technology brought "us closer to the nightmare of routine mass government surveillance of our daily activities." Yet when the public demanded privacy protections from the program, Congress shut it down. The ACLU suggests that the data mining may have been moved under the secret umbrella of the NSA so that no one would know what all was being monitored and stored about Americans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Furthermore, the ACLU report states that other programs picked up government data mining "to spy on Americans in virtually complete secrecy."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;--------- So-called "Suspicious Activity Reporting" programs, for example, maintain that innocuous and commonplace behavior like photography and note taking about public buildings could be preparation to conduct terrorist attacks, and that the government should collect and retain information about Americans who engage in these activities. The range and number of these programs is breathtaking and their names Orwellian. Programs such as eGuardian, "Eagle Eyes," "Patriot Reports," and "See Something, Say Something" are now run by agencies including the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security. State and local law enforcement agencies often have their own, similar programs. And once the government collects data about "suspicious" activity, it can retain it for a lifetime, even when the information shows the person is not a threat.--------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support the BC Civil liberties Association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/"&gt;http://bccla.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring time in the Western World pisses off Governments and corrupt law enforcement agencies.&lt;br /&gt;Wow all the files on people who have done no crime and will never do any crime.&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget about all those little notations in your personal files that someone added, in order for the next officer or next customer support representative to be able to 'deal' with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Profiling still exists Citizen, even though profiling is a crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Bloggers(and even Reporters) in the World, are being tortured and executed.

Future studies should seek to determine what accounts for the increase among 18-year-old drivers and whether refinements in GDL programs can reduce this association. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has to do with statistics on the 'graduated drivers license programs' that have various restrictions on new drivers, in order to cut back on accidents.&lt;br /&gt;Except that it appears that even though there are less accidents at 16, the rise of accidents at 18, nearly match the reduction of accidents at 16.&lt;br /&gt;These programs are generally hailed as being a success, Except that it's only a success when you look at one set of statistics and not the full set of statistics.&lt;br /&gt;People will manipulate statistics, in order to display a reasoning to the public, for an action to take place.

Just say no to that Illegal vehicle search(open your trunk or feel my anger, says the officer).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do people need to display a 'new driver' or a 'learner driver' placard, when the new or learner driver is not driving?   Seems to be not fair for a driver to be pulled over, for not displaying the placard. And it is quite annoying to be behind a car with only one occupant, who is displaying a 'learner placard', when there is no leaner driver in the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;The placards are meant to warn other drivers of the drivers vehicle skills. Displaying the sign, without proper justification, would be like displaying a 'wide load vehicle' sign, when the vehicle is not a wide load. Or a sign on the road saying 'bump ahead', when there is no bump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people are trying to implement corporal punishment back into schools. &lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Corporal_punishment"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Corporal_punishment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For these people think that teachers beating the children, for not being a drone, is a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember your Rights and Freedoms and 'the Right to not be beaten', in order to force you to behave in a certain way.&lt;br /&gt;For those in private schools..... Did you or your parents actually read the contract that you signed to be admitted into the school? Does it state that the student can be punished in various ways for being a normal Human being?  Don't you think that being beaten is a violation of your Rights and therefor that portion of the contract is illegal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you, the student, think that exercising your Right of 'Self-Defense' against an attack on your person(or others) is 100% justifiable? People have defended themselves against abuse for many many years. Exercise your Right to self-defense.

Politicians actually making requirements for speed traps and road blocks and speed/red light cameras to be visible by at least 300 feet away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some places believe in traffic enforcement being 100% visible. No more hiding speed trap personal behind a bush, box, vehicle, over-pass, or power pole. Even making sure that roadblocks have warning signage and emergency lights on, to make sure of real safety for all involved. Nothing is worse than rounding a corner to have to suddenly stop, in order to avoid rear ending a line of cars. Or in the worst case scenario, trying to avoid running over a police officer who thinks that stealth will make more tickets to be written.  Some officers do get ticked off when a slight distraction on their part, results in frazzled nerves and a near miss by the oncoming driver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another traffic issue, is for those officers that park their cruiser on the side of the road, at night, with no lights on.  A driver, paying attention, may see odd little lights off in the distance and slow down wondering if it is an animal on the side of the road and then curse about safety needing to be applied to all equally, when they see the police car doing radar in stealth mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when photo radar, based out of a parked van, was around, The Officer parked on the shoulders of the highway with no signage or lighting to identify the parked vehicle to highway traffic(and occasionally at night too).  There was even the occasion where an in-town officer must of gotten to hear some nice screeching tires behind him and a couple of weeks later, he did have his warning flashers on, for that parking lane that turns into a rush hour lane.  Officers need to obey traffic laws that state the shoulders of the highway are only for emergency stopping.&lt;br /&gt;What about them sidewalks too? Aren't they for pedestrians and not for parking police cars on? Look there's an officer in the middle of the road and no police car, but then you see his car on private property and wonder if he has permission to park there.&lt;br /&gt;Which is a reminder that the RCMP now have orders to ask for permission of the owner before trespassing on the owners property to 'train' police dogs. PDF &lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11RCMP_dog_training_release.pdf"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11RCMP_dog_training_release.pdf&lt;/a&gt;  The police would get annoyed if you hopped to the other side of the detachments front counter without permission, so you should be annoyed when they pop in to your yard to 'train' for something or another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These visible means of traffic enforcement is meant to show transparency of Law enforcement. What use is giving an automated ticket, if the person could continue to break traffic laws, before getting their first ticket, with more to come in the mail. Well other than profit and what can be called 'delay of due process', due to the delay of enforcement on each traffic violation(the traffic ticket is in the mail, after it's been processed and after it is supposedly checked for errors).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Washington State, the police would cause an action to happen, to then be able to ticket drivers. The action was to have an officer in plain clothes continue to use a crosswalk in order to make drivers stop for him. If the driver did not stop, then a motorcycle police officer(about 1 dozen waiting on the side road) would be sent to then stop and ticket the driver. Some call that entrapment, since without the officer purposely using the crosswalk for no productive reason, cars would of not been ticketed for missing to stop for the plain clothes officer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observe traffic. It is becoming quite, shall we call it, painful to see vehicles that have troubles staying in between their painted lane lines, without using most of the shoulder(or the oncoming lane of traffic ) to round a easy curve.  But of course some people will deny their little trip across the line based on the line being missing in that particular spot, since road maintenance never got around to repainting the line for many months. But then again, how did that line on the curve disappear? Oh right, by drivers driving on the line, causing it to be erased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some drivers are doing something called 'impeding traffic flow'(a ticketable offense). It is where a driver will purposely drive slower than the speed limit in order to force other drivers to go slow too. In some cases, the driver impeding traffic will speed up when they come to passing lanes/lines(rural areas), in order to keep a bunch of now pissed off drivers, behind him/her. Nothing is more scary than seeing 30 vehicles get bunched up trying to pass a driver that may be driving at 5mph(10kph) or even 10mph(20kph) below the speed limit.  Some of these people impeding traffic will get out on the highway and keep pace next to a car in the slow lane, in order to prevent people from driving slightly faster than the speed limit, which of course causes a rolling blockage in highway traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was an interesting judgement many years ago, about the area where the posted speed limit changes(200 or 300 feet on either side of the sign), to be unenforceable(within reason) for the speed limit, due to it being the zone of acceleration and deceleration of vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vancouver has even made some new lowered speed zones, due to issues of cars and the homeless having conflicts.  The police know it's useless to write a ticket to a homeless person or someone who is on a very nasty high, so politicians just lower the speed limit in order to have the accident be at a slower speed.  Not really a solution to the problem, but it's close enough to some.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are those 'this is your speed' radar trailers/signs, that get put  on the side of the road. Sometimes an officer is hiding behind them or  just down the road from it. So don't use that non-ticketing speed sign  as a challenge to see how high you can make the number display.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those reflective vests that police should be wearing at all times(or wear the yellow storm uniform)? They are used for making sure that some of our less skilled drivers and some of our short sighted drivers can see what just or is about to jump out in front of them. As hitting an officer would get the driver arrested/detained for mangling a person, for what should of been an avoidable accident, by a simple application of visibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-7539684893917653099?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7539684893917653099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7539684893917653099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/making-speed-traps-visible.html' title='Making speed traps visible'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-303982036788225035</id><published>2011-09-13T18:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-26T23:13:20.055-07:00</updated><title type='text'>please arrest g w bush in surrey bc oct 2011</title><content type='html'>Well you did cheer when other Dictators and Tyrants were brought to justice for their crimes against Humanity. But there seems to be a double standard, by protecting one of the biggest war mongers of this century. Over 120,000 people were killed in Iraq. Tens of thousands killed in Afghanistan. Many other countries people killed in other U.S.A. missions.  Some countries that are treated as gutter scum(sanctions), due to not bowing down to the terrorist powers of a Republican President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The innocent people of Canada, U.S.A. and Great &lt;span class="st"&gt;Britain&lt;/span&gt; still under Martial law, due to G.

