Leave it to a company that collects more than 150 million plate reads per month to bring public surveillance to our front door.
Rekor Systems “Open ALPR program” will allow homeowners to turn their video doorbells into license plate readers.
A Rekor Systems press release revealed their plans to turn 22 million smart homes into neighborhood license plate reader networks.
“Research firm Berg Insight reports that 63 million American homes will qualify as ‘smart’ by as early as 2022. With the launch of our downloadable and cloud-based products, anyone can access affordable license plate reading in minutes — as well as obtaining access to advanced machine learning vehicle recognition that provides make, model and body type through our CarCheck API and Watchman,” said Robert Berman, President and CEO, Rekor.

Rekor Systems is going to great lengths to turn smart homes into neighborhood license plate reader networks.
To entice suburban residents, it’s offering a steep price drop — from the $50 a month it charges businesses and law enforcement agencies to $5 a month, less than the price of a newspaper subscription.
Rekor Systems also allows your neighbor to identify a limited number of vehicles for $99, $395 or $1995 a month.
Apparently, using police ALPRs to grid entire neighborhoods is not enough for Rekor Systems.
Part of the training for the ALPR systems, Chandler police officers are taught to “grid” neighborhoods during their downtime – systematically driving up and down every street in an area, indiscriminately scooping up information on vehicles.
With “Watchman Home”, a homeowner could record their neighbor’s comings and goings in real-time and send them to Rekor Systems and law enforcement.
According to an article in WKYC Studios, consumers are using Open ALPR to find out when their children are home.
“[Consumers] use it for everything. To find out when their children are home. Some have second homes. they’re a couple hours away and they want to know who is on their property,” said Robert Berman, CEO of Rekor, offering examples of how his software is used.
Robert Berman’s claim that ALPR’s are being used to tell when someone’s children are home is almost as ludicrous as former NSA Director, James Clapper denying that the NSA was spying on Americans.
A CNET article revealed that homeowners could use Open ALPR to blacklist, racially profile or blackmail their neighbors.
Watchman uses a whitelist/blacklist system, allowing customers to log plate numbers for cars that are approved to be near their homes or to warn them when a vehicle has been flagged as a potential threat is near.
CNET went on to say that ALPRs have been used to racially profile and blackmail people.
No longer are blacklists relegated to law enforcement and corporations, because with Open ALPR your video doorbell will allow neighbors to secretly blacklist African Americans, Hispanics and Muslims from the comfort of their living rooms.
CNET also warned that ALPRs allow people to “see patterns of movement” of their neighbors.
“Even with just one ALPR set up in front of your house, it is enough to be able to learn about people — to see their patterns of movement, when they come down your street, at what time, what cars they drive — which is information that can be used to infer incredibly personal things about a person,” Matthew Guariglia, an Electronic Frontier Foundation policy analyst said.
Last year I wrote about three ALPR corporations that, when combined, have created a mind-boggling database of 14 billion license plates. That database will continue to expand especially now that Rekor Systems wants to create neighborhood license plate networks.

Turning video doorbells into neighborhood license plate reader networks threatens everyone’s privacy.

activistpost--2020-02-04--US Government Wants to Ban Encryption in the Name of Protecting Children

In the name of protecting the children , U.S. lawmakers and the Department of Justice want to ban end-to-end encryption , opening Internet users to a host of attacks on their privacy by not only the government but also malicious hackers .
Attorney General William Barr is claiming he wants to protect the children , but his former law firm , Kirkland & Ellis , protected Jeffrey Epstein—one of the most serial child sex traffickers .

“ However , increasingly , this evidence is being encrypted .
We all recognize that encryption @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protect consumers like us from cybercriminals , but now , we ’ re seeing military-grade encryption being marketed on consumer products like cellphones and social media platforms and messaging services , and that means that we can not get access to this data .

