US Police Departments Using Spy Rocks to Spy on Citizens Now (Yes. Thats right. Spy rocks.)By Melissa Melton Yes. Exactly as it sounds. Spy rocks. Fake rocks with tiny cameras inside. If it sounds like a lame episode of Inspector Gadget, thats because it is like that, only this is real life, modern day Surveillance State USA. Via The Guardian: There were a couple of rocks on Carmi Pelegs table, next to a small drone, but he did not really want to talk about them. Of course, they werent really rocks, but spy cameras, because this was the Border Security Expo, a surreal annual trade fair where surveillance companies flirt with US government officials in hopes of cashing in on the border technology bonanza. They use [them] in police departments in the US, Peleg said of his rock-cameras. A lot of stuff. But thats the only thing I can tell, he said. His company innoBots also sells drones and robots that fit inside backpacks. Freaking SPY ROCKS. (Sorry, Im still not over it.) No wonder Peleg didnt want to talk about the fact that he works for a company that actually makes and supplies spy rocks for American police departments. What a job. What an existence. Gee. Exactly how constitutional is a spy rock, I wonder? (How sad is it that I live in a country and a world where I have to wonder that?) Then again, the answer is a forgone conclusion. This is the same country where at least 50 of our law enforcement agencies including the FBI and the Marshals Service quietly began using radar technologya couple years back that allows agents to seethrough the walls inside our homes without a warrant. Then, when USA Today reports on it, the article includes lines like, The technology raises legal and privacy issues because the U.S. Supreme Court has said officers generally cannot use high-tech sensors to tell them about the inside of a persons house without first obtaining a search warrant. Does it sound like legal and privacy issues are being raised to you? More like laws and privacy are being straight up violated. But is anyone actually doing anything about it? No. Were all used to it now. Edward Snowdens repeated revelations have killed any real outrage. Were acclimated. Accustomed. Hell, we live in a country where We the People are so spied upon every moment that our law enforcement agencies have deployed everything from drones to actual, literalspy rocksagainst us. Spy rocks, ladies and gentlemen. Thats the level we are at here in Amerika with a k. Spy rocks. By the way, did they have spy rocks in George Orwells 1984, you know, the fiction novel which is clearly being used in this country as an instruction manual?