Bush is reportedly scheduled to speak on October 20th at a gathering in Surrey, British Columbia hosted by Surrey Mayor Diane Watts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But Lawyers Against the War (LAW) says the Canadian government must either bar Bush at the border because of his alleged involvement in torture and other war crimes and crimes against humanity, or order his arrest when he enters Canada both to ensure he is prosecuted here or elsewhere, and to prevent him from returning to safe haven from prosecution in the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In an August 25 letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Canadian Ministers of justice, immigration, public safety and foreign affairs, the group says “there is overwhelming evidence that George W. Bush …aided and abetted and counseled the torture of non-Americans at U.S. controlled prisons outside the U.S.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PDF of the letter sent to Canada's government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lawyersagainstthewar.org/letters/LAW_letter_re_George_Bush__20110825.pdf"&gt;http://www.lawyersagainstthewar.org/letters/LAW_letter_re_George_Bush__20110825.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawyers against the war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lawyersagainstthewar.org/"&gt;http://www.lawyersagainstthewar.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many more links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://encrypted.google.com/webhp#sclient=psy-ab&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;site=webhp&amp;amp;source=hp&amp;amp;q=george+w+bush+surrey+bc&amp;amp;pbx=1&amp;amp;oq=george+w+bush+surrey+bc&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=1&amp;amp;gs_sm=e&amp;amp;gs_upl=1796l1796l2l2160l1l1l0l0l0l0l214l214l2-1l1l0&amp;amp;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&amp;amp;fp=1cd3f9be41483c89&amp;amp;biw=1350&amp;amp;bih=861"&gt;https://encrypted.google.com/webhp#sclient=psy-ab&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;site=webhp&amp;amp;source=hp&amp;amp;q=george+w+bush+surrey+bc&amp;amp;pbx=1&amp;amp;oq=george+w+bush+surrey+bc&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=1&amp;amp;gs_sm=e&amp;amp;gs_upl=1796l1796l2l2160l1l1l0l0l0l0l214l214l2-1l1l0&amp;amp;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&amp;amp;fp=1cd3f9be41483c89&amp;amp;biw=1350&amp;amp;bih=861&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But like last time(Nov 30 2004), the police will probably be ordered to protect this global criminal and give him safe passage in and through and out of Canada.  Which should also make Harper a subject for arrest, based on his protecting/harboring a known global criminal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officers protecting G. W. Bush, will say they are following orders, which are given in contravention of Canadian laws and various global treaties that we abide by.  Officers duties are to uphold the Law and not to give safe harbor to terrorists. But then again, the police do constantly say that they are never ever ordered around by the governments of Canada, which is laughable, based on so many instances of Canadian people being assaulted by the police, in order for the police to protect other global criminals traveling in Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just say NO to allowing Terrorists into Canada. Or maybe let G. W. Bush in and then jail him for life, which is a lighter punishment than other war mongers have received over the decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edit September 26 2011: Canadian Police protect Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and do not arrest him for his crimes of ordering Torture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/09/26/bc-dick-cheney-vancouver-protest.html?"&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/09/26/bc-dick-cheney-vancouver-protest.html?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The protest organizers with Stopwar.ca were demanding Canada arrest  Cheney for war crimes because of his controversial support for the use  of waterboarding, sleep deprivation and other methods to interrogate  prisoners in the U.S.'s war against terrorism.&lt;/span&gt;.......&lt;br /&gt;.......&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Vancouver-Kingsway New Democrat M-P Don Davies said Cheney must be banned from Canada for authorizing actions banned under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;New York-based Human Rights Watch said Saturday that Canadian law provides for prosecution of an individual for torture and other crimes, even for offenses committed outside of Canada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-303982036788225035?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/303982036788225035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/303982036788225035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/please-arrest-g-w-bush-in-surrey-bc-oct.html' title='please arrest g w bush in surrey bc oct 2011'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-9176755037202500560</id><published>2011-09-10T21:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T15:45:16.601-07:00</updated><title type='text'>age discrimination is a crime</title><content type='html'>Yet another reminder to police and politicians, that discrimination based on age is a crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Young_people_not_criminals.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Young_people_not_criminals.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;British  Columbia’s human rights code prohibits discrimination based on  age.  That  applies to providing any service, including policing  services and access to  public celebrations. The Charter of Rights and  Freedoms protects against  discrimination based on age.  The Charter  also protects mobility rights to  move about freely and rights of  peaceful assembly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice the last line? So why did you allow an officer or 'rent a cop' to search you on the street? A crime was committed against you and you need to report it and press for charges. Do it within one week and not a one year delay, which you will forget about and the criminal actions will continue against your fellow peoples.&lt;br /&gt;And don't forget that the officer will try to uphold his criminal action, using the term 'safety'. Which is the common answer to all crimes against the Sheeple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The age discrimination also applies to all those towns who think that 'curfews' are a sane or legal practice, in order to deal with policing that is not of any use, when officers don't 'walk the beat' and spend their time driving, looking for speeders, instead of dealing with issues that require more than just a quick ticket. The government would prefer that the police avoid clogging up our failing court systems with cases that require more than 5 minutes of court time.&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget Mr. or Ms. Mayor, you can look at your towns police duty logs, to ensure that the problems that you may be having in your town, are not caused by the fact that no police are on duty in your town at certain times or holidays. Or the standard 'paperwork' time, at the end of shift, that can leave a large hole in the duty shift, due to no overlap in start times.&lt;br /&gt;Oh but of course officers have their orders to cut costs.&lt;br /&gt;Or saving fuel and tire wear by parking in the middle of the road, without any emergency lights on(safety hazard), and treating all drivers as drunks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure there are officers who want to be respectful of their communities that they serve in, but when orders come down from above to do a certain thing and avoid other things, well the system collapses and innocent people get treated like criminals in the name of Tyranny and corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a town in the U.S. that removed their speed cameras. Sure 3 times as many people now drive over the speed limit, but accident statistics did not change. And the cameras are usually deployed stating that the cameras will cut down on accidents. Hmmmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red light cameras tend to cause more rear end accidents at intersections as well. Some red light cameras, when deployed, also show a change in the 'yellow light' timing, which results in a shortened yellow light safety zone for light changes, which results in more red light tickets.  Corruption and profit go hand in hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up Sheeple and fix the system. Without you upholding your Rights and Freedoms, we are all doomed to be criminal suspects forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Students Rights. Don't be abused in the school system, due to not knowing your Rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/rightstalk/index.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/rightstalk/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an added note: For those business's and malls that have put up those 'high pitched noise devices', that generally only people who are under 20 years of age can hear, in order to deter Human Youths from the area...  What would you think about being tortured by a device like it yourselves? Those devices could be considered a torture device under various Worldwide treaties against subjecting people to assault and torture.&lt;br /&gt;Some people over 20 years of age can hear them and it is very painful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Burnaby+woman+upset+over+noise+deter+youth+near+Metrotown/5346731/story.html"&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Burnaby+woman+upset+over+noise+deter+youth+near+Metrotown/5346731/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On Aug. 15 2011, at approximately 6 p.m., Franz(24 years old) was meeting her mother at the SkyTrain station and walked south, past the CIBC entrance/exit, when she was overcome by a strange noise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"As soon as I walked out of the doors from Metrotown, I was overcome with this horrendous pain in my ears, my brain felt as if it was being scrambled, I couldn't move, and I can honestly say I felt incapacitated," said Franz. "As I was outside, unable to move and in pain that I can not even describe, a man came up to me and asked me if I was OK, I shook my head, no, and he helped me back in the mall. He explained to me that he thinks there may be a "high frequency" noise being used outside to deter the birds, as during that time they had a flower display outside atop by the entrance."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.efc.ca/pages/free-speech/blue-ribbon.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.efc.ca/images/efcfreet.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-9176755037202500560?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/9176755037202500560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/9176755037202500560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/age-discrimination-is-crime.html' title='age discrimination is a crime'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-3063038295458186207</id><published>2011-09-09T12:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-09T22:07:10.410-07:00</updated><title type='text'>extortion comes to canada</title><content type='html'>Maybe you have read about all the lawsuits(against IP address's) filed by various 'copyright mafiaa' organizations in the U.S. and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;They are also called: The owner of the copyright of a particular movie or music will track down file-sharers in order to extort money out of the users, in order to profit better than the actual sales of the production, that was generated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that is the general opinion on that subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the copyright mafiaa has some politicians in their greedy hands, who will re-write laws(illegally) to float a failed business model. For a failed business model by the copyright mafiaa is only sustainable, when you have people in high places, who will do things for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Extortion"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Extortion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence is sufficient to commit the offense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What these copyright holders do is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1: Fire up a Bit-Torrent(P2P file sharing), and then look for copies(partial or full) that other users in the World of the Internet(per country usually) are uploading for other unknown users to copy. They then write down the IP address of where the part or full copy is coming from and send a notice to the ISP(Internet service provider) that is intended to be forwarded on to the subscriber that potentially had that particular IP address at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1a: A variation is to file a John Doe lawsuit that includes that IP address and works downloaded/uploaded(partial or full), while sending a notification letter to the ISP to be forwarded to the subscriber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2: Set up a honey pot(a file is put on a P2P bit Torrent or on an actual website, to encourage users to download that file, in order for the copyright holder to copy the IP address of the user), in order to file a John Doe lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;An issue with this method is, If the copyright holder puts it online, then they must want people to download it for free.  But logic is hated by some people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2a: A variation on the honey pot, is to label a file as "scenic views from above", but the file is actually some copyrighted works, that is then used to get IP address's, to then send a notice to pay up or be sued. So the user never committed the offense, but is still being hit up for some cash.  But the user is not supposed to know that. Otherwise these honey pots would be called entrapment, in order to make free money and subject the honey pot operators to possible jail time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What these lawsuits are about, is not about Justice. It is about gathering of a rather meager amount of data(IP address and name of copyrighted works) that technically may not stand up in court(unless a Judge has orders to allow the travesty of justice to take place). There have been many people who have installed a P2P client, in order to file share 'open source' works. But unfortunately the particular P2P program had a 'default' setting of sharing in the on position, resulting in the users own purchased files being accidentally uploaded to the world. The shared folder on your computer is the usual upload zone from your computer. So beware if you have your Tax forms in there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5999/125/"&gt;http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5999/125/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;File sharing lawsuits involving the movie the Hurt Locker have been big news in the United States for months as tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed. It now appears that the lawsuits are coming to Canada as the Federal Court of Canada has paved the way for the identification of subscribers at Bell Canada, Cogeco, and Videotron who are alleged to have copied the movie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://torrentfreak.com/hurt-locker-lawsuits-hit-canada-isps-ordered-to-reveal-bittorrent-users-110909/"&gt;https://torrentfreak.com/hurt-locker-lawsuits-hit-canada-isps-ordered-to-reveal-bittorrent-users-110909/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In March 2010, the law firm Dunlap, Grubb and Weaver imported the mass litigation “pay up or else” anti-piracy scheme to the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/09/a-massive-collection-scheme-judge-slams-file-sharing-lawsuits.ars"&gt;http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/09/a-massive-collection-scheme-judge-slams-file-sharing-lawsuits.ars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Last year, On the Cheap LLC sued 5,011 alleged pirates of its porn film Danielle Staub Raw. Zimmerman this week threw out 5,010 of the anonymous defendants. "No courtroom in the building can hold over 200 people, let alone 5,000," he wrote in his order. Even if it could, everyone would have different lawyers, different issues of fact, different defenses—in short, it would be a total nightmare for the efficient dispensation of justice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Of course, this assumes the plaintiffs in the case want to go to trial against anyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/09/judge-shuts-down-another-mass-copyright-case"&gt;https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/09/judge-shuts-down-another-mass-copyright-case&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Judge Shuts Down Another Mass Copyright Case, Characterizes Lawsuits as “Massive Collection Scheme”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now a major problem with these lawsuits and the 'request' for the IP users information, is that an IP address does not identify a particular user. It only identifies the IP used to share the files. That IP address could of been used by your kids or even some random person who is using your WiFi enabled router(whether by non-password protected or hacked). Or even in some cases where the clocks being used to time the IP address, is off by minutes. Other cases of mis-identification have been due to an IP address being written down wrong(off by one or two digits).&lt;br /&gt;If you remember dialup and connecting to the ISP and seeing all sorts of incoming connections from other users, still trying to file-share from the former user of that IP address. You may end up being identified as that user who had the IP address before you.&lt;br /&gt;The worst cases of mis-identification is where the computer is infected and is routinely transferring data for some never to be identified entity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why does your ISP give out your personal details to someone who either presents no warrant or presents a court ordered warrant that is flawed? Does your ISP not care about privacy laws? Does your ISP not look at the warrant and then take it straight back to the issuing Judge to contest the validity of the warrant?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet knowledgeable Judges do not give out warrants based on flawed information gathering. Judges are also putting a stop to these lawsuits based on knowing that the lawsuits are a 'false front', for what is really a case of extortion. As these copyright holders(and their lawyers) do not want to go to court, as they would have to provide full evidence on them actually having the guilty user.&lt;br /&gt;And when all the details on the user is just an IP address and a partial file, well that is not quite enough to get a conviction. And if a Judge were to allow information gathering from the computer at the IP address, in order to see if that file exists on that computer, well the police would not enjoy that. For you see, why would anyone allow a private company to enter your home to take your computer away(to their private facility), to then delve deep in to your hard-drives to find the file that is in question(and a major privacy risk from all your private data being copied to a private companies storage bank. Kind of like the border and them copying all your electronic data, to clear you from being called a terrorist). For you see, is that the police should be the only ones entering your home(with legally tendered warrants) and then taking the computer to a police facility, to then look for the file themselves, without the possibility of a private company planting evidence on your computer in order to get an instant conviction. Or a private company taking your personal details for profit, Mr. Corporate Executives computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the copyright mafiaa does not want to call the police, for that would entail legal stuff, like evidence that is actually admissible in court or evidence to get a fully valid warrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Constitution and justifiable laws, are meant to protect us from being targets of attack, from persons who seek to profit over our poor souls. And proper evidence is needed, along with the full court system, in order to track down and identify people, in order for justice to be served in true cases of copyright infringement. But to track down and identify people, in order to profit by sending out 'settlement notice' is a true case of a failure in our justice system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People will converse on why the user should pay $1500.00 for one song shared($1 on I-tunes). Oh but the notice says that would be the courts judgement. But you can settle for $500.00 right now, in order to avoid the courts. Sure sounds fishy. Especially for those Grandmothers and Blind people who got rather ticked off(and vented to the public) for being accused of a crime that they never committed. The copyright holder may say that 1,000 people downloaded that song from  the user, but wheres the evidence.  Or did the copyright holder download that many times, to up the settlement offer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A final notation: If you get one of these notices to pay up? Make sure it is legal and for your jurisdiction.&lt;br /&gt;In the case of a class action. How can you be expected to travel to another Province/State(federal court) to defend yourself against a flimsy accusation, for an action perpetrated in a particular Province/State?&lt;br /&gt;Why are you being lumped in with 1,000 other users, in a class-action, as though you are part of a gang, who file shares?&lt;br /&gt;The lawsuit for just you, as an individual, is filed in another Province/State, but was it supposed to be filed in your particular area and not another Province/State, resulting in different laws being applied?&lt;br /&gt;Does the copyright holder have evidence that can easily be thrown out of court?&lt;br /&gt;Did the copyright holder make extortion like demands in the notice sent to you?&lt;br /&gt;Do the lawyers in this grand scheme of sending out settlement notice, make a speculative commission on the monetary results, which may result in them being temporarily barred from practicing law?&lt;br /&gt;Did the notice you received for court, notify you that a default judgement will be made for the plaintiff if you do not show up for court?  Imagine not getting the notice by regular mail(why no registered mail?) and being convicted without even knowing about the court action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-3063038295458186207?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/3063038295458186207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/3063038295458186207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/extortion-comes-to-canada.html' title='extortion comes to canada'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-216948003731366544</id><published>2011-09-09T09:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-09T11:02:11.518-07:00</updated><title type='text'>what is this septemember panic about</title><content type='html'>So really, why is September 11 2001 such a big deal?  Sure some, oh shall we call it, 'terrorists' crashed a couple of planes into some buildings in the U.S., but have you ever done any research on how many Middle Eastern countries peoples have been killed in the name of the almighty dollar. Or in the name of the almighty oil. Or in the name of 'scratch our back and we'll scratch yours'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millions of people on the other side of the world have been killed in many, many U.S. wars of imaginary righteousness, since the 1950's and on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was about communism. (North/South Korea).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was about communism. (Vietnam).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was about hostages. (Iran).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was about protecting a U.S. oil supplying country. (Saudi Arabia/Iraq).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was about removing a countries leader, who was a former CIA agent, to please Daddy Bush. (Iraq).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was about stopping a so-called terrorist network who was nice when they were supplied with U.S. weapons to remove the Russians, but then the U.S. abandoned them in their time of victory. (Afghanistan).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now what's next? A Republican President would like to invade Iran next. To do Israels bidding. Can't have any other country setting up nuclear reactors to power their Nation. Iran was already attacked by the StuxNet Worm. &lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Stuxnet"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Stuxnet&lt;/a&gt;  And the U.S. calls Cyber Attacks an act of war.  By the way, have you ever seen what the bullied kid does, as they scheme to subject some payback against the bully? Now imagine that on a global scale. The U.S. is the bully and the rest of the World is the victim. Even Canada is a victim of the U.S. bully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course the many instances of fighting in Central America, to further U.S. goals. And we don't mean soccer goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And never forget the 40 years of the War on Drugs. Mexico shall never forget, as the War on Drugs has helped various Drug Cartels to flourish south of the U.S. border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little bit more recent was Libya. Luckily the World had a Democrat as U.S. President, otherwise the Republicans would of been in there with ground troops to slaughter many, many people in the name of War. Or as the Republicans said, "Lets go in there and take anything we want. F*ck the people that live there".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former President, G.W. Bush, wanted worldwide for 'Crimes against Humanity".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TV show 'Family Guy' did a 9/11 episode(An analogy skit, where 9/11 is used as the justification to do anything to anyone, anywhere), which of course pissed off the RightWing Republicans, in what was just clearing up what 9/11 was about. 9/11 was not about Iraq, but Still the U.S. invaded and  killed over 120,000 people and spent over a Trillion U.S. dollars over ten plus years to remove a former CIA operative that the U.S. had placed into power there. And then the U.S. moved on to Afghanistan and then Pakistan and then ?????.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote from the episode......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;episode: Baby Not On Board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:[at Ground Zero]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Chris: Why are we in New York? I thought we were going to the Grand Canyon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Lois: Well, I just thought we should stop and pay our respects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Peter: Ground Zero. So this is where the first guy got AIDS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Brian: Peter, this is the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Peter: Oh, so Saddam Hussein did this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Brian: No.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Peter: The Iraqi army?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Brian: No.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Peter: Some guys from Iraq?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Brian: No.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Peter: That one lady who visited Iraq that one time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Brian: No. Peter, Iraq had nothing to do with this. It was a bunch of Saudi Arabians, Lebanese, and Egyptians financed by a Saudi Arabian guy living in Afghanistan and sheltered by Pakistanis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;:Peter: So…you’re saying we need to invade Iran?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Canada? Quit being panicked by the 'Terrorist United States' or being panicked by G.W. Bush's pet, Stephen Harper.&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. has killed millions of people all over the World and then for some odd reason, freak out when the countrymen of those people, retaliate.&lt;br /&gt;Canada needs to be 'neutral' in this World and not just go along with whatever crazy scheme the Republicans want.&lt;br /&gt;Remember when the U.S. dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan to end World War Two? Just never forget the reasoning. Japan was going to surrender to Russia. The U.S. did not want that(winners multiple decades of occupation of conquered country) . So one of the most deadly weapons was used on Japan to allow the U.S. to spread it's cloak over this entire world.&lt;br /&gt;This World is sick and tired of the United States of America being the Worldwide Bully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So run off now. And enjoy your Canadian Martial Law or American Martial Law, that will illegally detain and illegally search and illegally harass you(just like drunk driving roadblocks do).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What use is a Canadian Constitution if your own governments and own police forces refuse to acknowledge it's existence to protect the peasants of the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quit the secrecy, OK.  And if anyone has secrets to spill, there are many entities accepting them, to further Humankind past this old-fashioned war mongering. A USB memory stick can hold oh so much data, to help the peasants break free from tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-216948003731366544?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/216948003731366544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/216948003731366544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-is-this-septemember-panic-about.html' title='what is this septemember panic about'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-5568588610880778428</id><published>2011-09-03T14:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-03T16:37:24.051-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the prison known as canada</title><content type='html'>Wow. All these secret deals being made with the United States and the CopyRight Mafiaa. Turning Canada into nothing more than the 51st State of the United States Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Constitutional Rights are supposed to protect us, the people, from being treated a criminals, but we are so totally screwed by ignorant governments who do not care for 'free thinkers' and people who are so damn pissed off about how innocent people are being treated as prisoners in a medium security prison(maximum security prison if you use an airport).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh looky. The United States will call us(yet again) a safe harbor for terrorists, in order for the U.S.'s servants(Canadian government and police) to do the U.S.'s bidding over and over again and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5986/135/"&gt;http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5986/135/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;New Wikileaks Docs Show Ex-Minister Bernier Offered To Leak Copyright Bill to U.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Saturday September 03, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Copyright, U.S. lobbying, and the stunning backroom Canadian response gets front page news treatment today as the Toronto Star runs my story on new revelations on copyright from the U.S. cables released by Wikileaks. The cables reveal that former Industry Minister Maxime Bernier raised the possibility of leaking the copyright bill to U.S. officials before it was to be tabled it in the House of Commons, former Industry Minister Tony Clement’s director of policy Zoe Addington encouraged the U.S. to pressure Canada by elevating it on a piracy watch list, Privy Council Office official Ailish Johnson disclosed the content of ministerial mandate letters, and former RCMP national coordinator for intellectual property crime Andris Zarins advised the U.S. that the government was working on a separate intellectual property enforcement bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The disclosures are particularly relevant since Parliament is set to resume in several weeks with the reintroduction of a copyright reform bill slated to be one of the government’s top priorities. The bill is expected to mirror Bill C-32, the previous copyright package that died with the election in the spring. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WiKiLeaks. One of the most hated publications according to Fascist governments and other Tyrants and dictators who ignore the peoples wishes in order to profit over 100% surveillance of innocent people in the name of the 'all mighty dollar'..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wikileaks.ch/"&gt;http://wikileaks.ch/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad the freedom of information act's released documents, is getting to have way too many blanked out portions to protect the Corporations that rule the peasants of the land. Or in some cases, the government is refusing to release details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet again, we are all criminals, according to the totalitarian governments who refuse to respect and enforce the Constitutions of their home countries(including Canada).&lt;br /&gt;Some highlights in regards to Canada and their omnibus bill at turning  all innocent peoples into automatic suspects in regards to non-existent  crimes. All Internet data will be logged for a rolling two years worth of storage, in order to collect information on users should the government need it for whatever reason(and apparently without any warrants needed to identify users, which removes judicial oversight over the Fascists called government and Fascists called police forces).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/08/cybercrime-treaty-pushes-surveillance-secrecy-worldwide"&gt;https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/08/cybercrime-treaty-pushes-surveillance-secrecy-worldwide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;August 25th, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dangerous Cybercrime Treaty Pushes Surveillance and Secrecy Worldwide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As part of an emerging international trend to try to ‘civilize the Internet’, one of the world’s worst Internet law treaties--the highly controversial Council of Europe (CoE) Convention on Cybercrime--is back on the agenda. Canada and Australia are using the Treaty to introduce new invasive, online surveillance laws, many of which go far beyond the Convention’s intended levels of intrusiveness. Negotiated over a decade ago, only 31 of its 47 signatories have ratified it. Many considered the Treaty to be dormant but in recent years a number of countries have been modeling national laws based on the flawed Treaty. Moreover, Azerbaijan, Montenegro, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom are amongst those who have ratified within the last year. However, among non-European countries, only the U.S. has ratified the Treaty to date, making Canada and Australia’s efforts unique. The Treaty has not been harmless, and both Australia and Canada are fast-tracking legislation (Australia's lower house approved a cybercrime bill last night) that will enable them to ratify the Treaty, at great cost to the civil liberties of their citizens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Leaving out constitutional safeguards&lt;/span&gt;...............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..............&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bills proposed in Canada (read here and here) are also affected by the Convention’s flaws as they adopt the lowest possible standard of protection against many of the invasive powers they grant. The bills provide law enforcement access to sensitive data on the mere suspicion it might be useful to an investigation. Indeed, at times they leave out the safeguards altogether, as noted in a letter from Canadian privacy scholars and civil society organizations:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    [the legislation] will give state agents the power to access ...highly sensitive personal information, even where there is no reason to suspect it will assist in the investigation of any offense...What [this] facilitates, simply put, are unjustified and seemingly limitless fishing expeditions for private information of innocent and non‐suspicious Canadians.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gag orders in place of oversight: Cultivating a culture of secrecy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In the U.S. and in Canada, for example, there have been cases where preservation powers have been misused to proactively compel service providers to retain data such as email or text messages that are not yet in their possession or control. Proactive preservation force service providers to record data they would never have otherwise retained, effectively bypassing legal protections in place for real-time electronic interceptions&lt;/span&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*******&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple employee, loses another Prototype cell phone(iphone5) and then sends their private police force of San-Francisco to attempt to retrieve it in what could be called  ILLEGAL. Well Apple did not file any stolen phone complaint/charges and the people at the suspects home(identified by GPS of the missing phone?) were 4 police officers(without warrants) and two "Apple thugs", &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;err&lt;/span&gt;," Apple private security members". No warrants and the resident were threatened with being deported for their brown color(Mexican heritage) in order to put the fear of  "the corporation" into their souls.&lt;br /&gt;Always remember if the police(or goon squad) shows up at your residence or business or vehicle or on the street, to always demand a warrant before allowing them to search your possessions. And you can refuse to let non-police personal from entering, according to privacy laws(remember that old show "to serve and protect" from BC, which someone denied access to the cameras resulting in cancellation of the show?). But you will still be threatened for denying entry to the non-police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;excerpts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.baycitizen.org/technology/story/sf-police-helped-apple-track-down-next/"&gt;http://www.baycitizen.org/technology/story/sf-police-helped-apple-track-down-next/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/Four%20San%20Francisco%20police%20officers%20aided%20two%20private%20Apple%20investigators%20in%20tracking%20down%20a%20missing%20iPhone%20prototype%20last%20month,%20San%20Francisco%20Police%20said%20Friday.%20Sergio%20Calderon,%2022,%20told%20the%20SF%20Weekly%20that%20six%20officers%20with%20badges%20showed%20up%20at%20his%20house%20to%20search%20for%20the%20missing%20phone%20and%20even%20threatened%20his%20family%20with%20deportation,%20though%20they%20are%20all%20citizens.%20%22One%20of%20the%20officers%20is%20like,%20%27Is%20everyone%20in%20this%20house%20an%20American%20citizen?%27%20They%20said%20we%20were%20all%20going%20to%20get%20into%20trouble.%27%22%20%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9CThe%20two%20Apple%20employees%20met%20with%20the%20resident%20and%20then%20went%20into%20the%20house%20to%20look%20for%20the%20lost%20item,%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D%20Dangerfield%20said.%20%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9CThe%20Apple%20employees%20did%20not%20find%20the%20lost%20item%20and%20left%20the%20house.%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Four San Francisco police officers aided two private Apple investigators in tracking down a missing iPhone prototype last month, San Francisco Police said Friday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sergio Calderon, 22, told the SF Weekly that six officers with badges showed up at his house to search for the missing phone and even threatened his family with deportation, though they are all citizens. "One of the officers is like, 'Is everyone in this house an American citizen?' They said we were all going to get into trouble.'"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“The two Apple employees met with the resident and then went into the house to look for the lost item,” Dangerfield said. “The Apple employees did not find the lost item and left the house.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it lovely when corporations order the police around like a private police force...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal court in the U.S. says you can record the police...

And some of Israels neighbors are being treated, as if in a torturous prison. Countries like Greece sure would love that U.S. money for their own spoiled brats who refuse to cut some costs to balance out the incoming taxes in proportion to the outgoing Socialism programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://original.antiwar.com/alison-weir/2011/08/31/american-taxpayers-subsidize-israels-prosperity/"&gt;http://original.antiwar.com/alison-weir/2011/08/31/american-taxpayers-subsidize-israels-prosperity/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Israel’s Jerusalem Post newspaper recently published an article calling Israel “The New Golden Country” for young people from around the world. It reports that Israel boasts an ever-increasing GDP, a strong currency, and “a lower unemployment rate than the U.S.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The article fails to mention the well over $3 billion a year that American taxpayers have given Israel for years, nor the fact that some of this money has been used to develop industries that compete with U.S. companies, costing thousands of American jobs and adding to the American unemployment rate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The story also omits the fact that Israel has periodically stolen U.S. technology, hurting the U.S. economy still more, and fails to note that support for Israel has cost Americans in the range of $3-$6 trillion and that these costs continue to escalate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The article reports that many young Jewish American singles “are realizing that their future is in Israel. Since 2002, over 7,000 students and young professionals have made aliyah from North America and the UK … bringing with them their skills.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*******************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This world sure is a Prison Planet, where corporations are the owners and your own governments are the wardens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-5568588610880778428?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5568588610880778428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5568588610880778428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/09/prison-known-as-canada.html' title='the prison known as canada'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-3327383094907237344</id><published>2011-08-15T14:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T15:22:26.531-07:00</updated><title type='text'>cell phone and tracking</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;This has been around a while(2006).  Where the 'Feds'(FBI, police, security forces, governments) will do some magic and activate(power up) peoples cell phones in order to listen to the 'local area' conversations, or to track the user of the cell phone.&lt;br /&gt;*Software update to your cell phone.&lt;br /&gt;*Remote activation of your cell phone(was it really turned off or did it just appear to be off?).&lt;br /&gt;*GPS locations device, that is already built into your cell phone.&lt;br /&gt;*Cell tower triangulation of your cell phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the government so intent on tracking of innocent people(protestors) as well?  As one of the articles points out, is that a regular civilian would be jailed for this type of activity, yet the police and Federal agents can do it without being arrested and dragged into court for their crime. Two tiers of the justice system are getting to be such a nuisance for civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zdnet.com/news/fbi-taps-cell-phone-mic-as-eavesdropping-tool/150467"&gt;http://www.zdnet.com/news/fbi-taps-cell-phone-mic-as-eavesdropping-tool/150467&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Judge Kaplan's opinion said that the eavesdropping technique "functioned  whether the phone was powered on or off." Some handsets can't be fully  powered down without removing the battery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The U.S. Commerce Department's security office warns that "a cellular telephone can be turned into a microphone and transmitter for the purpose of listening to conversations in the vicinity of the phone." An article in the Financial Times last year said mobile providers can "remotely install a piece of software on to any handset, without the owner's knowledge, which will activate the microphone even when its owner is not making a call."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/12/can_you_hear_me.html"&gt;http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/12/can_you_hear_me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cell phone users, beware.  The FBI can listen to everything you say, even when the cell phone is turned off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A recent court ruling in a case against the Genovese crime family revealed that the FBI has the ability from a remote location to activate a cell phone and turn its microphone into a listening device that transmits to an FBI listening post, a method known as a "roving bug."  Experts say the only way to defeat it is to remove the cell phone battery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet another warning that your OnStar car system, is a cell phone and can records all sorts of data for noisy buggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/2100-1029-6140191.html"&gt;http://news.cnet.com/2100-1029-6140191.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Surreptitious activation of built-in microphones by the FBI has been done before. A 2003 lawsuit revealed that the FBI was able to surreptitiously turn on the built-in microphones in automotive systems like General Motors' OnStar to snoop on passengers' conversations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When FBI agents remotely activated the system and were listening in, passengers in the vehicle could not tell that their conversations were being monitored.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine when car makers add their WiFi computer systems to cars, so a grouping of vehicles can 'talk' to each other. Oh and of course they say it is for safety. But then clam up quickly when people ask questions on what type of security is on those systems to prevent abuse by hackers and abuse by the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit) shuts off cell phone system in stations, to prevent people protesting.   Big Brother is mad that the Sheeple are waking up and actually telling our elected leaders and police forces to either be nice or be removed from their pulpits of power.&lt;br /&gt;The protest was for the July 3 fatal shooting of a  knife-wielding passenger by BART police, the second fatal shooting by  BART authorities two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh looky. Another constitution free zone in the stations, just like the thought police in British Columbia's rapid transit stations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/08/15/MNGT1KNJU1.DTL&amp;amp;tsp=1"&gt;http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/08/15/MNGT1KNJU1.DTL&amp;amp;tsp=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;SAN FRANCISCO -- BART and its passengers are bracing for a 5 p.m. demonstration today at Civic Center Station in San Francisco by people angry that the transit agency cut underground cellular phone service for three hours Thursday evening in an effort to quell an antipolice protest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BART shut down cell service Thursday at four downtown San Francisco stations, Johnson said. The agency did not jam cell signals, which is illegal, but shut off the system - which Johnson said is allowable under an agreement with several major phone service providers that pay rent to BART.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lynette Sweet, a member of BART's Board of Directors, said today that she opposed any further disruption of cell service and would seek to bring the issue before the board for a vote.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"This is one where we can almost say we're stuck on stupid," Sweet said. "We put ourselves on the radar screen for no good reason. This is a country that champions civil liberties all the time. So why would a transit agency take it upon themselves to trample on civil liberties?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;She added, "We can't say, 'We only want you to talk when we want you to talk.' "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey look. 911 service was also cutoff when the cell phone system was shut down.  Oh but BART did shut it down for safety, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/238090/fcc_looking_into_bart_mobile_phone_shutdown.html"&gt;https://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/238090/fcc_looking_into_bart_mobile_phone_shutdown.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****************_______________*****************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Text from the final scene of the first Matrix movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;We see a screen like the one at the beginning.

