How police track your driving

114. It doesn't matter if the New Generation Gives a shit about Government Intrusion...

...and the erosion of our RIGHTS.
I DO!
..and thank gawd my fathers and grandfathers, and their fathers did too.
They WILL come to appreciate it,
or come to regret it if you have your way.

Again, I am stunned that any legitimate member of DU would try so hard to discount this concern,
but I'm NOT stunned that YOU do.

I am NOT OK with the government tracking my movements, and keeping files on my travels.
I used to be free to travel about the USA,
go where I wished,
and associate with whomever I chose without that concern.
I can no longer do so.

This WILL have a suppressing effect on any who wish to legally protest our Government's actions!
*Keystone Pipeline Protesters are already being labeled "terrorists" in the Right Wing Media.

*The police engaged in preemptive arrests of "possible" troublemakers in Minneapolis in 2008, who were then released without charges.

*OWS was targeted by nationally Co-ordinated, violent Militarized Police Suppression last year.

I do NOT trust our government to keep files on MY movements around the USA.
The Police are free to observe my actions in public for evidence of crimes.
The are NOT free to track my movements, and keep files on where I go and what I do.
THAT is protected by the 4th Amendment, among others.

It is NOT a little thing.
It IS a BIG step Over-the-Line!