In the name of protecting the children, U.S. lawmakers and the Department of Justice want to ban end-to-end encryption, opening Internet users to a host of attacks on their privacy by not only the government but also malicious hackers.
Attorney General William Barr is claiming he wants to protect the children, but his former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, protected Jeffrey Epstein—one of the most serial child sex traffickers. And it turns out Barr’s own father, Donald Barr, was the headmaster of an elite New York City school that hired college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics.
Last week, Barr expressed at the White House Summit on Human Trafficking that encryption was aiding human traffickers. He said:
“We live in a digital age, and like everyone else, human traffickers are relying increasingly on digital communication and the Internet … and more and more, the evidence we rely on to detect and to deal with these predators is digital evidence,” Barr said. “However, increasingly, this evidence is being encrypted. We all recognize that encryption is important in the commercial world to protect consumers like us from cybercriminals, but now, we’re seeing military-grade encryption being marketed on consumer products like cellphones and social media platforms and messaging services, and that means that we cannot get access to this data. We just can’t have chatrooms and websites that are involved in grooming children victims or selling trafficked women — sites that are impenetrable to law enforcement—and we have to do something about this.”
Barr has previously said that technology companies using end-to-end advanced encryption and other security measures are effectively turning devices into “law-free zones.”
“As we use encryption to improve cybersecurity, we must ensure that we retain society’s ability to gain lawful access to data and communications when needed to respond to criminal activity,” Barr said in his keynote address at the International Conference on Cybersecurity at Fordham University Law School in Manhattan.
The ACLU has stated strongly that Barr doesn’t understand the benefits of encryption and that they outweigh the negatives of its use.
“Encryption reliably protects consumers’ sensitive data,” Brett Max Kaufman, a senior staff lawyer in the Center for Democracy at the American Civil Liberties Union said. He added, “There is no way to give the F.B.I. access to encrypted communications without giving the same access to every government on the planet. Technology providers should continue to make their products as safe as possible and resist pressure from all governments to undermine the security of the tools they offer.”
Now Congress is seeking to ban companies from using end-to-end encryption and impose penalties for businesses that use it. Barr, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Sen. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are targeting encryption with a new draft bill called the “Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (or EARN IT) Act.” The act would modify the Communications Decency Act’s Section 230 to make companies liable in state criminal cases and civil lawsuits over child abuse and exploitation if they don’t follow practices set by a national commission, according to Engadget.
That commission would be known as the “National Commission on Online Child Exploitation Prevention,” would be comprised of 15 people, and led by the Attorney General who just so happens to be Barr himself. This new government organization would also include the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and 12 others handpicked by members of Congress. The Commission would be tasked with recommending “best practices for providers of interactive computer services regarding the prevention of online child exploitation conduct.”
Riana Pfefferkorn, a member of the Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, wrote in a blog post that the bill threatens the constitutional rights of online communication platforms and their users in a solid evaluation of the bill. Pfefferkorn explained:
While the EARN IT Act is ostensibly aimed at Section 230, it’s actually a sneaky way of affecting [encryption laws] without directly amending it. This bill has a number of extremely serious problems, too many to fit into one blog post. It is potentially unconstitutional under the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments, for one thing.
If passed, the law would also require companies like Telegram to allow backdoor government access to encrypted information which would also provide a “golden key” vulnerability for malicious hackers—something that Barr doesn’t appear to understand.
The EFF wrote:
Throughout his term as Attorney General, William Barr has frequently and vocally demanded “lawful access” to encrypted communications, ignoring the bedrock technical consensus that it is impossible to build a backdoor that is only available to law enforcement. Barr is far from the first administration official to make impossible demands of encryption providers: he joins a long history of government officials from both parties demanding that encryption providers compromise their users’ security.
Even government officials in the FBI and DOJ aren’t convinced Barr is doing the right thing by seeking to ban encryption, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In 2018, the FBI lied and inflated the number of encrypted phones it said were connected to ongoing criminal investigations. The Bureau incorrectly stated time and time again that 7,800 phones were blocked from investigators. The Washington Post later reported that those figures were more like 1,000 to 2,000. The FBI blamed a “programming error” for the discrepancy.
Modern law provides enough legal means making EARN IT an unnecessary escalation on Section 230 which protects small companies more than the big giants. Currently, if an Internet company finds that an individual or group is using its platform to distribute child sexual abuse material, federal law already requires them to provide that information to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and to cooperate with law enforcement investigations.

The Bangkok Post is reporting that two individuals were arrested under Thailand ’ s new “ Anti-Fake News Center ” for spreading false information about the coronavirus which authorities have said has “ induced panic.

Of those six suspects , only two were charged under the 2017 Computer Crime Act ’ s Section 14 ( 2 ) , he said .
The charges were in relation to false reports about infections in Pattaya and an edited video clip of a Chinese man collapsing according to the authorities .
Section 14 ( 2 ) concerns the “ uploading of false information into the computer system , which is bound to damage national security and cause public disorder.
” One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wrote , “ Thitima Kongthon was arrested at her house in Bangkok ’ s Minburi district after she posted on her Facebook that a patient infected with the virus had died in Pattaya.

He added the video was posted to mislead the public according to Buddhipongse .
The two people will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which carries up to five years in prison if they are found guilty .
Yes , you read that right — five years in prison for spreading a post online .
The Anti-Fake News Center stated it has received 7,587 complaints about the coronavirus in just a week .

It has so far declared 22 of them to be fake news , such as claims online that a Thai Airways flight attendant had contracted the virus .