And was disproved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.K. riots said, "welfare bums and unemployed youths, whose parents let them run wild". And was disproved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad the reality is, a bunch of the rioters were just normal people of society. They have jobs. They have money. They have a decent education. They could even be your good friends.&lt;br /&gt;But as a general thought, they are sick and tired of things. What things, you say? Well people will argue back and forth on what makes normal people do wild things.  Could it be the constant 'police state', that is forced on us. Could it be the governments who keep cutting social programs to make up for the squandering of money on constant wars(republicans love wars). Money is also squandered on our leaders frills and extra's that the regular people shall never see.&lt;br /&gt;So when you see those protestors at the G8 summit or the G20 summit or 'the f*ck all you peasants summit'. Remember that those protestors have courage to stand up to dictators, while you, well you do as you are told, as you are afraid of being punished for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Peaceful protest is a legal Right, so practice it as much as possible. And make sure that those who oppress your Rights, are punished to the full extent of 'The Peoples Law'(and not that law that grants immunity to the oppressors from being punished like a peasant would).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are back to the society where regular peoples are slaves and the leaders do not like the slaves uprising from slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/08/11/ukriots.accused/index.html"&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/08/11/ukriots.accused/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Those passing through London's courtrooms on Tuesday and Wednesday -- some courts sat overnight to cope with the numbers -- have included a teaching assistant, a lifeguard, a postman, a chef, a charity worker, a millionaire's daughter and an 11-year-old boy, newspapers reported.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The tabloid Sun newspaper wrote in its opinion page on Thursday of the "sick" society described by Prime Minister David Cameron: "The sickness starts on welfare-addicted estates where feckless parents let children run wild."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But its front-page headline told a different story about the accused: "Lifeguard, postman, hairdresser, teacher, millionaire's daughter, chef and schoolboy, 11."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Daily Mail reported: "While the trouble has been largely blamed on feral teenagers, many of those paraded before the courts yesterday led apparently respectable lives."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Question authority or you doom us all to slavery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;May the Spring bring you great relief from slavery.

Old West justice methods. Crash on in and ignore the rules of actions that Laws stipulate.

Drug testing is not an exact science. It relies on the victims own statements and generalized 'drug levels' in the blood. So smoking and driving is one thing and smoking and then sleeping for two days and driving is, well the same thing. But both will still show THC levels in your system without any impairment of your activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sheeple keep being abused in the name of Prohibition. Seems that since Marijuana(medical mainly) may become legal one day, that certain entities are so upset, that maybe one day, everyone will need to use a special ignition device that makes sure that you are pure as pure can be. It probably still wont stop Grandpa from driving after those 10 pills for breakfast, but hey, imaginary safety is always better when slanted in a way to remove your Rights and Freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article also backs up that 32% of impaired drivers are responsible for death accidents. So shake off that propaganda that you keep hearing about impaired drivers being the number one evil. Sober drivers are quite dangerous and have killed many people, including themselves. It's too bad that society can be so easily controlled by people who have ulterior motives over you, the slave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tandfprod.literatumonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15389581003735626"&gt;http://tandfprod.literatumonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15389581003735626&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Methods&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;: Drivers were randomly selected from the traffic stream  in three cities in British Columbia and asked to provide a breath sample  to determine alcohol content and a sample of oral fluid to be tested  for the presence of psychoactive drugs. The survey was conducted between  the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 03:00 a.m. on Wednesday through Saturday  nights in June 2008.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So were you "randomly tested"? Well then get suing.  You were abused in the name of ??????. Taking a random sampling of a persons breath or bodily fluids can be construed as a crime against you. Were there any legal grounds to take those samples, other than, "We is the law and we will do what we want or you will be arrested and charged with obstruction of an officer, even though you have committed no crime for us to be able to charge you with anything".&lt;br /&gt;Or shall you just run back into your hole in the ground and cry over your abuse at the hands of totalitarianism(do what government and police say, or else you will regret defending yourself against an illegal attack).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rise up against the Dictatorship. Don't be subjected to abuse and the making you into nothing but a slave. Because people are slaves. The government and police do not care for your 'individualism'. You will be lumped in with the rest of the slaves. Does it make you angry to be thought of as a slave? Look around. Can you do something perfectly legal without being accused of a crime? Can you actually press for charges against a police officer and have him jailed just like a civilian would be, for his crime against you, without you becoming a bigger victim?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government and police are watching you. And they don't like you trying to float to the top to see what is really making the cesspool of the legal system in Canada stink even worse.  So accept that traffic fine and don't even think of contesting it in court, where you may win. After all, you are nothing but a slave to the police and government.&lt;br /&gt;Now go and see if that government and police brainwashing of your thoughts can be removed. The removal of the brainwashing may help you to remove those heavy chains and shackles from your Soul, you slave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for your laugh and shock of the day.&lt;br /&gt;Police officer pulling the D.A.R.E.(drug education) trailer crashed at about 10:30pm in to a parked vehicle and then crashed in to a tree.  Blames it on the dog in the truck and not the alcohol consumed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wave3.com/story/15170315/cop-pulling-dare-trailer-charged-with-dui"&gt;http://www.wave3.com/story/15170315/cop-pulling-dare-trailer-charged-with-dui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"It said DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and Seymour Police Department- which made me think he was a police officer," said Mr. Robbins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Not only a police officer, but according to the Seymour Police Department website, he is the School Resource Officer, responsible for seven schools, acting as a mentor and providing students with a role model. It even states that he conducts lectures on narcotics and alcohol and their effects on driving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"He's not setting a good example for kids that see this," said Mr. Robbins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Newcomb, who refused medical treatment after the crash, is charged with operating while intoxicated and was booked in the Washington County Jail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember your Rights and Freedoms. Never forget that drug testing without evidence of drug intoxication, is a crime. Whether that be by an employer or government agent. Do not submit to drug testing, due to threats of arrest or firing or denial of government programs, from the tester.  The police may arrest you for 'obstruction of justice' for refusing a drug(or alcohol test), but was there evidence showing that there was a crime committed, that you are blocking the police from investigating?  The legal system is broken for the regular citizen. All are treated as guilty, until proved innocent, which is a crime against the Constitution. To bad the officers never get prosecuted and jailed for their crime against the people and unfortunately, innocent people are convicted as being the criminal, in order to force the population to submit to travesties of justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support the BC Civil Liberties Association. Someone has to stand up for your Rights and Freedoms. The government is not willing to stand up for your Rights and will make many illegal laws or illegal legislation, in order to make your Rights and Freedoms disappear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://bccla.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-8881509148582897707?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/8881509148582897707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/8881509148582897707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/were-you-victim-of-illegal-roadblock.html' title='were you a victim of illegal roadblock testing'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-6219791817874101726</id><published>2011-07-27T09:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-27T12:27:12.775-07:00</updated><title type='text'>government silencing scientists</title><content type='html'>What is the best way to control the public? Make sure that people are not allowed to talk freely and governments that manipulate the release of data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada continues it's war against Science. The Federal government muzzles a scientist who has released important data on why oh why west coast salmon are dying off. One possibly is a leukemia type virus is contracted as they head up rivers to spawn. Why would the Federal government want to censor that? Even Environment Canada is muzzled. Can't have people learning about nature and all the natural things that can kill us like, tornadoes, floods, ice ages, massive heat waves and of course famine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Ottawa+silences+scientist+over+West+Coast+salmon+study/5162745/story.html"&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Ottawa+silences+scientist+over+West+Coast+salmon+study/5162745/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Top bureaucrats in Ottawa have muzzled a leading fisheries scientist whose discovery could help explain why salmon stocks have been crashing off Canada's West Coast, according to documents obtained by Postmedia News.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The documents show the Privy Council Office, which supports the Prime Minister's Office, stopped Kristi Miller from talking about one of the most significant discoveries to come out of a federal fisheries lab in years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Science, one of the world's top research journals, published Miller's findings in January.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Researchers, who used to be free to discuss their science, are now required to follow a process that includes "media lines" approved by communications officers, strategists and ministerial staff in Ottawa. They vet media requests, demand reporters' questions in advance and decide when and if researchers can give interviews.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We do not live in a free and open society. We are treated as a nuisance, while government seeks to muzzle and restrict the free flow of data in order to control the people and cause regressions in our chain of learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more government can control the flow of data to the people, the more the people become slaves. And slavery is illegal. So go put on your suit and tie and go into your cubicle and work until the day you retire, unless man-made toxins in our environment don't end your life force first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beware of some 'science reports' that say that a certain chemical is not bad for you, when that chemical is not safe. As some corporations just love to fund a biased study that is intended to allow the constant poisoning of the public, by all sorts of add chemicals. Or have you wondered why cigarettes are so safe for you, or why certain chemicals that are in plastic are safe for you or why that herbicide weed killer and pesticide sprayed all over your food is safe for you. Follow the money. And don't forget to ask governments, "what is the safe bacteria and toxin level in the river downstream from the sewage plant and is it safe to eat the fish in that river?" People flush all sort of medications down the toilet and that gets absorbed by the food chain and served to you for dinner. Do some research on the Mississippi river and especially the 'dead zone' in the Gulf of Mexico where the Mississippi pours in to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bacteria is good for your body, but when the 'bad bacteria' over-comes the 'good bacteria', then we are all doomed. But the majority of life on this planet does disappear every so many hundreds of millions of years, so we just start again with what life survives. Death by nature is allowable, but death by mankind should never be allowed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people of this World are rising up to expose the corruption and greed that hinders evolution of the species. And for every truthful person 'silenced', there will be ten more truthful people that will take their place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So either you can get truthful knowledge and then broadcast the truth, or you can sit in your hole in the ground, where all you can see is what the weather looks like and then every so often your Master comes along to tell you "the slave" what you should know. And what your Master wants you to know is so far from the truth, that your head will explode with denial as the truth is revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-6219791817874101726?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6219791817874101726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6219791817874101726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/government-silencing-scientists.html' title='government silencing scientists'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-323522467936928134</id><published>2011-07-26T21:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-26T23:14:43.478-07:00</updated><title type='text'>criminal or victim or just nuts</title><content type='html'>Another tip. If the police show up at your door for a 'domestic disturbance' and 'request' you come outside... It's a trap!&lt;br /&gt;Case in point. Woman and her nephew arguing loudly. The police show up to investigate. Woman answers door and officer asks her to "step outside" to 'talk'. She gets arrested for 'public intoxication'(drunk in public view outside of her home). But she was not drunk. She had slurred speech from a stroke. Her son also got arrested(interfering with police). But not for the disturbance. He was just trying to show the officer paperwork about his mothers stroke condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mix1029.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=418844&amp;amp;article=8882592"&gt;http://www.mix1029.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=418844&amp;amp;article=8882592&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dianne Irons is suing the city of Dallas for violating her civil rights after being arrested and thrown in a drunk tank for six hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that there are millions of incidences of 'black tar heroin' being transported across the Canada/U.S. border every day? Well, not really. But in the 'War on drugs' or more like the 'war on sanity', people are being abused in the name of, of, of, brownie points for future promotions for enforcement officials?&lt;br /&gt;Minnesota grandmother takes her routine trip across the border to visit her adult kids in Canada, but border guards decide to search her vehicle(actually her daughters Minnesota registered van) and find a mysterious jar of brownish liquid.&lt;br /&gt;So she gets raped(strip searched) twice(maybe the border rape was just  to underwear?, like all border rules and regulations say) for her evil  deed of transporting a substance that has gotten many people killed over  the years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.canada.com/news/Minnesota+grandmother+treated+like+drug+smuggler+over+motor/5158333/story.html"&gt;http://www.canada.com/news/Minnesota+grandmother+treated+like+drug+smuggler+over+motor/5158333/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;....after she was arrested at the border for a jar of motor oil mistaken for heroin. She spent 12 harrowing days in jail for three drug charges that were later dropped.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Goodin said she was heading from her home in Warroad, Minnesota, to Sprague, Manitoba, to play bingo on April 20 when Canadian border guards at the Sprague port of entry started searching her van and found a canning jar containing brownish liquid. Sprague is about 230 kilometers southeast of Winnipeg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Line Karpish said in an email that the arrest by  the Sprague detachment was "based on information gathered and provided  by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the tease, but that jar of brownish liquid was just used motor oil, that somehow tested positive for 'drugs'. This is probably another case of, did someone actually open the jar and 'sniff'? Or did they just go, "must be drugs, oh boy I might get promoted for this bust", and never actually pop the top. Because popping the top would be considered something for Hazmat to be called in on(like meth labs), so the border officer does not get 'contaminated' by EVIL, EVIL DRUGS.&lt;br /&gt;People get stuck in one rutt of thought and it hurts innocent people many times over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been instances in North America where the drug test was never done and people have been jailed for it and prosecuted in a court of Law. People have even been jailed for selling a 'pretend' illegal drug on the street. Well since obviously the Perp was selling a fake drug to clients who thought it was a real illegal drug, so it must be a 'fraudulent business practice' and therefor punishable to the full extent of the war on illegal drugs. So be a good little citizen and keep paying those cut-throat prices on those 'legal prescription drugs', that benefit the massive profits of the 'legal' drug industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A more serious note. Sled dogs in Montana executed. But in this case, it was a nutjob, who......Ugggg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_3254cd52-2cec-5f8a-9f8a-7a16e3131c8d.html"&gt;http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_3254cd52-2cec-5f8a-9f8a-7a16e3131c8d.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Northcutt is also accused of killing 55 dogs and moving their bodies into star-shaped formations and patterns, according to charging documents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Court documents said after several hours when the dogs were killed, Northcutt "laid down amongst the formation and became unresponsive."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the alien mother ship didn't show up to take him away. It's interesting to analyze the root cause of some of these whacko's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Which leads to this.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RightWing Nut kills a bunch of people in Norway......... As news came out about the initial bombing, the Tea Party Rightwingers in the U.S., started spewing hatred and the call for war against Islam. And then a couple of hours later as the details came out, the TeaParty said "oh shit" and got quiet, after learing it was not a Muslim terror cell doing the killing and that it was one 'christian RightWingNut' who apparently liked the TeaParty peoples most hatefull thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;But don't worry about the TeaParty people's confusion. Once the TeaParty people were told what to think by their slave masters, they began their propaganda campaign of making it the LeftWingers(socialism and communism and caring about your fellow Human) fault and that the christian terrorist was not RightWing, even though all the evidence and the '1500 page manifesto of hate', proves it to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/07/27/norway.terror.web/"&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/07/27/norway.terror.web/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wars that Religion has caused over the Millennium is quite scary. Or did people not notice that some wars are to attack those that attack those who attack those because they attacked those that were defending against those that attacked those and in retribution of the attack last half moon of the attack against those that attacked those. KaBoom. In the name of someones personal god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget, that when your politicians are telling you that some invisible person keeps talking to them(a few republican Presidential candidate front runners 2011) and telling them that "by gods orders" this shall be done(against the peoples actual wishes), is that person may need a hospital stay. Keep religion out of politics. Keep religion out of war. And quit trying to kill people because paranoia has set in. After all, the Crusades were not exactly about the 'holy grail', but to force people to accept the christian god or be destroyed. And that makes some other religions pissed off about it, since it still continues to this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Crusades"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Crusades&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace be with you for all.............................  Eternity.  And during that eternity, think for your self and don't be a slave to someone else's thought process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-323522467936928134?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/323522467936928134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/323522467936928134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/criminal-or-victim-or-just-nuts.html' title='criminal or victim or just nuts'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-6991583741731135601</id><published>2011-07-13T20:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-13T22:38:20.718-07:00</updated><title type='text'>avoid gate rape by airport security</title><content type='html'>Some links to read up on how "for your national security protection", airport security guards are routinely assaulting(touching genitalia and breasts) people(little kids too) and not giving a crap about our Constitutional Rights and Freedoms.

One for the peasants  where they go to jail and one for the "enforcement officers", where they  get to sexually assault people in the name of paranoia. And we have  George W.

Don't worry, Canada still has Martial Law in force as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are now also being swabbed for exposure to explosive material and  being stripped for searches of healed scars from implanted explosive  devices.   So just how much bodily organs would have to be shifted to implant enough material to actually do any real damage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't worry you non-airline travelers, gate rape is coming to your bus stations and train stations and mass transit stations and the sidewalk on the street and maybe for your really tall office building.&lt;br /&gt;And can not forget about those special vans that are routinely using higher powered x-rays to see in parked cars. And they probably don't care if you are walking past the vehicle during the scan, or even in the vehicle during the scan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The X-ray body scanners are not safe for human use.  So who certified them in Canada? Was it Health Canada or another safety branch who should of tested the machines over at least two years(starting on rats and then moving to human trials) to determine the potencial cancer rates? Or is someone making a massive profit over paranoia and pushing these machines to the market without any testing.  &lt;a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/06/27/2012226/Cancer-Cluster-Possibly-Found-Among-TSA-Workers?utm_source=rss0.9&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed"&gt;http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/06/27/2012226/Cancer-Cluster-Possibly-Found-Among-TSA-Workers?utm_source=rss0.9&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two types of scanners. Backscatter X-ray scanner. Millimeter wave scanner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget that the x-ray machines are "digitally strip searching" you. And can store images. And send them out via the Internet to whomever would like to see the naked pics. So why can a security guard strip search you to full nudity? You'd think that he or she would instantly be arrested for doing that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rise up against the machine of Martial Law. Or be sexually assaulted and your kids assaulted and grandma assaulted by being stripped of her leak protection. &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/tsa-travel-screening-humiliating-searches/story?id=13940089"&gt; http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/tsa-travel-screening-humiliating-searches/story?id=13940089&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget that if you deny the assault, you shall not proceed and you will make it on to a special list of "someone to be assaulted the next time and the next time and the next time". Bullys love to make the victim experience the assault over and over again, until the victim commits suicide or the victim violently attacks the Bully. It's part of human nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now why are the airport police not arresting these TSA Bully's? You'd think that when a person is in need of crime prevention, that the officers would be more than happy to do their job of "to protect and to serve". As opposed to observing multiple assaults on multiple people on a daily basis and doing nothing.

