The police state continues to grow. NYPD is violating everyone’s 4th Amendment rights with their use of “virtual pat downs.”
NELinksW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The NYPD is stepping up their war against illegal guns, with a new tool that could detect weapons on someone as they walk down the street.
But is it violating your right to privacy?
Police, along with the U.S. Department of Defense, are researching new technology in a scanner placed on police vehicles that can detect concealed weapons.
“You could use it at a specific event. You could use it at a shooting-prone location,” NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez on Tuesday.
It’s called Terahertz Imaging Detection. It measures the energy radiating from a body up to 16 feet away, and can detect anything blocking it, like a gun.
…Police Commissioner Kelly said the scanner would only be used in reasonably suspicious circumstances and could cut down on the number of stop-and-frisks on the street.
Question is, How easy would it be to make a vest that conceals body energy? Terahertz radiation cannot penetrate metal or water, so seems concealment is still an option.
Obama has provided us with an answer to your query: “Why try to hide something if you’ve got nothing to hide”.
[...] I published a story yesterday about the NYPD, and the Department of Defense, using new body scanners to conduct “virtual frisks” on the citizens of New York using Terahertz Imaging Detection. These new scanners use terahertz waves to detect if someone may be carrying a weapon. MIT published information that shows these waves can tear apart DNA. [...]