The Bangkok Post is reporting that two individuals were arrested under Thailand’s new “Anti-Fake News Center” for spreading false information about the coronavirus which authorities have said has “induced panic.”
“The Anti-Fake News Center is compiling evidence to root out the source of fake news,” Buddhipongse said. “We’re working with the cybercrime police, but I have to admit that it’s difficult to identify suspects since they’re anonymous.”
The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta added this was a result of a “crackdown on misleading information being posted on social media in relation to the new coronavirus.”
DES Ministry and the Royal Thai Police’s Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) obtained court warrants to search 15 locations and found that there were six suspected cases related to fake news that have been causing fear and confusion surrounding the coronavirus.
Of those six suspects, only two were charged under the 2017 Computer Crime Act’s Section 14 (2), he said. The charges were in relation to false reports about infections in Pattaya and an edited video clip of a Chinese man collapsing according to the authorities.
Section 14 (2) concerns the “uploading of false information into the computer system, which is bound to damage national security and cause public disorder.”
One of the individuals was identified by Khasodenglish who wrote, “Thitima Kongthon was arrested at her house in Bangkok’s Minburi district after she posted on her Facebook that a patient infected with the virus had died in Pattaya.”
The other, Ritthisak Wongthonglueang, was apprehended at his house in Taweewattana district. Buddhipongse said that Wongthonglueang had confessed that he posted a video of a person collapsing blaming it on the coronavirus in an unrelated incident. He added the video was posted to mislead the public according to Buddhipongse.
The two people will be charged with disseminating false information, which carries up to five years in prison if they are found guilty. Yes, you read that right — five years in prison for spreading a post online.
The Anti-Fake News Center stated it has received 7,587 complaints about the coronavirus in just a week. The center is verifying 160 cases with relevant authorities. It has so far declared 22 of them to be fake news, such as claims online that a Thai Airways flight attendant had contracted the virus.
Reuters visited the office of the Anti-Fake News Center when it launched in November of last year; the news agency said it was “set up like a war room, with monitors in the middle of the room showing charts tracking the latest ‘fake news’ and trending Twitter hashtags.”
Thailand isn’t the only country arresting people for spreading information in regards to the coronavirus that a government deems “fake.” Malaysia has also issued four arrests of its citizens for spreading rumors and “disinformation.” according to a report by Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post.
Those “suspects” include a tutor, two pharmacy assistants and a university student whom if found guilty will face upwards to a $12,000 fine and up to 1 year in prison if convicted.
Earlier last month China arrested 8 people who were charged with spreading rumors about a virus, before the coronavirus was publicly known. Doctors and citizens all over have been uploading a mass of unconfirmed videos that appear to be coming from infected areas, warning that China isn’t telling the truth about the virus as Activist Post reported.
Beyond that, China recently censored a media outlet Caijing, which is one of the most reputable outlets in the country. In the article the authors claim that China has significantly under reported both the cases and deaths, especially among the elderly. (archive) (translation)
At the time of this report there are officially 20,000 coronavirus cases, over 400 dead and 600 recovered according to a map by Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
The fact that anyone would be arrested for spreading information not sanctioned by governments, when everyone is on edge and wondering what is happening, is in itself insanity — welcome to the Ministry Of Truth. Especially if China is lying about the official number of cases and deaths … and that’s a high probability.

Unfortunately, most kids – at least in the UK – are still sleeping with cell phones next to their beds AND spending many of their waking hours with cell phones turned on and near them even when not in use.
From the BBC:
The Childwise report found children getting mobiles at an earlier age, with most now having their own phone by the age of seven. The average time spent on mobiles by seven to 16-year-olds is three hours and 20 minutes per day. […] There are 57% who always have the phone beside their bed and 44% who feel “uncomfortable” if they are ever without a phone signal.