You don't own them like a slave owner would. You have never felt the pain that comes with terminal disease.&lt;br /&gt;Do not think that pushing some mumbo jumbo in to their heads is going to make them all of sudden in perfect health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The body is just a vessel of electrical energy. The body can only do a slight regeneration below 5 years of age, otherwise once your body hits it's healthy peak, it's all downhill on the tissue degeneration scale.&lt;br /&gt;Some people are born with slight defects in their genetic code and their bodies will degrade quicker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brain may work, but when the body is just a corpse that breaths, what use is life anyways?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are people in the U.S. who refuse to die and will spend every penny they have left, to stay in one spot, plugged in to a machine that does what their body used to do. And that can be for 20 years in some cases. And then when the money runs out, it's time to terminate or.....&lt;br /&gt;And many people do not want to live plugged in to a machine for all eternity, well except for those people who had their head cut off after death and then have it frozen until a time when science can make a body to strap it too. And hopefully science can also figure out how to reverse that "cellular damage" from the freezing process, otherwise it's the dumpster for it. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Oh, you didn't want to hear about how humans are disposed of after unrepairable death? In current times the dumpster is a coffin or a quick trip in to the oven for cremation.  And the embalming process makes sure you are truly dead first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well then, think about this: You have a pet and you are moving to a place that the young healthy pet can not reside at. So what do you do? You take it to the Vet, who gives it a simple drug concoction to end it's life. You have zero problem with that for some odd reason. Since when is another organic life forms life less desirable?&lt;br /&gt;There are even people who put out ad's for people to adopt their pet for free, with very mixed results. The craziest ad's give away a free pet due to change of residence, but the pet(dog usually) is 13 years old. Now how long do dogs live? 13 years in decent shape, but then it's all downhill and of course excluding any genetic health issues the animal already had. And then there is sometimes an ad for a blind ten year old dog, that pee's occasionally inside and is losing it's hair and has epilepsy.  And you thought that the sled dogs demise was cruel, but just check out your local free pet listings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are various information links at the bottom of the full article at the BCCLA.org link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/dying/medically_assisted_dying.html"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/dying/medically_assisted_dying.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Challenging the criminal laws against medically-assisted dying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The BCCLA filed a lawsuit in April 2011 to challenge the laws that make it a criminal offense to assist seriously and incurably ill individuals to die with dignity. The legal challenge will seek to allow seriously and incurably ill, mentally competent adults the right to receive medical assistance to hasten death under certain specific safeguards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On June 29, 2011, Gloria Taylor filed an application with the BC Supreme Court asking to be added as a plaintiff in the BCCLA’s death with dignity lawsuit. Gloria, 63, of Westbank, BC, is terminally ill with ALS, a fatal neurodegenerative disease with no known cure or effective treatment.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;......The BCCLA believes that every Canadian should have the choice to have what they consider to be a good death, including the option of a medically-assisted death for seriously and incurably ill, mentally competent adults. Without a change in the law, seriously ill individuals will continue to suffer against their wishes at the end of life, without the choice and dignity that they deserve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone remember Sue Rodriguez?

Her first marriage was short-lived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rodriguez, who lived in Victoria, British Columbia, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in early 1991. She fought to have a legal right to assisted suicide; under the Criminal Code of Canada, assisted suicide is punishable by a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. She twice took her cause to the Supreme Court of Canada, but ultimately lost both battles. On September 30, 1993, in what would become a landmark decision, Rodriguez v. British Columbia (Attorney General), the SCC held 5-4 against her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In 1994, she decided to take her own life with the help of an anonymous physician. Svend Robinson, a New Democratic Party MP who had campaigned her cause, was also present.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A 1998 film called At the End of the Day: The Sue Rodriguez Story, with Wendy Crewson as Rodriguez, tells her story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;========================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Body is my Body.

Without having to face justice for their actions against people who may of been innocent of any crime(as in was the handheld breathalyzer flawed and convicted someone who was under .08bac or .06 bac).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Opinion+Lives+saved+roadside+suspensions+outweigh+loss+freedoms/5070407/story.html"&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Opinion+Lives+saved+roadside+suspensions+outweigh+loss+freedoms/5070407/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As we turn increasingly to measures such as civil forfeiture, which in effect impose criminal penalties without the need for a criminal trial, we increase the risk that we've gone too far.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;History shows that unfettered authority rarely metes out justice for all. We may accept the utility of roadside justice, but we should never get comfortable with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article has some interesting numbers, but as in any statistics, does it account for people out of work or the long cold snowy winter in BC's interior(non-south coast) or maybe some new bus service hours. Or maybe just people are scared shitless about paying $4,000 instantly without court. Now why would people filing a challenge for court for their punishment, suddenly drop by 70%? After all, ICBC says to pay your fine or else "no insurance renewal" and "no drivers license renewal" based on your roadside "conviction". But, but, only Judges can give convictions. Or the other way of "conviction" is by not challenging the ticket(by a certain date) and then the fine(conviction) becomes due for payment by a maximum calendar date. But also remember that it may take up to 3 years to challenge your "conviction", so will ICBC be screaming for their money long before that? Oh wait, I mean the Provinces money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.canada.com/health/Alcohol+related+deaths+down+cent+past+year+since+tougher+drinking+driving+laws/5085976/story.html"&gt;http://www.canada.com/health/Alcohol+related+deaths+down+cent+past+year+since+tougher+drinking+driving+laws/5085976/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whats interesting in this article is how the government is trying to downplay the "breathalyzer limit is still .08%bac". And then the article goes on to say that blowing over .05%bac still gets you to pay a $450 fine and possibly(more like probably) a tow truck bill and 3 days of impound fee's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chbcnews.ca/world/Drunk+driving+deaths+court+cases+down+since+roadside+bans+began/5086233/story.html"&gt;http://www.chbcnews.ca/world/Drunk+driving+deaths+court+cases+down+since+roadside+bans+began/5086233/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or link: &lt;a href="http://www.timescolonist.com/news/Jack+Knox+Road+deaths+fall+following+tougher+laws+drinking/5088084/story.html"&gt;http://www.timescolonist.com/news/Jack+Knox+Road+deaths+fall+following+tougher+laws+drinking/5088084/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Blow a "fail" — technically anything over .08, though the screening  devices are set higher — and you'll get a 90-day license suspension and  $750 in fines, will be required to take a driving course and use an  ignition device that won't let you start your vehicle without an  alcohol-free breath sample, and might see your car impounded for 30  days. That's about $4,600 worth of punishments, though you don't get a  criminal record.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This part from the article is interesting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BC Attorney General Barry Penner hopes the new process will clear clogged courts, though there  isn't yet much evidence of that as old cases work their way through the  system.Most drinking-driving charges are resolved through  guilty pleas, sometimes to a lesser offense. But roughly 40 per cent go  to trial, where about two-thirds end in conviction.&lt;/p&gt;Oh did people already forget how prosecution in a court system works?&lt;br /&gt;Well it can go like this:  Person commits the crime of the day/night. Gets caught. Police lay charges of potentially 7 counts of various things(if he feels like it, knowing what the Prosecutor is going to do with those charges). Charges are sent to the prosecutor, who may drop 5 of those charges down to the easiest for conviction and also cuts court time. So a criminal could potentially be sent to prison with 7 charges. But when you cut that down to two, well a small fine is paid and the Convict gets to go home, with potentially minor restrictions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Statistics can be broken down in so many ways.&lt;br /&gt;So are people cutting back on their drinking and then driving? Or is the system being gamed in order to avoid spending any more time than 30 minutes per convict/victim/person who just missed out on an actual court date to plead guilty or not guilty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BC Civil Liberties Association setting up a outreach location in Prince George.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Prince_George.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Prince_George.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BCCLA to set up chapter in capital of B.C.’s north: Prince George&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The BCCLA will be visiting Prince George in mid-July to set up a volunteer chapter of the organization, the first in a decade. The Prince George chapter will be volunteer run and will consist of local lawyers, teachers, activists, and others interested in human rights and civil liberties issues in the area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“The BCCLA has an abiding interest in being represented in all regions of the province on local human rights and civil liberties issues,” said Robert Holmes, Q.C., President of the BCCLA. “We have chosen Prince George for the first stop in this outreach effort for a number of reasons, including that it is a capital of the north, that there have been a disproportionate number of civil liberties issues there, and that we’ve had a very warm welcome from locals of Prince George who want to join and assist us.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The BCCLA has been concerned about repeated issues involving the RCMP in Prince George, including allegations around officer involvement with underage aboriginal sex workers the investigation of which was foiled by undue delay, the death of Clayton Alvin Willey following repeated blows and tasering at the detachment, and, most recently, the allegations of J.A. of inappropriate conduct by officers in the area. Prince George deservedly calls itself the capital of B.C.’s north, and is a short distance to Houston (Ian Bush), Vanderhoof (Kevin St. Arnaud), Williams Lake, and Hazelton (Rodney Jackson), all areas and cases of interest to the Association.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“We are urging anyone who is interested in becoming involved in the Association to contact us, and to come to the public meeting on the 20th,” said Holmes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What: Public meeting to establish the BCCLA Prince George Chapter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Where: Prince George Public Library Bob Harkins Branch (Downtown) 887 Dominion St.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When: July 20, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Who: All members of the public welcome, media welcome for the first half hour. Interested members of the public should contact info@bccla.org for further details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you are wondering about those Names in the announcement?  They are part of why the BCCLA is setting up a northern branch. And of course all those Prince George cab drivers who were more or less forced to submit DNA samples in order to prove their innocence, which is completely backwards to our Rights and Freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-2552281454091693596?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2552281454091693596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2552281454091693596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/interesting-drunk-numbers.html' title='interesting drunk numbers'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-7939284508104614131</id><published>2011-07-10T22:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-10T22:26:37.382-07:00</updated><title type='text'>logical quote of the times we live in</title><content type='html'>"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.

But the danger actually comes from those that seek to be authoritative dictators and tyrants(politicians, corporations and army men), as they force the peasants in to submission with threats of detainment or worse(torture and death at the hands of your own government or your own government will ship you to a foreign land for torture and death).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about it Western Canada? Is it time for us to leave the tyrants and dictators? We are quite self sufficient. But the anger of once again losing was aimed poorly. Peaceful protest is a Right and Government monitoring of their innocent peasants is a crime on a global scale. Parts of the Middle East are exercising freedom, but the Western World is being punished for our many years of freedoms, that we have taken for granted. We are all treated as prisoners. We have no more Freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peaceful Protest be with you, as there is no one left to save your souls in the corporate ruled wasteland of the Western World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-7939284508104614131?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7939284508104614131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7939284508104614131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/logical-quote-of-times-we-live-in.html' title='logical quote of the times we live in'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-892988613786742501</id><published>2011-07-09T19:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T19:34:22.998-07:00</updated><title type='text'>lawns are evil</title><content type='html'>How obsessed are some people with that evil thing called "lawn".&lt;br /&gt;It is a desolate area of peoples yards.&lt;br /&gt;It takes roughly 50% of tap water to keep it green(in the drought of August).&lt;br /&gt;People just love to put pesticides(bug killer) to make sure that nothing disturbs the little leafs of grass.&lt;br /&gt;People scream at the dog or cat poop on their un-fenced front yard from the stray(owned) dogs/cats.&lt;br /&gt;Why o why do people feel the need to keep a plant in an immature state for months on end(grass cut really short).&lt;br /&gt;Try planting a tree or shrub in the lawn area???? Thats not to be permitted by those that see a great disturbance in the farce of the lawn in the form of a natural beneficial plant.  Birds and beneficial bugs do need a tree or shrub to live in.&lt;br /&gt;The worst is when someone claims the gravel shoulder of the roadway and, oh the humanity, plants grass where cars are meant to park. And the poor car ends up parking in the lane of traffic, where even the police are not willing to ticket the parked car, for the driver not bothering to park on the shoulder of the road(grassed over shoulder) for fear of upsetting the Lawn Nazi.  By the way Lawn Nazi, those big rocks that you put on the edge of the road to keep cars off the grass you planted on city property on the parking shoulder, well imagine someone hitting those rocks accidentally.  Maybe by drifting to the side of the road at night or swerving from those stray dogs. Imagine ICBC(monopoly vehicle insurance company in BC) coming after you for all that undercarriage damage from that debris you carelessly put where cars drive. But then again, ICBC probably wouldn't bother to kick your ass for causing the larger than nothing insurance claim, now would they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/oakland_county/oak-park-battles-city-over-vegetable-garden-in-their-front-yard"&gt;http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/oakland_county/oak-park-battles-city-over-vegetable-garden-in-their-front-yard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;OAK PARK, Mich. (WXYZ) - Their front yard was torn up after replacing a sewer line, so instead of replacing the dirt with grass, one Oak Park woman put in a vegetable garden and now the city is seeing green.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The list goes on: fresh basil, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, cumbers and more all filling five large planter boxes that fill the Bass family’s front yard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Julie Bass says, “We thought we’re minding our own business, doing something not ostentatious and certainly not obnoxious or nothing that is a blight on the neighborhood, so we didn't think people would care very much.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But some cared very much and called the city. The city then sent out code enforcement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many decades ago during world War 2, people were encouraged to grown their own food on their own land, as it helped to reduce food shortages. It was called the Victory Garden.&lt;br /&gt;So many people have become brainwashed in to thinking that any bare patch of dirt/soil needs to have a green lawn on it for some odd reason. Maybe the people who make those dastardly lawn rules were forced to maintain their parents lawn or face a daily beating.&lt;br /&gt;Natural plantings(shrubs) are better for the Planet we rent.  And if you can grow your own food, well thats for the better.&lt;br /&gt;We do have a global food crisis, but not the one that the media talks about. We are talking about genetically modified food. The 'plant' that can be in danger of going sterile(does not reproduce without intervention by man), as nature does not care for modifications from a balanced natural path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what do you care anyways. Micky D's is around the corner and they always have food available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.efc.ca/pages/free-speech/blue-ribbon.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.efc.ca/images/efcfreet.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-892988613786742501?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/892988613786742501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/892988613786742501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/lawns-are-evil.html' title='lawns are evil'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-7232068998291819377</id><published>2011-07-09T15:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T18:12:50.464-07:00</updated><title type='text'>canadas useless media and other issues</title><content type='html'>Quite the article from a, now former, elevated reporter(Kai Nagata). He got tired of the B.S. in the system and is now free to publish real issues, instead of being more or less forced to regurgitate that tripe that people watch all day long on what is supposedly 'news'. Pretty faces on the news that go 'um' and 'ahh' and 'derpy derpy doo', are not reporters or weather-casters or editors. They are low skill, pretty looking people, who are lucky they have their looks, otherwise they would be classified as "unskilled labor".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kainagata.com/2011/07/08/why-i-quit-my-job/"&gt;http://kainagata.com/2011/07/08/why-i-quit-my-job/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real news is from overseas and not the "shock and awe" from Canadian based news broadcasts of whatever event is blown out of proportions to what it really is. FoxNews is a propaganda machine. FoxNews north(suntv) is it's illegitimate child that wants to be like daddy(once the "truth in news" law is removed).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real news at:&lt;br /&gt;AlJazeera&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/"&gt;http://english.aljazeera.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Canadians, we do not want to be ruled by the United States Republicans, but that is what we have now, according to the latest election. The Conservatives even told you what they were going to do to you, yet you still voted for the Conservatives. How big was that rock that you were under?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you enjoying Canada supposedly ending their 'war of terror' in the Middle East? 'Ending' is such a loose term. But Canada does what it's Republican Masters tell it to do. Just be glad our mortgages have regulations, otherwise you may of ended up on the street eating out of a dumpster. Republican Red States even arrest people who feed the homeless on the street. But the excuse for preventing the feeding of the homeless is 'food safety guidelines', which is just a loophole to prevent the fair treatment of human beings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science is slowly moving on to it's death bed in Canada. Science is proven, and the coming replacement(creationism) is just religion based , or shall we call it, "delusions". Science proves facts. Religion proves nothing. Religion is the belief in things that are only in the mind and the occasional image of the Virgin Mary on a fried cheese sandwich. But religious people will yell and scream and taunt those that have facts in order to disallow those facts. Have you ever wondered why it is taking so long for "Gay Rights" to be made 100% legal all over the U.S.? People who have their bible next to their heart tend to see things that do not exist in the Bible and their minds make up things to make certain people less of a person(non-equal), in order for religion to be the Master of all, with no contradiction allowed.&lt;br /&gt;Remember history and all those Scientists who were persecuted by the church for stating facts of a 'round world' that 'orbited the sun'.&lt;br /&gt;You can practice your faith , but when that faith interferes with others non-faith lives,&lt;br /&gt;But seriously, read your bible and read all the words as written. Don't allow the minister of the flock to lead the sheep astray, as that can lead to many hardships on those outside the flock. And those outside the flock are getting so tired of a tyrant telling them what to do, as per certain religious rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Environmental concerns? Profit is more important than the environment to Rich People who rule you, "the slaves of corporations".  Canada has 50 years worth of oil in sand, but have our gasoline prices dropped? Nope. The excuse is due to global oil pricing, but the reality is Republicans set our prices and treat Canada as a "lesser being". Canada could close up the oil imports and just use domestic oil and natural gas, but there are those that see no profit in that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada needs to be it's own country and not just a puppet of Corporations, who do not care for the side effects of all that money that they earn. The side effect being that they can't just withdraw all the money from your bank account at will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-7232068998291819377?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7232068998291819377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/7232068998291819377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/07/canadas-useless-media-and-other-issues.html' title='canadas useless media and other issues'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-436820846173908565</id><published>2011-07-04T09:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-04T10:15:02.602-07:00</updated><title type='text'>so long canadian constitution</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed0oJ58FUgk/ThHqU4uHHCI/AAAAAAAAACA/zPitexbPddI/s1600/canada%2Bflag%2Bfirewall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 141px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed0oJ58FUgk/ThHqU4uHHCI/AAAAAAAAACA/zPitexbPddI/s320/canada%2Bflag%2Bfirewall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625535054106532898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The massive surveillance bill that the current Republican(Conservative) Canadian government is intent on passing is almost here. All your Internet data will be logged without warrants and without any "just cause".  We will be treated as prisoners in a prison, with no Rights and Freedoms of our communications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can not just stand still and allow our Rights and Freedoms to be removed by Illegal Legislation.  And we must push for 'long jail terms' for those politicians that have created and are trying to impose this travesty of justice on the Canadian people. It is the only way that Tyrants and Dictators will ever learn to respect the People of the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This surveillance fully violates our Privacy Rights.&lt;br /&gt;Canadas Privacy Commissioner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.priv.gc.ca/complaint/index_e.cfm"&gt;http://www.priv.gc.ca/complaint/index_e.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deep Packet Inspection(DPI) and how it is a violation of your privacy Rights.  But then again, you didn't know that your ISP(not Telus and not some independent ISP's) is monitoring your Internet data in order to make money by selling that data(in a barely anonymous form) to advertisers for profit. Shaw is now redirecting mis-spelled websites to their Ad page(search engine results), but you can opt-out. Rogers is inserting data(deep packet injection)(Illegal Hacking) in to your Internet stream. The quick excuse is, "to give the user system notices", but it can be used to insert Ad's in to websites white spaces or it can be used to replace a web pages Ad's with the ISP's own Ad's(also known as Illegal Hacking). This DPI is not to be confused with YouTube Ad's that are based on your ISP(geo-location IP address) to serve Ad's that are to your location. But how do you know that the website that you are looking at is actually the website? And not just some censored recreation of the website. It is so easy for an ISP to do censorship to prevent the people from learning about things that the Government does not want them learning.&lt;br /&gt;DPI and non-existent privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.priv.gc.ca/resource/consultations/index_e.cfm"&gt;http://www.priv.gc.ca/resource/consultations/index_e.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some links to check out..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Omnibus_crime_bill.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Omnibus_crime_bill.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BCCLA Says Omnibus Crime Bill Too Big for Proper Debate; Controversial Internet Surveillance Bills Should be Addressed Separately&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The BCCLA is calling the government’s proposed omnibus crime bill “inherently problematic”.  The government has committed to introducing and passing a massive omnibus crime bill incorporating a number of very different pieces of legislation.  The Association says that disparate bills combined in an omnibus package prevent the component bills from being properly studied and debated.  Among the Association’s specific concerns is the likely inclusion of bills to increase surveillance of telecommunications and provide warrantless access to telecommunications customer data. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“In 1982, a Conservative opposition successfully resisted passage of the Trudeau government’s omnibus bill on energy policy.  Recognizing the critical importance of proper parliamentary procedure, the Conservatives in opposition succeeded in having the bill split into eight separate bills for proper debate and scrutiny.  We are calling on the government to recognize these principles in relation to their own omnibus proposal and assure a meaningful debate on all the varied and controversial bills that would make up the omnibus crime bill,” said Robert Holmes, Q.C., President of the BCCLA. “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The omnibus bill proposal is likely to include legislation that will have serious negative implications for citizens’ privacy rights.  Bills from the previous parliament would require telecommunications service providers to build in surveillance capacity into their systems and require handing over customer information to police or intelligence without a warrant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Holmes:  “These bills have never had the benefit of a hearing before any Parliamentary Committee and Canada’s federal and provincial Privacy Commissioners are united in opposing these new police surveillance powers.  The government has already recognized the divisibility of the proposed omnibus bill by severing Bill C-2, which deals with large criminal trials.  Given the serious concerns raised by Canada’s Privacy Commissioners, so-called “lawful access” bills, as well as other bills in the omnibus proposal that stand to profoundly affect citizens’ rights, need to have an appropriate hearing before Parliament.  And that cannot happen if they are all rolled into an omnibus package.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DSLreports forums. page two has some video's for your interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26010795-The-Spy-bill-is-closer-to-being-passed"&gt;http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26010795-The-Spy-bill-is-closer-to-being-passed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the U.S., where innocent people are also wondering why government is so intent on illegally spying on hundreds of millions of innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/digital-age-what-heck-happened-constitution"&gt;http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/digital-age-what-heck-happened-constitution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In this digital age, what the heck happened to the Constitution?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In this digital age of surveillance, do you ever wonder what the heck happened to the Constitution? It wasn't written to be temporary or optional. On Independence Day, surely SCOTUS ghosts walk the DOJ halls to see how America is faring on her birthday in balancing justice, technology, surveillance and civil liberties.

