Electric Shock Handcuffs, Biometric Glasses and Audio Surveillance on Public TransportationSusanne Posel, Contributor According to their announcement: This technology enables applications with a broad range of pixel number and sizes, such as a one pixel, fully covered contact lens acting as adaptable sunglasses, or a highly pixilated contact lens display. Although the technology is in its infancy, it is expected in the near future that fully autonomous electronic contact lenses would be used for medical purposes as well as enhanced for commercial use. Other inventionssuch as the Apparatus and System for Augmented Detainee Restraint are more menacing. These futuristic handcuffs are configured to administer electrical shocks when certain predetermined conditions occur. The patentfor this device also can engage a substance delivery system wherein the detainee could be injected with a vaccine or a liquid, a gas, a dye, an irritant, a medication, a sedative, a transdermal medication or transdermal enhancers such as dimethyl sulfoxide, a chemical restraint, a paralytic, a medication prescribed to the detainee, and combinations thereof. The 2012 Design Challengecompetition in Los Angeles displayed futuristic drone cars that could be used by law enforcement replacing current highway patrol cars by 2025. In fact, all the designers who attended the auto show competition (BMW, Honda, Subaru and General Motors) produced drone technology in a conceptual form where autonomously controlled vehicles would empower highway patrol officers to meet new demands and effectively both protect and serve the public while considering not just enforcement needs but emission concerns, population growth and transportation infrastructure. AutoNOMOS Labs have developed an iPad app that allows users to order their car to drive. After a few modifications, the technology can control the car through the brain of the driver. A software program called BrainDriverinterprets and records information just as an EEG which can be understood and translated into intentions which are then played out by the vehicle. The Department of Homeland Security is actively seeking wireless IP Mesh transceivers that would allow law enforcement to secretly send video and digital data within mobile networks that would be virtually undetectable. The solicitation described the necessity for products that could integrate video encoding schemes, audio technologies such as land mobile radios, GPS and other locating technologies. We have been slowly acclimated to accept being video surveilled on public buses for quite some time now, with the recordings being viewed in real time by dispatch and monitoring for violent acts. Now several cities are enabling sophisticated audio surveillance technologyon public transit buses. The beta-testing cities are: This obvious intrusion into the privacy of passengers is justified by law enforcement in conjunction with the DHS for the purpose of this project is to replace the existing video surveillance systems in San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agencys (SFMTA) fleet of revenue vehicles with a reliable and technologically advanced system to increase passenger safety and improve reliability and maintainability of the system. Those cities are receiving federal grants to the tune of several millions of taxpayers dollars to be spent on Big Brother surveillance systems. In effect, those who live under this tyranny are also literally paying for it. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.
