“I SPY” FOR COPS



You’ve heard about Federal agents flying around in small planes equipped with high-definition cameras and mock cell towers, spying on suspected terrorists and drug peddlers.  Now, local cops are into the game as well.  Using “StingRay” devices about the size of a suitcase, they are able to set up dummy cell towers virtually anywhere and within minutes they are listening in to cell phone conversations of their suspects; it the process, they are also enabled to listen into to innocent conversations of innocent people, and without a warrant. 

COMMENTS:
Gone are the days of peeping through a door keyhole or bugging a bedside lamp.  What with drones, phony cell towers, high definition cameras and other high-tech gear being used by the Feds and cops, I guess this would be a good time for me to burn my Obama toilet paper. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. There’s been some suggestion that violent criminals be implanted with a chip that can be tracked by GPS in the event of their escape.  How do you feel about that?  (Haley ~ Napa, CA)
A. Why not require everyone to be implanted with a chip so they cannot lie about their identity?  Then, you can get rid of credit and debit cards as well; just put their information onto the chips that can be read in any store.  Such chips could also send out signals when kids cut school, drivers speed or spouses cheat.  We have the technology, so why not just do it?  We could even implant politicians so that we know when they are telling a lie.  How Orwellian do we want to get? 

Q. Obama says he is disgusted that Congress has not advanced his gun control legislation.  Do you think Congress will try to take action?  (Rudy ~ Camp Verde, AZ)
A. I frankly do know from day to day what this Congress is going to do.  I do know that Obama disgusts me in every way and on every day.  Not once… not once… has he ever tried to bring this country together.  If he was so damned concerned about gun violence, don’t you think he’d be trying to get at the root causes of it instead of simply attacking the symptoms? 

Q. Do you think Michelle Obama might actually try and run for the presidency?  (Rusty ~ Davenport, CA)
A. Yep.  Word has it that she’s eyeing Hillary’s vulnerabilities right now.