The bills go beyond violating the civil liberties of Canadians: they will also hurt their pocketbooks. Canadians will literally pay a high price for Lawful Access, as ISPs are forced to upgrade their infrastructure to allow terabytes of data to be made accessible to a range of "authorities."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;OpenMedia.ca, and a group of over 30 other public interest organizations, businesses and several concerned academics have joined together to challenge the Lawful Access bills. The group of organizations is concerned by the fact that these bills are set to be fast-tracked without proper examination or debate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Stop Online Spying group is calling on Canadians to stop these bills in their tracks and keep the Internet open and affordable by signing the petition at http://www.StopSpying.ca&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Every single provincial privacy commissioner has spoken against this bill," says OpenMedia.ca’s Executive Director, Steve Anderson. "Law-abiding Canadians should be able to use the Internet and mobile devices without Big Telecom and government looking over their shoulders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"These invasive surveillance bills will transform the Internet into a closed, rigid, and paranoid space."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Canadians who want to take a stand against warrantless online surveillance can sign the petition at &lt;a href="http://www.stopspying.ca/"&gt;http://www.StopSpying.ca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;------The government is trying to ram through an anti-Internet set of electronic surveillance laws that will invade your privacy and cost you money. The plan is to force every phone and Internet provider to surrender our personal information to "authorities" without a warrant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This bizarre legislation will create Internet surveillance that is:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    Warrantless: A range of "authorities" will have the ability to invade the private lives of law-abiding Canadians and our families using wired Internet and mobile devices, without a warrant or any justification.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    Invasive and Dangerous: The laws leave our personal and financial information less secure and more susceptible to cybercrime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    Costly: Internet services providers may be forced to install millions of dollars worth of spying technology and the cost will be passed down to YOU.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;If enough of us speak out now the government will have no choice but to stop this mandatory online spying scheme. Sign the petition now, and forward it to everyone you know.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Some good news... Executives from Spains copyright mafia have been arrested for various crimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://torrentfreak.com/music-rights-group-raided-by-police-bosses-arrested-for-fraud-110702/"&gt;http://torrentfreak.com/music-rights-group-raided-by-police-bosses-arrested-for-fraud-110702/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In a massive operation, Spanish music rights and anti-piracy groups SGAE and SDAE have been raided by more than 50 police officers and tax officials. Operation Saga is the culmination of a two-year investigation into embezzlement, fraud, and misappropriation of funds, the latter connected to SGAE and SDAE collecting money on behalf of artists and spending it with companies they have interests in. The president of SGAE was among 9 people arrested.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The copyright mafia in Canada would also like you to support their failing/failed business model, by allowing them to 'assist' the Canadian government in creating draconian laws that will allow all sorts of taxes and fees to be added to the purchase of your digital music players and the worst one is, "a monthly fee on your Internet connection to allow you to download as much material as you want". But there are many problems with that. One being that millions of people do not download music or movies online, and it would seem to be highly illegal to charge someone a fee that they will never use. It is just like Bell Internet and a "forced modem rental fee", when you do not rent a modem from Bell.&lt;br /&gt;There have been comments about how the police would be allowed to automatically stop you and search your music player(the Canada/U.S. border is already doing it with players and computers already under the fraudulent reason of "naughty stuff might be on the item") to determine if you 'purchased' that music or pirated it. That sure sounds illegal to stop and search someone without legal cause. But what does "legal reasons for a forced search" mean anymore?&lt;br /&gt;There have also been rumblings, by the copyright mafia, to allow them to put spyware on peoples computers for, "to make sure that all data on the users computers is purchased media and not pirate media". Part of this legislation would be to make anti-spyware illegal and certain modifications of your anti-virus, where it will ignore certain government sanctioned infections. Sony music around 2005, had put a 'rootkit' on to their music cd's for copy protection. Too bad Sony executives were not prosecuted and jailed for 20 years, instead of having to just replace infected cd's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free or Donation, Anti-spyware program.

There used to be something called 'Judicial oversight' that is intended to assure the public from being abused by the powers that be.  But it has gone the way of the dinosaur. You may see small bits of it if you dig deep enough, but with some rulings that have been implemented, what use is "innocence" is you are constantly being accused of "the crime of the moment".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Committing+crime+Your+driver+licence+could+witness+against/5003044/story.html"&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Committing+crime+Your+driver+licence+could+witness+against/5003044/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.....in this country of what Simon Fraser University communication professor Peter Chow-White warns is 'function creep' -- that is using a technology or process designed for a specific purpose for other purposes. Thanks to face recognition technology, data collected for drivers' licenses could be used for everything from naming rioters to providing police with personal data on people caught committing a variety of crimes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;..."The function of the ICBC database is not for law enforcement as far as I know," said Chow-White. "They don't tell me when I get my picture taken this could be used in a police investigation."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;....ICBC's database contains current and past photos of the more than three million people who hold BC driver's licenses plus non-drivers, such as seniors or youth over the age of 12, who have a photo card from ICBC to use as government-issued ID.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heres an interesting article on "portable facial recognition camera phones". Also iris identification as well(used as another form of identifying someone). But then again, the RCMP have been taking pictures of people at protests for years, without justifiable cause(as in, was the person committing a crime, that legal need for an image to be captured?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20079121-17/police-tapping-iphone-for-facial-recognition/"&gt;http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20079121-17/police-tapping-iphone-for-facial-recognition/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;about 40 law-enforcement agencies across the U.S. will be making the handheld product available to their officers in the field as early as September. The device, which has been developed by Massachusetts-based BI2 Technologies, allows officers to take a photo of a person from a distance of five feet or less. That photo is then compared with a database of images of people with criminal records to see if there is a match. The device is also capable of scanning a person's iris.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Like with any other platform, there are some limitations with BI2's device. For one, it needs to be attached to the back of an iPhone in order to work, which leaves out agencies using Android, Windows Phone, or any other devices. According to the Journal, BI2 will offer an Android-capable version "in the future" but didn't say when.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you have any questions for BC's Information and Privacy Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oipc.bc.ca/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=137&amp;amp;Itemid=62"&gt;http://www.oipc.bc.ca/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=137&amp;amp;Itemid=62&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beware of saving your digital data in the 'cloud'(online digital storage'). It is not safe from the powers that be. But what does your innocence matter anyways?

You stated that you want the drivers of BC to help you stomp out drinking and driving(over the 'legal limit' impaired driving?), but what are you going to do for us? Are you going to stop giving liquor licenses to places that are not on a 8am to 1am transit route? Will you be enforcing the 'serve it right' rules? As 'serving it right', means to not serve someone to over the legal driving limit, even if they are walking or taking the bus. So how many establishments with a liquor license have been shut down for a week for over-serving? How many places have lost their liquor license either temporarily or permanently(while remaining open)?&lt;br /&gt;You know what Government? Responsibility is a two way street and if you don't help BY JAILING OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT IMPAIRED DRIVERS on a first offense with a legally valid alcohol reading, instead of a misdemeanor fine,,,, You cause the impaired driver crashes that you like to blow up in the media. How about all those sober drivers who crossed the center line and crashed and killed? Or those sober drivers who can't drive worth shit, but still amazingly are allowed to drive, as the police have not seen the near accidents due to budget cuts in actual 'patrols' of the roadways, instead of parking in one spot and accusing all drivers of being drunk, to save fuel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Anyone need to vent some confidential government information? hackerleaks is open for business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/30/anonymous-hackerleaks_n_888070.html"&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/30/anonymous-hackerleaks_n_888070.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An open government is a 'responsible to the people government'. Secrets are for governments who really hate it when the people that they serve keep asking questions about all the corruption and loss of the peoples freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing how some governments(and their close associates) past and present, have called for death to leakers of the peoples data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.hackerleaks.tk/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In both security as well as overall strategy, HackerLeaks is closely modeled on WikiLeaks.

Our second commitment is to ensure that each and every leak receives the maximum exposure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; possible in order to achieve the most profound political impact for the risks taken by those submitting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; material.

Don't be corrupt. Don't be letting your own biased beliefs leech in to your police work(hating particular people based on color, political views or monetary value). And security is more than just a password of 1234.&lt;br /&gt;And the lesson learned from Orlando, Florida? Don't be arresting people who feed the homeless, because you'd rather the homeless be bussed out of town and in to oblivion.  Rich people sure hate it when the economy is bad and too damn many people are homeless and ruining the scenery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respect your fellow humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;******&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Peace to all and may those that are corrupt and greedy be jailed for all eternity.

Always remember that the 'radio waves' are just like a microwave, there is radiation and standing next to an open machine all day long is going to spill x-rays out of the x-ray oven, oh whoops, I mean body scanner.&lt;br /&gt;Some comments have asked about the baggage x-ray machines and their spillage. Those machines are designed in a way that keeps the x-ray compartment confined to the center and various safe-guards(long tunnel to the center and end flaps) to ensure that.&lt;br /&gt;Various organizations, who actually give a crap about peoples safety, are recommending that children and the elderly avoid the x-ray scanner, as it can lead to heightened risk of skin cancer. And of course also needing to be mentioned is when a 'security guard' touches your genitalia, is that you should defend yourself against the assault(either on the spot or via the courts). The police can not do that type of search without court admissible evidence of needing to fondle you and so neither should the security guard either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://epic.org/2011/06/epic-v-dhs-lawsuit----foiad-do.html"&gt;http://epic.org/2011/06/epic-v-dhs-lawsuit----foiad-do.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;EPIC v. DHS Lawsuit -- FOIA'd Documents Raise New Questions About Body Scanner Radiation Risks &lt;/h3&gt;            &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In a FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, EPIC has just obtained &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://epic.org/privacy/airtravel/backscatter/epic_v_dhs_radiation.html#foia"&gt;documents&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  concerning the radiation risks of TSA's airport body scanner program.  The documents include agency emails, radiation studies, memoranda of  agreement concerning radiation testing programs, and results of some  radiation tests. One document set reveals that even after TSA employees  identified cancer clusters possibly linked to radiation exposure, the  agency failed to issue employees dosimeters - safety devices that could  assess the level of radiation exposure. Another document indicates that  the DHS mischaracterized the findings of the National Institute of  Standards and Technology, stating that NIST "affirmed the safety" of  full body scanners. The documents obtained by EPIC reveal that NIST  disputed that characterization and stated that the Institute did not, in  fact, test the devices. Also, a Johns Hopkins University study revealed  that radiation zones around body scanners could exceed the "General  Public Dose Limit."

But what you don't know will bite you in the ass. Like how without legislated privacy laws(which actually already exist and are ignored by the powers that rule your uneducated ass) you can be monitored at any time(via the RFID card) by the police or security forces.  The GPS on your smart phone can be used to track you as well. And even your smart phones WiFi hotspot identifier can track you. Triangulation of the towers that the phone connects too can also track you(but not to the exact spot you are at).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://autos.aol.com/article/e-zpass-privacy-invasion/"&gt;http://autos.aol.com/article/e-zpass-privacy-invasion/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue about using the system to write traffic tickets is interesting. But without a 100% guarantee that computer system clocks are perfectly synchronized with each other and the variable of differing speed zones, is that people could be railroaded into being called guilty of speeding without actually speeding above the speed limit. And since your glorious government has given a 'monopoly insurance company'(ICBC) control of everything to do with driving in British Columbia(which seems like a conflict of interest), you will be automatically declared guilty and barely given a way of disputing the fraudulent ticket in a court(provincial court preferably and not some possibly biased tribunal).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the funny of the week. Seattle police officer in the police parkade was cleaning out his police cars trunk. Puts his rifle(has been called an assault rifle) on the truck lid of the police car next to him and gets distracted. Female police officer gets in that car with the rifle on it and drives away and parks a few blocks down the road. So no police around and a citizen notices the rifle and of course takes a picture and locates some bicycle police to report the incident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.komonews.com/news/local/124662724.html"&gt;http://www.komonews.com/news/local/124662724.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whats really funny, is that the police rifle being unattended is 'only' a violation of policy and not a violation of the law.  But can you imagine if a civilian had done the same? The police would of used it as a 'crime of the week' media frenzy.&lt;br /&gt;Actually the crime to write a ticket about is, 'insecure load'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a pic on failblog.org&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://failblog.org/2011/06/29/epic-fail-photos-probably-bad-news-i-feel-like-im-forgetting-something-important/"&gt;http://failblog.org/2011/06/29/epic-fail-photos-probably-bad-news-i-feel-like-im-forgetting-something-important/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-2594141451122028579?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2594141451122028579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2594141451122028579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/06/are-aiport-body-scanners-causing-cancer.html' title='are aiport body scanners causing cancer to workers'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-5583751167140242666</id><published>2011-06-21T14:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-21T14:50:15.727-07:00</updated><title type='text'>police state usa</title><content type='html'>Once again the TSA(transportation safety administration) are expanding on their violating of peoples Rights and Freedoms. Most(if not all) counts of the Patriot Act have been declared Illegal(by actual Judges too), but the Police State does not care about their actions being legal or Illegal. It only cares about subjecting all people(well except the security forces and higher up politicians) to instant gropings and skin cancer causing(young and the old are at risk) microwave radiation(illegal digital strip search).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continue to enjoy your police state in the U.S.A. you paranoid crazies that want even more of the police state(in-home searches??), but why do you keep pushing it further into Canada?  We don't want it. We are sick and tired of being treated as criminals without justifiable cause.  But some police forces seem to enjoy it when they can just stop people and search for innocence. Remember that roadblock you got stopped at? Now why did the officer need to ask you all those questions about your travels and why did he shine that flashlight into your vehicle to look for incriminating evidence of a crime? Maybe he even 'suggested' that you open your trunk to prove your innocence? Roadblocks are for one thing only(as per Judges orders) and that is to find impaired drivers and not just to use the illegal stop as a method to search for any criminal activity.  It's too bad that 30 years(of roadblocks) have brainwashed many into thinking that roadblocks are legal, when they are not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/06/tsa-swarms-8000-bus-stations-public-transit-systems-yearly"&gt;http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/06/tsa-swarms-8000-bus-stations-public-transit-systems-yearly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"operations are now even targeting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcpauw7uW0I&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;freight trucks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; on highways.

If you liked this story, check out our story on how the TSA is &lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/tsa-spot-scan-paul-ekman" target="_blank"&gt;scanning your face in an attempt to read your mind&lt;/a&gt;, our explainer on the &lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2011/05/why-secrecy-airport-scanners" target="_blank"&gt;safety of the new "porno-scanners&lt;/a&gt;," our report on the TSA &lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/mojo/2010/12/tsa-misses-loaded-glock-gun-video" target="_blank"&gt;missing a man's loaded handgun&lt;/a&gt;, our investigation of the &lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/mojo/2010/01/airport-scanner-scam" target="_blank"&gt;people who are profiting from the new scanners&lt;/a&gt;, and Kevin Drum's &lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/11/my-tsa-anti-rant" target="_blank"&gt;anti-anti-TSA rant&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;******************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Middle East is pushing for and getting freedom from the Western Oppression that has ensalved them for 3 decades. From the secret police on the streets making people 'disappear', to soldiers barging into your home and searching for dissidents(who publicly publicize the corruption of their countries leaders), to all your communications being monitored(just like Canada wants to do to you, Citizen).&lt;br /&gt;Whats amazing, is that while they are finally tasting freedoms, we in North America are being "enslaved" by our governments. Imagine if Canada stopped supporting the U.S. in all it's Republican War campaigns. Imagine Canada being 100% neutral. Imagine being able to drive or use transit or walk the streets without cameras and 'undercover police' following you, since you fit the dissident criteria.  But don't forget, is that 'profiling' people is illegal. You can not be subjected to being abused by the security forces due to your looks or way of dressing. But what does your Constitutional Rights and Freedoms mean anymore anyways? People have become nothing but sheep and the peoples Rights and Freedoms will be slaughtered, by those in power, in the name of "paranoia".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-5583751167140242666?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5583751167140242666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5583751167140242666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/06/police-state-usa.html' title='police state usa'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-6571630401152547685</id><published>2011-06-09T18:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-09T18:57:04.794-07:00</updated><title type='text'>a quote</title><content type='html'>"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the  government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-6571630401152547685?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6571630401152547685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6571630401152547685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/06/quote.html' title='a quote'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-3103894607638790615</id><published>2011-06-08T11:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T12:01:00.753-07:00</updated><title type='text'>not drunk but medical issue</title><content type='html'>Yet another example of inflating those "drunks busted" numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailyjournal.net/view/story/7817c0147e584b40b11b75954adac8e3/TN--Police-Lawsuit/"&gt;http://www.dailyjournal.net/view/story/7817c0147e584b40b11b75954adac8e3/TN--Police-Lawsuit/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A Lenoir City man has filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the Loudon County sheriff after he said he was mistakenly arrested when deputies mistook his cerebral palsy symptoms for drunkenness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Short story is, a guy hits a dog and goes to the police to report it and then since he has a visible medical issue, he gets automatically busted/prosecuted for being an assumed drunk driver, rather than someone with a stated medical issue.

