The surveillance state needs your help again-
Fusion centers, war on terror crime fighting tactics, license plate scanners, radar devices that peer inside homes, Homeland Security grant money, bulk collection of phone records, monitoring of e-mails, text messages, and social media sites, tracking of cell phones, use of drones, etc. are of no use in determining the whereabouts of a level two sex offender with multiple felony warrants for theft, identity theft, and drugs.
No matter how advanced the surveillance state becomes- it doesn’t seem to be able to prevent the sorts of crimes that concern communities across America.
If the fugitive was a terrorist- he would have been stopped in the planning stages–
This is what we are supposed to believe about how America is protected by fusion centers.
If the good guys can tell what the bad guys will do before they do it- surely, these powerful crime fighting tools will be used to shut down gang and cartel activity, heroin trafficking, bank robberies, child abduction, etc.
