License plate scanners and the IRS?

"The Internal Revenue Service and other U.S. agencies awarded about $415,000 in contracts to a license plate-tracking company before Homeland Security leaders dropped a plan for similar work amid privacy complaints."

So now since the hue and cry against local .GOV's use of the technology, the IRS steps up and will do it anyway to take the heat off of the local LEO's.

Could this rogue agency get any further off of it's actual job?

“Especially with the IRS, I don’t know why these agencies are getting access to this kind of information,” said Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based privacy-rights group. “These systems treat every single person in an area as if they’re under investigation for a crime -- that is not the way our criminal justice system was set up or the way things work in a democratic society.”

What happened to our Fourth and Fifth Amendment Rights?  Why does the IRS even NEED this technology?

.GOV Demands Internet Companies turn over User Passwords.

"The U.S. government has demanded that major Internet companies divulge users' stored passwords, according to two industry sources familiar with these orders, which represent an escalation in surveillance techniques that has not previously been disclosed."

Excuse me?  Have any of those users committed a crime?  Do you have a valid Warrant or Indictment?  Then you have NO REASON to make that demand.

Just another rape of our Constitutional Rights by a government that is trying to destroy our rights and turn us all into obedient little drones.

Obama wants the Federal Government to overstep

it's Constitutional Authority AGAIN!!!


"Today, according to reports, Obama may continue his evolution on gay marriage and fight to deny California voters the right to settle this issue at the ballot box. NBC's Pete Williams reports that Obama's Justice Department will file a brief arguing that California's constitutional amendment establishing marriage as a union between one man and one woman violates the federal constitution. "Specifics — including the breadth of the administration's argument — remain unknown, although a brief should be filed later Thursday," reports Buzzfeed's Chris Geidner."

Flip flopping from his previous statements say that the matter of Same sex marriage is a States Rights issue.  Now he is having his DOJ interfere in a State's Law, which has been voted upon by the voters of that state.

Just one more tie that binds the Constitution.