Now file sharing does have many 'legal' uses like Linux operating system files, open source softwares, etc.. But since the copyright mafia is not happy with their meager billions of dollars per year in profits(some of which do not properly make it back to the Artists), they will do things that will make them 'extortion' money. Now where the extortion comes in, is where peoples IP address's(which do not actually identify the "actual person" downloading) are collected(via a honey pot(dedicated server) or the uploaders IP address) and then a "pay up or be sued" letter will be sent to the ISP(internet service provider) of that IP address, to be forwarded to the registered user of that IP address at the time(and in some instances, the IP address may of belonged to another user and not you).  The initial settlement offer of, "pay $1500 or be sued for ten times that amount". That is a nice profit over the $30 that the movie costs in the video store. The $30 is based on the lawyer not even bothering to check for how many times that 'copy' was uploaded from a persons computer(was it one time or was it 1,000 times?). As some people have gotten a 'copyright violation notice' mere days after installing a filesharing program and not realizing that the programs default has the upload set to 'on'. Some people have also had there personal files(electronic tax files) uploaded, since they did not know that the filesharing program will upload from the shared folder on their computer, where Internet users can peruse the files for what they might want to download.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-p2p-lawsuit-shows-signs-of-a-pirate-honeypot-110601/"&gt;http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-p2p-lawsuit-shows-signs-of-a-pirate-honeypot-110601/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Starting last year U.S. courts have been bombarded with lawsuits against tens of thousands of file-sharers. Among the copyright holders claiming damages are a few well-known names, but the vast majority of the cases concern more obscure content. As time passes by more and more copyright trolls join in, and in some cases copyright holders are now suing people for files that were deliberately mislabeled, lulling unsuspecting individuals in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some lawyers in Europe have been temporarily barred from practicing, due to participating in extortion schemes, such as in the article.&lt;br /&gt;Also deliberately mislabeling P2P files in order to get a conviction on another copyright is like selling someone an expensive piece of jewelery at a costume jewelery price and then filing a theft lawsuit against the customer for 'stealing' the expensive jewelery, since they did not pay the proper price for a 'mislabeled' item.&lt;br /&gt;Well lets say that "someone"(strange how a movie gets leaked to the public before release, isn't it?) puts a movie online that will be in theaters in one week. And then labels that movie as 'open source stock footage of Europe'. So people download it, thinking that they can see the sights of Europe, and then when they play the video, it's the latest movie that is not even released yet. So a few weeks later, you get a notice to fork over $1500 or be sued.&lt;br /&gt;Note that with all this, is even though you have supposedly broken the law, is the police are never called to place charges against you. As these lawyers and copyright mafia would prefer to avoid certain levels of the legal system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also cases in the U.S. where these lawyers will file a class action lawsuit against ten thousand file sharing users(noted by IP address) in one States court. Some Judges have not allowed that to happen, due to various reasons of the users not knowing of each others presence(gang type activity is not a proper description of the mass of users), as well as the financial hardship of a user having to travel across the country to defend themselves in court. Also considering that your one copyright violating oop's, puts you in the same legal quagmire as Mr. Uploader, so you face the same monetary punishment(like where a getaway driver is also charged for murder, instead of accessory to murder). It should be noted that the State/region that you live in, should be the area to have the court case in, due to legal rules being different in various jurisdictions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we can't forget that some governments are afraid of what the people are learning on the Internet.  As some governments are afraid of being "open" to their Citizens.&lt;br /&gt;Even the copyright mafia wants to disconnect people off of the Internet by just an "accusation"(no charges or court trial) of filesharing of copyrighted works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gov20.govfresh.com/un-disconnecting-internet-users-is-a-breach-of-human-rights-report/"&gt;http://gov20.govfresh.com/un-disconnecting-internet-users-is-a-breach-of-human-rights-report/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;United Nations: Disconnecting Internet users is a breach of human rights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What’s at stake today has been what’s at stake for more than 15 years, said Benkler: The possibility that a coalition of forces who are afraid of the internet will shut it down.”There is still a very powerful counter argument, one that says both for innovation and for freedom, we need an open Net.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-8228519705575077232?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/8228519705575077232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/8228519705575077232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/06/lawsuit-o-matic.html' title='lawsuit o matic'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-2078599996806591046</id><published>2011-06-01T14:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-01T14:51:46.970-07:00</updated><title type='text'>lazy justice</title><content type='html'>This is just goes to show how bad our legal system has gotten in North America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/bird-watcher-wrongly-arrested-for-possession-of-pot-1507669.html?cxntlid=cmg_cntnt_rss"&gt;http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/bird-watcher-wrongly-arrested-for-possession-of-pot-1507669.html?cxntlid=cmg_cntnt_rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sheriff's Deputy Dominic Raimondi, 51, mistook Brown's sage for marijuana,  then searched her car and found more.

The suit accuses the Broward State Attorney's Office of negligence and malicious prosecution.  Circuit Judge John Bowman dismissed Browns case in January, saying prosecutors  are given immunity from lawsuits in the course of doing their jobs. Brown is appealing to 4 District Court of Appeal in hopes she will be granted  the right to a jury trial. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;So here you have just another example of the War on Drugs. Or more like, "just how many 'instant' convictions can the prosecutor(&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Assistant State Attorney)&lt;/span&gt; get, to inflate the wins on his career record". Where does this B.S. stop?  Just imagine yourself being arrested and raped(article notes a cavity search), due to someone who considers their self immune from the Law that the rest of us have to follow and adhere to. Things need to be tested for 100% proof of being an illegal substance or crime and proper paperwork filed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Such a reminder of the new driver conviction system in BC, where the "over the legal alcohol limit" driver is convicted(by a police officer) based on a potentially flawed 'hand-held' breathalyser reading. Or where a driver is convicted(by ICBC) of being a dangerous driver(and punished) based on one or two traffic tickets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;What use are courts and Judges anymore? The politicians are modifying the system to prevent people from getting justice. And that would appear to be a crime. Something about that "Right to a fair trial". And to say it yet again, "tribunals are not a fair trial". And always research your Judge(if the system allows you access to the courts), to make sure the Judge is not judging based on what the Powers that be want him to Judge. And call for a new trial(by showing a Judges potential bias) to find a Judge that rules for the people and not just ruling for the corporations that rule this planet. The Constitution and Civil Rights apply first and any law, action, or legislation that violates the Constitution are a crime against the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Martial Law(Illegal Patriot Act) has been renewed for 4 years. And yes it applies to Canada as well.  Don't be a victim of U.S. actions/crimes. Don't be a victim of your Canadian government following U.S. orders to the letter, to assault innocent Canadians 24/7/365.

This does happen in Canada as well. Security guards have been told that they will be allowed to fondle people and not be charged with a crime(oh look, a privacy screen to prevent others videoing the crime for the World to see).  But even Border guards are not allowed to touch the "private parts" as the courts have shown with convictions. So why are 'security guards' alllowed to violate the the laws that even law enforcement officers have to abide by?&lt;br /&gt;So everybody, just forget that Constitution thingy, as the U.S. military(out of sight) is steering our national and local security practices. You will be tracked and monitored and subject to sudden searches of your person and backpacks and electronics and Internet communications, in the name of "martial law".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, "Self Defense" is not a crime. But you will still be taken to jail for exercising your Rights. So make sure to get the names and numbers of all that oppressed your Rights and Freedoms and spread the details of the crime committed against you to the World.

Illegal digital strip search). Not to be used on children or the elderly, due to skin cancer concerns. And then there was that issue with the machines being set at a higher power, due to a miscalculation in power intensity settings.  ooops.

There are people who owned all their possessions, before partaking in the drug trade. So obviously, the people should never, ever, have to forfeit their possessions.&lt;br /&gt;It's easy money to call any large sum of cash, "proceeds of crime". In the United States, people have been robbed(by the police) of large sums of cash, without the victim(usually immigrants who do not trust banks) even committing any crime. So beware of that $200 dollars in your pocket. You wouldn't want to lose it during an illegal search. As for some odd reason, you must be guilty of some crime to be carrying that much cash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Civil_forfeiture.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Civil_forfeiture.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BCCLA condemns province’s forfeiture scheme as unconstitutional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The BCCLA says that new amendments passed recently by the Province of B.C. to limit, and in some cases entirely avoid, judicial oversight of property seizures likely won’t survive a court challenge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The recently passed Civil Forfeiture Amendment Act allows the province to seize property if an appointed Director has “reason to believe” the property is proceeds or an instrument of crime. The law also says that for property valued at up to $75,000 (other than real estate), it is the owner who has to take the government to court to get his property back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that civil forfeiture laws with judicial oversight may pass constitutional muster,” said Robert Holmes, President of the BCCLA. “But having a bureaucrat confiscate private property on the say-so of a police investigation that wouldn’t even support a criminal prosecution goes too far.  It amounts to the executive usurping the judicial function and a denial of due process.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The amendments were supported by both political parties in the legislature, even though the Solicitor General admitted that there was no public consultation process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“A disturbing trend is developing.  With the new impaired driving and high speed driving suspension laws, and the so-called ‘building’ inspections in communities like Mission, governments are trying to avoid having to prove a case in court,” said Holmes. “Innocent people are being caught up in this new web of bureaucratic decision-making and face losing property and having to pay thousands of dollars in fines without any recourse.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The provincial government argues that the change is justified because only two thirds of property seizures are contested in court by property owners and that providing due process through the justice system costs too much to be worthwhile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“The rule of law requires that government not be allowed to take your belongings without due process,” said Holmes. “Even if one third of forfeiture cases are not contested, that does not mean judicial oversight is unnecessary.  We don’t eliminate criminal trials and throw all accused persons in jail just because some cases result in guilty pleas.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The BC Liberals really need to change their name to the "Totalitarian party".

Or maybe the "BC crime data bank" will get all sorts of recent information on us, the innocent people of British Columbia. Possibly beware of that tiny finger pricked "blood sample" the doctor just needs to take for, ummmmm, something(like an illegal DNA sample for the crime bank)... And if ICBC were to be the one to "take your picture" and be in control of the cards, Would they possibly also have access to your medical history(carecard bills for medical treatments), without warrants? Imagine all your prescriptions being listed on your drivers license secret files with the police and you being stopped constantly via the "automated license plate scanner".... Just wondering...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look to the future to see what one small thing now, can do to totally destroy your Rights in the future. After all, people have allowed impaired driver roadblocks for 30 years. Other than the roadblocks became a way to look for any sign of criminal activity, which is not allowed. So did you enjoy the illegal visual search of your vehicle? Did you actually answer all those illegal questions of where you are going, etc? Did you enjoy being detained for 15 minutes without justification(due to the government allowing the illegal 15 minute detainment)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all criminals, so says the government and police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. And  any "security chip" needs to be a 'contact chip', as RFID(radio frequency identification) is definitely not secure, as it is always transmitting it's data to whoever happens to wander by it(with an easy to build scanner). And it does not matter if it is just a number that interacts with the data base. Identity theft can easily add the rest of the information to go with the number that is constantly transmitting from the RFID.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;If you feel that ICBC is in control of way too much information of yours, contact and file a complaint with Canadas Privacy commissioner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.priv.gc.ca/complaint/index_e.cfm"&gt;http://www.priv.gc.ca/complaint/index_e.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.efc.ca/pages/free-speech/blue-ribbon.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.efc.ca/images/efcfreet.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-2023939192984460055?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2023939192984460055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2023939192984460055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/05/bc-carecards.html' title='bc carecards'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-6011649923488657449</id><published>2011-05-17T18:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-17T18:28:55.853-07:00</updated><title type='text'>civilian oversight of the police maybe</title><content type='html'>Looks promising, but we will see.

The legislation is expected  this afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Two  public inquiries, the Frank Paul (Davies) Inquiry  and the Robert Dziekanski  (Braidwood) Inquiry have recommended that  police no longer investigate  themselves in cases of death or serious  bodily harm or other issues that would  threaten public confidence in  the police.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“We  are very pleased to hear that the province is acting  on these critically  important recommendations,” said Robert Holmes,  President of the BCCLA. “We  expect that this legislation is crafted to  meet the Braidwood Inquiry  recommendations at a minimum, but also hope  the province will consider Chief  Jim Chu’s proposal to expand the  mandate of this body beyond death or serious  harm issues.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The  BCCLA has been advocating for the end of police self  investigation for years.  High profile cases where police negligence in  investigating has been alleged  include the cases of Fred Quilt,  Clayton Alvin Willey, Frank Paul, Robert  Dziekanski, Ian Bush, Kevin  St. Arnaud, and Paul Boyd among others. Key  questions in advance of the  announcement about the composition of this body and  its structure that  have yet to be answered include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will the body investigate both municipal and RCMP  involved deaths and cases of serious harm?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will the body investigate less serious allegations as  recommended by Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will the new body provide recommendations to special  prosecutors, independent of the Criminal Justice Branch?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will the new body enjoy independence from the  legislature?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who will head the new body, will it be a former  prosecutor or police officer or someone independent of the current system?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ICBC also needs to be removed from control of BC's roads and enforcement officers and drivers.&lt;br /&gt;Lets get one thing perfectly clear. Drivers who have an actual history of being a dangerous driver(and not one made up via one minor traffic ticket) would be considered "uninsurable" by open market vehicle insurance companies.  And those truly dangerous drivers, if they could get open market insurance, would be paying such a high premium that they would rather bum a ride or take the bus until enough years had passed that would allow affordable insurance. It is always a strange system where if you do not insure a vehicle in your name every year, that your bad driving history does not lapse(time off your sentence, for good behavior).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine being caught urinating in an alley, as there are no public toilets. Imagine you get a ticket for 'public urination'. Imagine being forced, without a court appearance, to endure 'retraining' seminars, that are designed to correct your life long, filthy habit(humans have never needed to pee in/on anything but a easily available toilet). And that is how ICBC is operating. Convict now and pure profit. What ever happened to a fair trial 'before' conviction. And a 'fair trial' is not a Arbitration Hearing. A fair trial is in front of a real Judge and or Jury, as per your Rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/ICBC+withdraws+contentious+speeding+ticket+proposal/4791898/story.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/ICBC+withdraws+contentious+speeding+ticket+proposal/4791898/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Insurance Corp. of B.C. has withdrawn its proposal that would have seen drivers pay three years of higher premiums after just one traffic violation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The move follows a meeting with the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor-General Shirley Bond, who said that ICBC has been instructed, when developing policy, to ensure it applies a test of “being reasonable — and a hike in premiums for a single speeding ticket is not reasonable.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The proposed changes would have meant that close to 30 per cent of all B.C. drivers — those with at least one of a variety of traffic-related convictions on their recent record — would pay higher premiums for their basic insurance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-6011649923488657449?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6011649923488657449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/6011649923488657449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/05/civilian-oversight-of-police-maybe.html' title='civilian oversight of the police maybe'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-458589673833096353</id><published>2011-05-11T09:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T11:32:37.821-07:00</updated><title type='text'>how are you being tracked</title><content type='html'>Ever wonder how the police and federal authorities are monitoring people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 'automated license plate recognition cameras'. To GPS tracking via your 'smart phone' or even car mounted 'GPS bugs'. To RFID(radio frequency identification device) drivers licenses and passports(and occasionally in universities student ID cards).  And there is also spyware or a trojan on a persons computer(now why did you open that anonymous email that had that attached file that did something?) and even the occasional 'black box' at your ISP(internet service provider) that harvests your data to be able to see what you are doing. The black box is more of a 'national security' type of thing(without proper warrants), but even trouble makers to government(all over the world) have been monitored by one(even Canadas Conservative(republican) government has said they will implement warrantless data collection, which is illegal to do without evidence of a crime committed or to be committed).  Some countries have even made RIM(research in motion) put data centers in those countries in order to decrypt users private communications in order to make sure that people are not planning to spit on the sidewalk at the appointed hour. After all, we are all guilty, because the governments say so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FBI GPS bug(large size).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/05/gps/"&gt;http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/05/gps/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surveillance State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1976541,00.html"&gt;http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1976541,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GPS tracking of your vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2013150,00.html"&gt;http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2013150,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check your car for a GPS tracker bug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Check_Your_Car_for_a_GPS_Tracker"&gt;http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Check_Your_Car_for_a_GPS_Tracker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Various articles on the government GPS tracking devices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://news.google.com/news/more?cf=all&amp;amp;ned=us&amp;amp;topic=t&amp;amp;ncl=dOV4bB3SpnY3L_Mjpv3VrtnrUNvaM"&gt;https://news.google.com/news/more?cf=all&amp;amp;ned=us&amp;amp;topic=t&amp;amp;ncl=dOV4bB3SpnY3L_Mjpv3VrtnrUNvaM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you heard about your Smartphone storing your location data? Also remember that Canada is a puppet under U.S. control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20061472-281.html?part=rss&amp;amp;subj=news&amp;amp;tag=2547-1_3-0-20"&gt;http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20061472-281.html?part=rss&amp;amp;subj=news&amp;amp;tag=2547-1_3-0-20&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple and Google(and Microsoft) keep location files on your Smartphone. Why? The quick and dirty excuse is for your addon applications and those applications needing location data to better serve you. But since Apple kept the data in an unencrypted form, in a much larger than needed file, possibly so the police can better access it to be big Brother all over your innocent ass. You can turn it off for Googles Android and now for Apple as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2011/05/apple_and_google_grilled_by_se.html"&gt;http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2011/05/apple_and_google_grilled_by_se.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your car also has a little black box in it's computer(event data recorder). Just for that accident where you did something that was definitely not an accident(or to prove your innocence, with it's short term data capture).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2087207/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Event_data_recorder"&gt;https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Event_data_recorder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micro flying cameras in the sky? The war on drugs, etc, has created various military hardware that is used to spy on the enemy. And now the general public is also now the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1385566/Aeryon-Scout-The-flying-robot-intelligence-set-replace-CCTV-camera.html"&gt;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1385566/Aeryon-Scout-The-flying-robot-intelligence-set-replace-CCTV-camera.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hummingbird spy camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7357047n"&gt;http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7357047n&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just can't forget the police videoing innocent people at a 'Constitutionally protected" peaceful protest, in order to use that 'digital drivers license' data of the people, to identify subjects for future monitoring(what warrant??? what crime??? what are Rights and Freedoms??? ).&lt;br /&gt;'Facial recognition' cameras, are a dangerous tool used by the police. But the data is just added to your criminal record. Huh?? You know, your criminal record. The one that has various details on you, even though you have never been charged or convicted of a crime. The one that the Government/police keep, in order to predict(or use against) when people spit on the sidewalk. Or maybe you hang out in places that are being monitored for criminal activity. Even though you are protected by the 'Freedom of Association', which means that you can not be declared guilty for associating with  known criminals(criminals on either side of the badge).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The RCMP even have a dedicated branch to monitor the Internet for trouble makers. You know what trouble makers, don't you? Those that seek to expose the corruption of government over innocent peoples lives(there is actually another official reason, but that reason is for the Sheeple though). There even was once this thing called a Constitution. Too bad it has been declared null and void, by what appear to be handpicked Judges who will ignore the multiple parts of the Constitution, in order to decide the case for the Government to be the winner over the what should be our protected Rights and Freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police have 'Thermal imaging cameras' to 'digitally' search peoples homes from the street. You know those cameras that are meant to look for human occupation before a raid(with an actual warrant). But instead are used to search for hot spots in homes, in order to attack innocent people for having a warm room(as opposed to a grow-op). And did you notice that helicopter or plane that is flying low and slow over your somewhat rural areas? Look at that thermal imaging camera on the bottom and the police flying it. Notice that the flight elevation is a violation of minimum flight elevations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you like to post all sorts of intimate details on your social networking sites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20059247-17.html"&gt;http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20059247-17.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FaceBook: The best surveillance tool your government has, to compile data on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*******&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"&gt;&lt;span onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);" class=" down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/charter/1.html"&gt;http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/charter/1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some movies to check out. Some people may say that it is only a movie, but the writers are amazingly able to predict future consequences in our society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Orwell's '1984'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087803/"&gt;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087803/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/"&gt;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"V" for Vendetta.

Simple. But the Sheeple of Canada allow shit to happen to them, without the tiniest bit of "self defense" against the abuse that happens to them on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Mission_class_action.html"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11Mission_class_action.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Class-Action Lawsuit Launched Against District of  Mission’s “Grow Op” Inspections&lt;/h3&gt;            &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The  BCCLA is supporting residents of the District of  Mission who have launched a  class-action lawsuit against the District  for violations of their rights under  the District’s Controlled  Substance Property Bylaw.  The bylaw permits safety inspectors to enter   private homes to look for marijuana grow operations.  However, many  Mission residents have been  found in violation of the bylaw despite  having no marijuana grow operation.  In 2010, the BCCLA made written and  oral  presentations to the Mission District Council about the numerous,  highly  credible reports of exorbitant inspection “fees”, revocation of  occupancy  permits on insufficient or spurious safety grounds, and a  total lack of  procedural fairness at various stages of the  investigatory and hearing  process.  &lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Micheal  Vonn, Policy Director:  “Essentially  residents  in Mission are being charged for having imaginary grow-ops.  “Safety”  inspectors have been declaring homes  “controlled substance properties”  without any credible evidence.  Entirely innocent residents have been  charged  outrageous fees and tarred with the label of drug manufacturer,  without any  effective way to challenge the charge”.  &lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stacy  Gowanlock, Plaintiff in the lawsuit: “The citizens  of Mission have tried for  years to get the District to properly review  these decisions and fix this  program.  We have seen litigation as an   absolute last recourse.  But we can’t  wait any more.  People are  suffering  badly, particularly the elderly and those on fixed incomes.   People have been traumatized and in some cases,  have lost their homes.   It’s clear the  District is not moving on this; so we have to ask the  courts to remedy the  damage.”  &lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The statement of claim for the lawsuit will be filed  today.  The statement notes that the District of  Mission communicated  the false reports of drug activity to third parties including   plaintiffs’ mortgage holders, property insurers and prospective home  purchasers.  The plaintiffs claim  damages for a range of harms  including invasion  of privacy, expenses, lost reputation and diminished  market value of their  homes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And a news article on it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/mission-resident-sues-over-safety-inspections/article2010579/"&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/mission-resident-sues-over-safety-inspections/article2010579/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh looky though, comments disabled for legal reasons. Wow, censorship at it's finest, or is it to stop the shills from posting fake data to the Sheeple of "the searches are legal", instead of the truth of, "that violating peoples Privacy Rights and Constitutional Rights and collecting peoples Hydro usage data, without warrants, is a 100% crime".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: may 15 2011.

Or will the Internet be brought to it's knees in 3 months with all sorts of monitoring logs for the police to routinely look at, without warrants, as you have committed no crime, yet you will be almost treated like a criminal. And can't forget about the Great Firewall of Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The copyright mafia is busy looking to generate revenue on the backs of Canadians, via various fee's coming soon. Oh and you don't even need to purchase anything to pay the fee. Sure sounds like a crime to be charged for a non-existent product. Or maybe someone will hack into your wireless Internet connection to download copyright material and the copyright mafia will cutoff your Internet without any of that legal court stuff(just an accusation for termination) or have your home 'raided' by a private company(copyright mafia) for someone else's crime.

Police in Michigan(and also border crossings and airports) have a little black box that they can connect to your cell phone and download the data out of your phone for, hmmmm, "determining your innocence in all things?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't give up your phone or let it out of your site without getting the officers reason for needing to confiscate your cell phone to deal with a traffic ticket or other minor, unrelated altercation with the police.&lt;br /&gt;And unfortunately, the powers that be, tend to see "electronic devices" as searchable items, while not touching data that is written on paper. But you know what? Our Rights and Freedoms "do" apply to our electronic world, but the government and police don't care about Rights and Freedoms and consider electronic data to be an open market, to be able to illegally search and illegally monitor people with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice in the article how the police are playing a stalling game to prevent release of what should be open public data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one other thing to note. When your laptop or smartphone is taken away for "investigation of innocence", make sure you scan for rootkits or other types of Virus or Trojan. Who knows what they did to your property in the name of Fascism or Totalitarianism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aclumich.org/issues/privacy-and-technology/2011-04/1542"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.aclumich.org/issues/privacy-and-technology/2011-04/1542&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;ACLU Seeks Records about State Police Searches of Cellphones &lt;/h4&gt;  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:&lt;br /&gt;April 13, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DETROIT – The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan urged the  Michigan State Police (MSP) today to release information regarding the  use of portable devices which can be used to secretly extract personal  information from cell phones during routine stops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For nearly three years, the ACLU has repeatedly asked for this  information through dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, but  to date it has not been provided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aclumich.org/sites/default/files/CellebriteLettertoMSP.pdf"&gt;Read our letter to the Michigan State Police&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Transparency and government accountability are the bedrocks of our  democracy,” said Mark P. Fancher, ACLU of Michigan Racial Justice  Project staff attorney. “Through these many requests for information we  have tried to establish whether these devices are being used legally.  It’s telling that Michigan State Police would rather play this stalling  game than respect the public’s right to know.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Several years ago, MSP acquired portable devices that have the  potential to quickly download data from cell phones without the owner of  the cellphone knowing&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ACLU of Michigan expressed concern about the possible constitutional  implications of using these devices to conduct suspicionless searches  without consent or a search warrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In August 2008, the ACLU of Michigan filed its first FOIA request to acquire records, reports and logs of actual use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documents provided in response confirmed the existence of these devices,  but MSP claimed that the cost of retrieving and assembling the  documents that disclose how five of the devices are being used is  $544,680. The ACLU was then asked to pay a $272,340 deposit before the  organization could receive a single document.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to reduce the cost, the ACLU of Michigan narrowed the scope of  its request. However, each time the ACLU submitted more narrow requests,  MSP claimed that no documents exist for that time period and then it  refused to reveal when the devices were used so a proper request could  be made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We should not have to go on expensive fishing expeditions in order to  discover whether police are violating the rights of residents they have  resolved to protect and serve,” said Fancher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to CelleBrite, the manufacturer of at least some of the  devices acquired by MSP, the product can extract a wide variety of data  from cellphones including contacts, text messages, deleted text  messages, call history, pictures, audio and video recordings, phone  details including the phone number and complete memory file dumps on  some handsets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its three-page letter, the ACLU of Michigan explained that the use of  such devices may violate Fourth Amendment protections against  unreasonable searches if a warrant is not issued. In addition, the  organization would like to determine if MSP is disproportionally  downloading the personal information of people of color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the national ACLU took on a similar issue challenging &lt;a href="http://www.aclu.org/free-speech-technology-and-liberty/abidor-v-napolitano"&gt;a federal policy of searching, copying and detaining travelers’ laptops, cell phones and other electronic devices&lt;/a&gt; at airports and the border without suspicion of wrongdoing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/27564088/detail.html"&gt;http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/27564088/detail.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support the BC Civil Liberties Association.

The police have been busy collecting your personal details for their criminal data base.  Since you are so much of a criminal, they need full details on you, to be able to Taser your dangerous ass on site.  Well, more like officers put notes on your "file" and then that can be used against you when the "automated license plate reader" see's your vehicle to be able to pull you over in the name of  Justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the BC Civil Liberties Association....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/news.htm"&gt;http://bccla.org/news.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PDF:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11PRIME_BC.pdf"&gt;http://bccla.org/pressreleases/11PRIME_BC.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;March 22, 2011&lt;br /&gt;For immediate release&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than eight out of every ten BC adults in police database&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The B.C. Civil Liberties Association has discovered that as many as 85% of British Columbia‟s&lt;br /&gt;adult population have “master name records” in the PRIME-BC police database. This database&lt;br /&gt;is used by police to prepare criminal record checks, including the controversial “negative police&lt;br /&gt;contact” section of those checks that can restrict access to jobs or volunteer opportunities. The&lt;br /&gt;BCCLA has written the Solicitor General to ask her to investigate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"With more than eight out of every ten B.C. adults in this database, we're wondering if people&lt;br /&gt;know   what   the   police   are   writing   about  them,"  said  Robert  Holmes,  Q.C.,  President   of   the BCCLA. "These notes by police officers can prevent people from getting jobs, schooling and training, and it is difficult if not impossible to remove or alter incorrect information."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The   most   recent   annual  report   for   PRIMECorp,   the   crown   corporation   that   administers   the database, indicates that the database has 4,452,165 master name records, and B.C.'s entire  population as of October 1, 2010 older than 15 years of age, was estimated by BC Stats to be 3,844,531. Even if as many as a quarter of master name records are duplicates due to aliases, misspellings or out-of-province   residence, 86%   of   the adult  population  of B.C. would   still  be recorded in the database.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While PRIME-BC was introduced in the Legislature as a way to better combat serial killers,&lt;br /&gt;sexual offenders, and career criminals, it would seem that minor traffic violations are enough to&lt;br /&gt;land B.C. residents in the police database, indefinitely.    There is little  in the way of protocol&lt;br /&gt;guiding how entries are  made, how   long   information is kept,  and  the   BCCLA  frequently receives complaints about incorrect information being impossible to alter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What  is  disturbing  is  that  some  information  is  being  recorded  as negative  contact",  said  Holmes.    "Employers assume that   if   you   have negative  contact,   you   have   done   something wrong,  but  it's  just  as  likely  that  you  insisted  on  your  basic  rights  or  that  the  information  is  incorrect.   This   is   not   some   kind   of   philosophical   objection,   this misinformation  is wrongfully keeping people from economic opportunities."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to learn about requesting your information from PRIME-BC and to learn more about&lt;br /&gt;this database:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/privacy/privacy7-13.html"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/privacy/privacy7-13.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click here to read the BCCLA‟s letter to Solicitor General of British Columbia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bccla.org/pressreleases/11Database.pdf"&gt;http://www.bccla.org/pressreleases/11Database.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A free PDF reader.&lt;br /&gt;FoxIt Reader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/"&gt;http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-547167585824396262?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/547167585824396262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/547167585824396262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/04/bc-criminal-data-base-for-non-criminals.html' title='BC criminal data base for non criminals'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-2416750695548518451</id><published>2011-04-13T10:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T11:53:16.132-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ticket quotas</title><content type='html'>An interesting article from Los Angeles. Where two officers sued, after complaining about how there is a ticket quota, that is also combined with their performance reviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-ticket-quotas-20110412,0,2790462.story"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-ticket-quotas-20110412,0,2790462.story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;LAPD officers who complained about ticket quotas are awarded $2 million.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The veteran motorcycle officers alleged in a lawsuit that they were punished with bogus performance reviews, threats of reassignment and other forms of harassment after objecting to demands from commanding officers that they write a certain number of tickets each day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ticket quotas are illegal under state law, since they can pressure  police to write spurious tickets to meet the goal. The line between  setting a quota and pushing officers to increase their productivity is a  delicate one for field supervisors, who are often under pressure  themselves to generate more citations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"We're very hopeful that this will put an end to fleecing motorists on  the west side of Los Angeles," said Benioff's attorney, Gregory Smith.  "Quotas are a direct violation of the vehicle code, and this case was  about these officers being asked to break the law."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And at the end of the article is this line..... Which is something that has unfortunately gone the way of the dinosaur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"You can't violate the law to enforce the law"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the police can bypass the law, if the government or a Judge unjustly modifys the law. You know, for 'safety'.   The "safety" excuse, used to by-pass a multitude of Constitutional and Civil Rights laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example of violating private property laws, is where a police officer parks his vehicle on private property to do a speed trap. The private property could be a mall parking lot or on a more rare occasion, in the mouth of someones driveway(blocking or on the persons property) to hide their vehicle better.  Many people do not realize that a mall/business parking lot is private property. So legally the officer is breaking the law(trespassing) by parking there to do a speed trap, as he probably can not show a permission slip(from mall management) to be able to park there. You've all seen the signs, "parking for 2 hours for patrons of establishment". And then there is that speedtrap on a busy road without shoulders and the officer tries to wave you onto someones private property(on a closed Sunday? or a church lot on the weekday?) to write the ticket. So will you be violating private property to get the ticket or will you be ticketed/arrested for refusing to trespass onto private property?&lt;br /&gt;There have been instances in the past/present where a business gets tired of people parking(filling all parking spaces) in their private lot to go to another business property. So the lot owner then gets a towing company to monitor(park in) the lot on their slack time. Meaning that when the tow truck see's someone illegally park in the lot(walks off the property), the tow truck then hooks up and tows the vehicle away. And that really pisses off illegal parkers to the extreme. Some may call it entrapment for having the tow truck on site, but lets look at the real issue. You parked where you were not allowed too. It is similar to another form of entrapment, where a police officer parks out front of a Pub/Bar in order to stop all vehicles leaving that business. And of course the stop is based on "it's a pub, so no one drinks soda or water at a pub". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever been to a large warehouse where the beer bottles are collected for shipment back to wherever? The employee's all smell like beer, well rotten beer, and imagine them driving home after their shift and getting stopped at a "routine roadblock".  It helps to have a "get out of jail card", otherwise known as, "I work in this type of business, so don't instantly call me a drunk". There have been a few mentions over the years in North America, where officers and their family members are given "ID cards" to show that they have "connections", to prevent punishment for minor things.  And it's up to the roadblock officer to either allow the card or ignore the card, when it comes to drunk drivers or speeders. Well isn't over the limit drunk driving now a minor misdemeanor? It's a $4000 ticket and no instant jail.  It's to bad our legal system has been destroyed by corruption and cost cutting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So have you ever noticed after a two week term of rain, that the police are suddenly out in full force writing many tickets when  dry days finally comes back. Hating the rain falling on your head/hat is no excuse for not writing tickets. Thats what rain gear is for and the side effect is that the inside of the police car gets fogged up from the wet body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All your Internet data belong to police, without warrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5733/125/"&gt;http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5733/125/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;While there are good and bad with each party, the Conservatives new commitment to lawful access - new laws that would establish massive Internet surveillance requirements and the potential disclosure of personal information without court oversight - is incredibly problematic for the Internet, privacy, and online freedoms. It requires real debate yet seems likely to slip under the public radar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For you see, is that since our various Rights and Freedoms don't include the word "Internet", so the police and some scummy Government heads think that warrantless surveillance is legal(which it is not, based on various laws already in force).  During the President G.W. Bush reign of terror in the U.S., the government would routinely monitor peoples "Internet communications", and many ISP's would easily give out user names and data without warrants or Judge orders. Reminds me of BC Hydro giving out users private details on their energy consumption(over 95 Kilowatt hours per day average) data to local towns/cities due to an illegal bylaw that is based on an illegal BC government law for "safety".  You know "safety" is that word used to eliminate peoples Rights and Freedoms to by-pass the legal system of laws and Judges. And of course providing the Judge is ruling based on law and not just due to someone telling him what to rule. In the U.S. some people(or Rich corporations) will shop around for a Judge that will rule in their favor on whatever the case is about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some more links on data mining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/law-enforcement-agencies-vacuum-up-data-online-lack-reporting-procedures/"&gt;http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/law-enforcement-agencies-vacuum-up-data-online-lack-reporting-procedures/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9215554/U.S._can_conduct_offsite_searches_of_computers_seized_at_borders_court_rules"&gt;http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9215554/U.S._can_conduct_offsite_searches_of_computers_seized_at_borders_court_rules&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.efc.ca/pages/free-speech/blue-ribbon.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.efc.ca/images/efcfreet.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-2416750695548518451?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2416750695548518451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/2416750695548518451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/04/ticket-quotas.html' title='ticket quotas'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-5151974221987278595</id><published>2011-03-07T15:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-07T16:26:20.454-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Imaginary marijuana oh so spooky</title><content type='html'>Continuing on the education of excuses that the police will use to pull you over(well other than an illegal roadblock).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chbcnews.ca/Cell+phone+taser+seized+during+drug+search/4397884/story.html"&gt;http://www.chbcnews.ca/Cell+phone+taser+seized+during+drug+search/4397884/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same story, different link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globaltvedmonton.com/Cell+phone+taser+seized+during+drug+search/4397884/story.html"&gt;http://www.globaltvedmonton.com/Cell+phone+taser+seized+during+drug+search/4397884/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So a police officer see's a pickup truck(march 7 2011) with 'rolling around' garbage bags in the back. Officer pulls over the truck and dumdumdum, smells, oh my goodness, "fresh marijuana". So that leads to a 'drug search' of the vehicle. And of course no marijuana, but the person did have a Taser that looks like a fat cell phone. After all, Tasers are a deadly weapon and are not allowed to be used or possessed by civilians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So is this another instance of an officer needing to have his smell receptors checked out by a licensed physician?  Well at least it was not a skunk under a porch, like the one in Quebec.&lt;br /&gt;But probably more like an example of another officer, who doesn't care about peoples Rights and Freedoms and will use any excuse to search for "innocence of the person". After all, we are all guilty until proved innocent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will make an interesting court case. Officer smells non-existant marijuana and the Judge asks, "So officer. Have you been to the doctor yet for your nasal impairment?" And the officer responds puzzled, "ummm, no your Honor, what are you implying?" And the Judge responds with, "charges thrown out, due to the officers impairment, case closed." And hopefully the Taser is destroyed and not kept as a memento somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and, secure your loads. Don't need to have stuff lifting out of the  back of the truck, due to wind uplift, as you drive down the roads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was an article a while back about a Vancouver police officer dealing/selling marijuana, while on and off duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.straight.com/article-319007/vancouver/vancouver-police-officer-charged-trafficking-marijuana-fired-chief"&gt;http://www.straight.com/article-319007/vancouver/vancouver-police-officer-charged-trafficking-marijuana-fired-chief&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Just a few hours ago we arrested one of our own, 31-year-old Constable  Peter Hodson, and charged him along with his co-accused, Oscar Lapitan,  with trafficking marijuana.Hodson is also facing three more charges, including two counts of breach  of trust, one for selling drugs and the other for the illegal use of a  police database. In addition, he was charged with break and enter with  the intent to commit extortion – this charge is connected with  street-level drug trafficking allegations. These offenses happened  between December 4, 2009 and April 20, 2010. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh just another police officer who got busted for drinking and driving also. Too bad BC can't afford to send drunk drivers to jail, for months of jail time. Jail time works so much better than,"Heres a traffic ticket for driving 'over the legal limit' drunk. Now have a nice day. Next customer please."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when Polish Immigrant, 40-year-old Robert Dziekanski of Pieszyce, Poland,  was Tasered to death by the Police at Vancouver BC airport.&lt;br /&gt;oct 2007 news article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2007/10/15/taser-death.html"&gt;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2007/10/15/taser-death.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least we now have new rules, for the use of Tasers by the police. And all it took was another senseless death.&lt;br /&gt;Drunks in lockup will be so upset, to not get a wakeup jolt by a Taser.&lt;br /&gt;The Taser must be treated just like a gun. Both can cause death and using a Taser instead of bum rushing the victim, has consequences. Now wheres all those news articles on police officers in Canada, who commit murder, going to jail for longer than, Never. Well, maybe a couple of months in minimum security prison before full release. Killing has consequences for 'some' people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-5151974221987278595?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5151974221987278595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5151974221987278595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/03/imaginary-marijuana-oh-so-spooky.html' title='Imaginary marijuana oh so spooky'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-226672280570349207</id><published>2011-03-06T19:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T12:13:50.036-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Homeland Insecurity</title><content type='html'>Look how crazy insecurity is getting in North America.&lt;br /&gt;Don't worry Canada, The U.S. would never force your own law enforcement agents to do illegal things to you. But in reality, the Canadian government does what the U.S. government says, or else. So you will be illegally fondled via your genitalia and forced to strip naked for a domestic flight. All in the name of , ?????????, hmmmm, domestic security? Na, that can't be it. All done in the name of, "Bypass the legal system, since people are too stupid and too scared to uphold their Rights and Freedoms, in the face of being assaulted for being 100% innocent of any crime, past, present and future".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/tsa-surveillance-peep-show-police-state-priva"&gt;http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/tsa-surveillance-peep-show-police-state-priva&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;We've heard how if you don't like TSA screenings, then don't fly;  instead take a bus, a train, or drive your car. If gas prices keep  climbing, driving may not be an affordable option in the future. In that  same future, Homeland Security had considered hitting the streets with  TSA airport-like body scanners to covertly peek under your clothes, into  your bags, and even into your vehicles. Whether you call it a police  state, a peep show, or plain old privacy invasion, the increasing  surveillance needs to stop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://epic.org/2011/03/epic-foia---homeland-security.html"&gt;Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) discovered&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;  that the Department of Homeland Security paid contractors "millions of  dollars on mobile body scanner technology that could be used at  railways, stadiums, and elsewhere" on crowds of moving people. EPIC  acquired the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://epic.org/privacy/body_scanners/Body_Scan_FOIA_Docs_Feb_2011.pdf"&gt;173-pages of contracts and reports&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; [PDF] via the Freedom of Information Act.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Homeland Security said it dropped the project, but EPIC lawyer Ginger  McCall called Homeland Security's project "disturbing" because the  "department obviously believed that this level of surveillance is  acceptable when in fact it is not at all acceptable," &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2011-03-04-bodyscans04_ST_N.htm"&gt;USA Today reported&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The article even notes that Homeland Security is denying that they want to randomly take DNA swabs from people. Kind of like how the RCMP want to take swabs for, ummmmm, testing for drugs in your system, when they stop you, 'without just cause', at an illegal RoadBlock. For it would be so simple for the police to take part of the mouth swab for drug testing and then take the DNA part of the swab and put it into Canadas crime computer database.  But the police would probably prefer you don't know that. You know, like how blood samples(past ten years in BC) from new born babies are being kept in a data base(stored) for something or another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Homeland insecurity would also like to setup the full body X-ray machines in various public places that people walk to(Stadiums, bus stations, etc.). There are already about 500 Vans in the U.S. that drive around X-raying vehicles and whatever person gets in the way of the X-ray scan. Yea, X-rays. Don't be fooled into thinking that the X-ray scanner is just a harmless radio wave scan, cause guess what? Your microwave emits radio waves to cook your food.  And with the full body scanners, is children and the elderly are not to go through the machines due to risk of skin cancer. Don't even be fooled by the X-ray operator saying that the machine isn't on, when they tell you to walk through after you get an illegal genital groping, since you refused to go through the machine in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/18012/does_dhs_have_the_authority_to_strip_search_passengers_like_it_claims"&gt;http://blogs.computerworld.com/18012/does_dhs_have_the_authority_to_strip_search_passengers_like_it_claims&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In other news.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2011/03/06/17515746.html"&gt;http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2011/03/06/17515746.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BC is so short on funding and Judges, that many cases will soon be thrown out for 'delay of due process'(also being called prejudice).  But just the minor ones first. And then those people who have waited three years to get to court. Oh wait a minute. People are already getting charges thrown out for 'delay of due process'.  Maybe New BC Premier Christy Clark, can find a few extra bucks to kick into the system. Or maybe just do as her predecessor did and convert many major crimes into misdemeanors, like what was done with drinking and driving legislation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where did about 8 Billion dollars go??????? Oh well, people need new Toll bridges and old bridges getting a toll, And seeing dogs killed that are no longer economically viable, for some reason or another. Oh the Olympics, thats where a bunch of money went too. Vancouver is so much enjoying having bailed out the Olympic village condo's. Eight hundred million dollars, ugggg, spent and the embarrassment that goes along with it. The Olympics is a money losing venture. Breaking even is only a far off hope. And why oh why did Vancouver need to use such an expensive advertising campaign(billions of dollars), for Vancouver tourism, that may or may not increase visits..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;BC's new premier, Christy Clark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christyclark.ca/"&gt;http://www.christyclark.ca/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Support the BC Civil Liberties Association.

The President(Democrat, Barack Obama) and the First Lady of the U.S., can't make a move to help the people, without the RightWing going all crazy over the happenings.&lt;br /&gt;For you see, the RightWing is being controlled by a bunch of extremely wealthy people, who do not care about the lowly people of the U.S..  The RightWing hates regulation that protects the consumer, as that also cuts into very large profits margins that regulations will affect. Massive corporations are even given tax breaks to ship U.S. jobs overseas, causing the loss of workers jobs in the U.S.. The RightWing is also in the process of steering the destruction of workers Unions.  The TeaParty in the U.S. is controlled by the Koch Brothers, who are manipulating the so-called 'grass roots' movement to further the Koch Brothers profit margins. And those Tea Partiers are following along blindly to what Rich People tell them to do, without question of the end result. The end Result, somewhat being, to destroy the poor and middle class and keep the Rich people in power forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RightWingers also hate funding for education and science, in order to keep the people stupid and therefor easier to control.&lt;br /&gt;Religious grounds are used to also destroy Womens Rights over their own bodies(standard abortion and also life saving abortion) and to prohibit "same sex" marriages.&lt;br /&gt;Stem Cell research is considered as 'the devil' and is therefor targeted to deny funding for it. But without Stem Cell research, the human population is doomed to errors in the bodies DNA code that can cause all sorts of cancers and degenerative body conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who have noticed, the Republicans like war and supplying weapons to various countries to steer those countries into the Western way of doing things. Israel still continues to further invade other peoples land(by death of the landowner in some cases), by U.S. orders and protections.  The 'Great Wall'(like Germany's old wall) is just a backwater thought by many, but should be a mandate to keep both sides from the constant conflicts. Borders were drawn out many years ago, but are not being enforced by 'all' world powers(the U.S. has a very powerful veto on what the rest of the world says).&lt;br /&gt;Notice all the protests in the Middle East. Some leaders were placed by the U.S.(Hosni Mubarak, Saddam Hussein(CIA)), and other leaders were created in opposition of the U.S.(&lt;span style="" id="search"&gt;Muammar Gaddafi).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, will cost the U.S. about 2 trillion dollars. And whatever it also costs those countries that support the U.S..&lt;br /&gt;Countries need to remain neutral and not just rush in to support what can be called a terrorist act of aggression by a Republican controlled U.S. government.&lt;br /&gt;The deaths of civilians in Iraq is about 120,000 people.&lt;br /&gt;The CIA in the U.S., over the years has manipulated various World governments to put in power a person who will blindly follow U.S. orders. And that is now biting the U.S. in the ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr/fox-news-will-not-be-moving-into-canada-after-all_b_829473.html"&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr/fox-news-will-not-be-moving-into-canada-after-all_b_829473.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As America's middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades -- against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News -- fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canada regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada's right wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast....any false or misleading news." The provision has kept Fox News and right wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987. Political dialog in Canada is marked by civility, modesty, honesty, collegiality, and idealism that have pretty much disappeared on the U.S. airwaves. When Stephen Harper moved to abolish anti-lying provision of the Radio Act, Canadians rose up to oppose him fearing that their tradition of honest non partisan news would be replaced by the toxic, overtly partisan, biased and dishonest news coverage familiar to American citizens who listen to Fox News and talk radio. Harper's proposal was timed to facilitate the launch of a new right wing network, "Sun TV News" which Canadians call "Fox News North."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Harper, often referred to as "George W. Bush's Mini Me," is known for having mounted a Bush like war on government scientists, data collectors, transparency, and enlightenment in general. He is a wizard of all the familiar tools of demagoguery; false patriotism, bigotry, fear, selfishness and belligerent religiosity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Harper's attempts to make lying legal on Canadian television is a stark admission that right wing political ideology can only dominate national debate through dishonest propaganda. Since corporate profit-taking is not an attractive vessel for populism, a political party or broadcast network that makes itself the tool of corporate and financial elites must lie to make its agenda popular with the public. In the Unites States, Fox News and talk radio, the sock puppets of billionaires and corporate robber barons have become the masters of propaganda and distortion on the public airwaves. Fox News's notoriously biased and dishonest coverage of the Wisconsin's protests is a prime example of the brand of news coverage Canada has smartly avoided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More on this from june 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gawker.com/#%215564364/canada-to-get-its-very-own-fox-news"&gt;http://gawker.com/#!5564364/canada-to-get-its-very-own-fox-news&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And some information on the Fox style tactics to try and discredit the Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/sun-tv-news-aka-fox-news-north-sue-avaaz-video-2662494.html"&gt;http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/sun-tv-news-aka-fox-news-north-sue-avaaz-video-2662494.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/canada_campaign_response"&gt;http://www.avaaz.org/en/canada_campaign_response&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en"&gt;http://www.avaaz.org/en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How State Republican Governments in the U.S. are being used to destroy Unions and to 'create' public Hate for Union people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politicususa.com/en/koch-brothers-teachers"&gt;http://www.politicususa.com/en/koch-brothers-teachers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if we can only make sure that Canadian News Outlets stop self  censorship.

You need to know the proper standards that are used to test noise.&lt;br /&gt;Objects around the test can cause echo's washing back over the test, possibly resulting in a higher noise level being shown. Objects like other vehicles or concrete curbs or planters or buildings that can cause noise to sound increased.&lt;br /&gt;The other portion is there needs to be a "current noise base level" of the surrounding area. Meaning other traffic, birds and variable noise objects.&lt;br /&gt;And the test unit is not to be placed practically at the tailpipe. There is a set distance away, for the unit to be placed before the reading is taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.edmontonjournal.com/technology/Edmonton+motorcyclist+noisy+bike+ticket+quashed/4303380/story.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.edmontonjournal.com/technology/Edmonton+motorcyclist+noisy+bike+ticket+quashed/4303380/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;EDMONTON - An Edmonton motorcyclist who was facing a $250 ticket for having a noisy bike had the infraction quashed in court Thursday because testing on his Yamaha 650 wasn’t done properly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“I have difficulties with the ways the testing was done,” Commissioner William Andrew said in his decision that dismissed Stuart Young’s ticket.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The ruling could set a precedent for motorcyclists who have been ticketed as a result of a controversial city bylaw that imposes measurable limits on noisy motorcycles, restricting them to a maximum of 92 decibels when idling and 96 decibels when operated above idle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;......noted that evidence presented about the testing done on Young’s bike deviated from accepted standards set out by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if your vehicle has a stock exhaust from the manufacturer and you get a noise reading that is above the so-called legal noise limit(which may be artificially low to kick your vehicle out of town), discuss the ticket with the manufacturer, for their response before your challenge court date. Since the stock exhaust must of been legal to sell in North America, otherwise the Government would of not allowed the sale of the unit based on various parameters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An issue can be where someone has removed the stock exhaust and put a different exhaust on, that gives a more gutsy rumble(motorcycles/cars/trucks).  But why are these so-called illegal(above a noise limit) exhausts allowed to be sold? Maybe the police are not targeting noise, but instead are trying to remove undesirable people(as the police and local governments call it). It is like where the homeless have their stuff taken by the city, but the homeless can get their stuff back if they pay a fine and storage fees on their stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Edmonton by-law states, 92 decibels at idle and 96 decibels when above idle(test keeps engine revved at 2,000rpm). The motorcycle in the article was found to be at 100.3 decibels at above idle. And the ticket was for $250.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another article on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globaltoronto.com/Ticketed+bikers+raising+racket/3989556/story.html"&gt;http://www.globaltoronto.com/Ticketed+bikers+raising+racket/3989556/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article says the noise reading machine cost nearly $20,000. And via the bylaw, is being used to target motorcycles only at the moment, as of July 1 2010. So why is no other vehicle being 'tested'?  Discrimination is a word being tossed about.&lt;br /&gt;Half of the 115 tickets that were handed out in the summer of 2010 are being challenged. And if they are also thrown out, for faulty testing practices, well it's going to be a expensive campaign to try to get rid of Bikers(under the guise of the motorcycles are to loud).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moral of the story? Exercise your Rights to be free from Discrimination. Otherwise everyone will eventually have their Rights and Freedoms taken away, when people forget about their Rights and Freedoms ever having existed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A generation or two, have already been brainwashed to think that Roadblocks are legal, when RoadBlocks are a punishable crime that is being 'allowed' by a Judge.&lt;br /&gt;The RoadBlock is still being used to look for signs of crime(non-traffic), even though Judges have already ruled that the police are not allowed to 20 question you and not allowed to visually search your vehicle, but it still happens anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not a free society. So open your eyes and look around. It's amazing what you can see, when you observe the abuse that people are subjected to everyday, in the name of 'safety'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" alt="Join the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" align="middle" border="0" height="41" width="150" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-730079531543326171?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/730079531543326171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/730079531543326171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/02/vehicle-noise-testing.html' title='vehicle noise testing'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-9008274703186955620</id><published>2011-02-16T10:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-19T09:26:17.183-08:00</updated><title type='text'>police of washington state can murder with no charge</title><content type='html'>Washington State law says the police of Washington State can murder with no criminal charges being filed for murder.&lt;br /&gt;The Law/Legislation is designed to allow the police to use deadly force, without facing a trial based on 'justification of the shooting'. There are various reasons for the flawed law, such as the officer was in danger from the suspect or the suspect was shown to be a danger to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Washington State homeless Native woodcarver(John T. Williams) was walking down the street and an officer(Ian Birk) with in-car camera and sound, see's the wood carver walking across the intersection, with a small foldable carving knife(carving? But the knife after the murder was proved to be actually closed) on some wood.  The officer then stops his patrol car and struts like the 'cock of the walk' towards the carver and then 7 seconds later opens fire(out of camera shot) with 5 bullets. The wood carver dies. Even the woman using the crosswalk, flinched when the officer suddenly shot the wood carver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Washington State Prosecutor refuses to lay murder charges, since Washington State law prevents that from happening. So unless an officer walks up to someone and puts a gun to their head and pulls the trigger(with malice), with the person showing no danger, the police officers can not be charged with the crime of murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police officer had already gone through a small trial, for the courts to prove(via Jury) if the officer was justified in the murder. And of course a Jury dealing with a police officer's crime, is probably frightened of the police and may not decide 100% that the officer was indeed guilty. So the jury was somewhat split on saying that the officer was indeed guilty of murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The officer during the preliminary trial, had facial expressions that looked very much like he thinks that he is untouchable. After all, by the way of some peoples thinking is, it's only a homeless Native. And the police tend to hate the homeless. And even various levels of government hate the homeless. Our society is degrading so fast and those that are homeless are treated like crap. Some cities will do things to force the homeless to move on to another town or at least push them into the woods or under overpasses. And then the goon squad(police/by-law officers) gets sent in by the city to "cleanup" those areas that the homeless are in, to make them move on again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Seattle police department will probably fire him at the most. And at the least, he would get slapped with a reprimand and retrained(just like Canada). Many murders get to rot in jail for at least two years, so why do police officers get treated with such compassion?&lt;br /&gt;Ian Birk Quit the Seattle police force, after the announcement that he would not be charged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kirotv.com/news/26880597/detail.html"&gt;http://www.kirotv.com/news/26880597/detail.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;February 16, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;SEATTLE -- King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg says he won't file charges against Seattle police Officer Ian Birk in the shooting death of Native American woodcarver John T. Williams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Satterberg has told reporters gathered for a news conference that state law gives protection to police against criminal charges when it comes to the use of deadly force.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The law -- RCW 13.32A.070 -- says that "A law enforcement officer acting in good faith pursuant to this chapter is immune from civil or criminal liability for such action."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"What the state would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt is that the officer was not telling the truth, that he did not really feel like he was in danger and that when he ... exited his car to go encounter this individual, he had every intent to kill him no matter what," Satterberg said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The officer(shown in the video), did walk up to John T. Williams, like the officer was indeed going to cause trouble.&lt;br /&gt;After all, other officers in Seattle have been shown on camera stomping people and getting away without assault charges being laid and the officers do not get fired for their crime.&lt;br /&gt;In some States, officers actually get fired or jailed for their crimes. It's too bad that North American(Canada/U.S.A.) politicians are so weak in making sure that all officers have to abide by the Peoples Laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and those officers that do abide by the Law? Well they can get abused(by other police or the prosecutor) for ratting out other officers. But hey, Stand up for Justice and don't let the System try to make you quit and cower down, for fear of being 'damaged' by the System.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can obviously hear 5 gun shots in the video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8RD4C8WFU&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8RD4C8WFU&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-9008274703186955620?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/9008274703186955620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/9008274703186955620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/02/police-of-washington-state-can-murder.html' title='police of washington state can murder with no charge'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-6594894227875417954</id><published>2011-02-14T23:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T00:30:58.278-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Highway of DNA</title><content type='html'>Now this is disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;RCMP in the Prince George BC area, are more or less forcing cab drivers to provide DNA samples, to make the cab drivers, "not a suspect", in the disappearance of  many Women on the 'highway of tears'.&lt;br /&gt;The article does not say how many other people have been scared into providing samples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/938866--highway-of-tears-murder-probe-asks-cabbies-for-dna?bn=1"&gt;http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/938866--highway-of-tears-murder-probe-asks-cabbies-for-dna?bn=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Every cab driver in the city has been told by the RCMP that providing a  DNA sample would eliminate them as a suspect or person of interest in  the investigation, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Toronto Star&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; has learned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article says the Cabbys fingerprints were also collected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/police-collecting-cabbies-dna-in-highway-of-tears-probe/article1907365/"&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/police-collecting-cabbies-dna-in-highway-of-tears-probe/article1907365/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/Police+demand+samples+from+taxi+drivers/4283889/story.html"&gt;http://www.vancouversun.com/Police+demand+samples+from+taxi+drivers/4283889/story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And unfortunately, almost all of the Cabby's submitted DNA samples, in order to prove their innocence.

She, for some reason, has raspberries and that caused an automatic stop. She is then strip searched in a small locked cell of a room(according to the articles PDF, she had panties and a camisole on during the search). One of the two female U.S. border guards doing the search, then heavily "fondled" the womans breasts(even twisting nipples) and also "fondled"(get intimate) aggressively the womans crotch area(pushing panties up into genitalia and penetration is called RAPE), while the other female officer watched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for all this enhanced illegal searching? The border guards use a little excuse of, "the person is residing in the U.S. illegally", so the person is then treated like an illegal and "documented"(pictures and prints) for the crime files of the U.S.  She was then sent back into Canada after many hours of being terrorized. Yes, Terrorized. Domestic terrorism is actually done on a daily basis by those that are supposed to be responsible for enforcing Laws and not breaking them, to intimidate and harass and terrorize innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An obvious "sexual assault" happened. But due to the G.W. Bush "martial law" that still exists in the U.S.(and to a certain degree in Canada, by U.S. order), the border guards will probably just get a reprimand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/detroit/canadian-woman-files-federal-lawsuit-claiming-she-was-groped-at-the-ambassador-bridge"&gt;http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/detroit/canadian-woman-files-federal-lawsuit-claiming-she-was-groped-at-the-ambassador-bridge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PDF of lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://media2.wxyz.com/html/pdf/lorettavanbeeklawsuit.pdf"&gt;http://media2.wxyz.com/html/pdf/lorettavanbeeklawsuit.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A comment post from the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The officers at the bridge and tunnel need 'probable cause' to  strip search anyone..and some undeclared raspberries doesn't warrant  that kind of treatment!! Let's all keep in mind that the U.S. officers  at the bridge/tunnel, for years now, have taken things way overboard  numerous times (documented)..unfortunately, there's no oversight for the  officers at the border and they're allowed to do whatever they want,  whenever they want and not have to answer to anyone for their  actions..for all intents...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1355743/Strip-searched-woman-sues-genitals-groped-fails-disclose-raspberries-border.html"&gt;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1355743/Strip-searched-woman-sues-genitals-groped-fails-disclose-raspberries-border.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what happens when you let the Wolves guard the Sheep. No accountability is being enforced. All in the name of National Security.&lt;br /&gt;The woman is suing for the U.S. fourth amendment Rights(to be secure from unreasonable search and seizure).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Airports are even worse, with the body scanner X-Ray machine. An update on those machines. New software is being used that only shows a stick figure of the victim, on a small monitor next to the X-Ray machine. But that new software may be a 'dual image' program, that is designed to make the people think that they are no longer being shown naked. But the software may still be sending a naked image to the same little room as before. The machines do have the capability to store images and also send them to other places via the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;Yet no charges are being charged against the airport security guards for stripping(pants down, shirt up) and possibly fondling underage children(the occasional news article of the parent not being allowed to accompany the child and security guard to the strip search room). No charges are being laid for fondling genitalia areas of adults. Whats wrong with the victims, that they are not either 'trying' to make a airport police officer make an arrest of the security guard, or at least filing a lawsuit to get these criminals into jail(or halfway house) for a couple of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support the BC Civil Liberties Association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bccla.org/"&gt;http://bccla.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G.W. Bush can no longer enter Switzerland(and a couple of other countries) without possibly being arrested for authorizing torture of many people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/05/us-bush-torture-idUSTRE7141CU20110205"&gt;http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/05/us-bush-torture-idUSTRE7141CU20110205&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Canada? The next time G.W. Bush tries to enter Canada, When are you going to enforce anti-torture laws and arrest and jail G.W. Bush and or his henchmen?(such as Bush's VP and other Republican government gods of war).&lt;br /&gt;Canada needs to stop supporting(with fake U.N. designation) the 'Republican agenda' of invading other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eff.org/br"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.eff.org/br/brstrip.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779969081003195877-5994725553596952270?l=roadblockbc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5994725553596952270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6779969081003195877/posts/default/5994725553596952270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roadblockbc.blogspot.com/2011/02/sexual-assault-border-groping-at.html' title='sexual assault border groping at the Ambassador Bridge to the states'/><author><name>anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779969081003195877.post-1662256154502920687</id><published>2011-02-02T14:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-02T23:31:16.370-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Automatic license plate recognition</title><content type='html'>Interesting. A vehicle was traveling on the Hwy 1 near Tappen BC(near Salmon Arm) on January 24 2011. Officer pulls over a vehicle for the reason of, "the vehicle was not displaying an "L" tag for learner drivers".&lt;br /&gt;So the officer must of ran the plate while the car was moving, by either reading the plate by eye and calling it in, or maybe Salmon Arm has a ALPR(automatic license plate recognition) unit. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENGY1CD9y_4"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENGY1CD9y_4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how did the officer know that the car needed a "L" card?  Has ICBC put a note on the license plate somehow?(driver was a 63 year old Vancouver man). Or has ICBC tagged all insured license plates that belong to the address, that the "learner driver" resides in? Or even if the car was insured by a driver with a learners permit?  Sure seems like "profiling", which is a crime to accuse, based on, in this case, the vehicle somehow needing to have an "L" card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chbcnews.ca/cocain