The United States government has rolled out incredibly totalitarian measures that amount to human rights violations in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Unfortunately, long after this pandemic is a distant memory, the authoritarian controls will still be in place.
Local governments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have received anonymized data about people in areas of “geographic interest,” with the aim being to create a portal of geolocation information for 500 cities across the country. The development follows reports of other countries using cellphone data to monitor citizens and see if they are complying with curbs on movement, and elimination of income in order to defeat the viral outbreak.
European mobile carriers have reportedly been sharing data with health authorities in Italy, Germany, and Austria, while at the same time respecting Europe’s privacy laws. Earlier this month, Israel passed emergency measures that allow security agencies to track the smartphone data of people with suspected COVID-19 and find others they may have come into contact with.
Even if you end up making it through this pandemic without getting sick, the economic ramifications are going to be immense and it’s expected that the government will use the implemented mass surveillance and tracked to squash riots. It’s likely that this pandemic of total control will affect you for much longer than the virus will. The mainstream media is calling those who care about people’s livelihoods “greedy,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Texans are used to hearing talk of securing the southern border with Mexico , but the idea of checkpoints at the border with Louisiana is something no one ever imagined .
After late last week Louisiana and specifically New Orleans have emerged as the southern epicenter for the coronavirus outbreak in the US , with the Bayou State on Sunday reporting more than 3,500 positive cases – a number expected to grow rapidly following a busy Mardi Gras season – Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Sunday ordered all travelers entering Texas from Louisiana to enter a 14-day quarantine , now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the first time police have been told to enforce the quarantine order at checkpoints along the state border .
Few details have been given , but it ’ s expected that law enforcement will for the first time in living memory establish and beef up checkpoints along all major roadways that cross into Louisiana .
According to some of the few known details in The Houston Chronicle : Those in quarantine will be asked to provide an address for where they plan to hole up in Texas , either for two weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whichever comes first .
A provision in the order allows DPS special agents to check on those under quarantine to ensure they ’ re complying .
Violators could be subject to either a $ 1,000 fine or 180 days in jail , according to the four-page document .

Texans are used to hearing talk of securing the southern border with Mexico, but the idea of checkpoints at the border with Louisiana is something no one ever imagined.
After late last week Louisiana and specifically New Orleans have emerged as the southern epicenter for the coronavirus outbreak in the US, with the Bayou State on Sunday reporting more than 3,500 positive cases – a number expected to grow rapidly following a busy Mardi Gras season – Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Sunday ordered all travelers entering Texas from Louisiana to enter a 14-day quarantine, now enforceable by state troopers.
Crucially, for the first time police have been told to enforce the quarantine order at checkpoints along the state border.
Few details have been given, but it’s expected that law enforcement will for the first time in living memory establish and beef up checkpoints along all major roadways that cross into Louisiana.
According to some of the few known details in The Houston Chronicle:
Those in quarantine will be asked to provide an address for where they plan to hole up in Texas, either for two weeks or until their return to Louisiana, whichever comes first. A provision in the order allows DPS special agents to check on those under quarantine to ensure they’re complying. Violators could be subject to either a $1,000 fine or 180 days in jail, according to the four-page document. Another provision states that if a driver is showing symptoms associated with COVID-19, such as fever, coughing or shortness of breath, a trooper will follow them to their destination.
It’s similar to current inter-state travel advisories and restrictions in place in Florida, New York and New Jersey.
The order takes effect Monday at noon and will involve unprecedented border control checks along the busy Texas-Louisiana border.
Health officials have recently warned that the skyrocketing Covid-19 cases in Louisiana could threaten the entire southern region of the United States, which thus far has generally seen lower numbers than either the Northwest or East Coast cities.

This edited article by Saut Sok Prathna is from VOD News, an independent news site in Cambodia, and is republished on Global Voices as part of a content-sharing agreement. Translated from the original article on VOD Khmer
Nearly 1,000 garment workers protested outside a Phnom Penh factory on March 25, 2020, after the owner failed to pay their regular wages, which the company said was due to declining payments from buyers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Factory workers employed by Canteran Apparel (Cambodia) Co. Ltd. protested after the company failed to pay their full wages for the most recent two-week pay period, worker Sann Sopha told VOD.
The factory owner refused to sign an agreement promising to pay workers their outstanding wages at the beginning of next month, as workers had asked, Sopha said.
Workers will continue their strike to force the company to respect the condition to pay workers regularly from today onward. Workers asked the company to make a written promise with them but the company did not dare to make a contract with us. The company just gave excuses for this and that.
Sopha said the factory had been paying workers irregularly for the past four months. She said the factory’s owner was Chinese, but the company listing on the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia lists the owner as Malaysian. The company employs 935 workers, according to GMAC.
Kim Bou, head of administration at the factory, said the company has lost buyers during the global economic slowdown resulting from the spread of COVID-19, a new respiratory disease that was first detected in China in late December 2019.
Bou said Canteran was facing a financial crisis and thus could not pay workers on time, but he said the company was trying to find funds to pay workers’ salaries.
The company faces difficulties with the market, and buyers have also delayed transferring their payments because of the Covid-19 issue. Our company tried very hard to find a solution for our workers. However much money we have, we will pay with that and the owner will keep paying till they get full wages.
COVID-19’s impact on Cambodia’s GDP may be more than 1 percent of the GDP in the best-case scenario and nearly 3 percent of the GDP in a worst-case scenario, according to an Asian Development Bank briefing from earlier this month. The impact could be close to 4 percent of the GDP in a hypothetical situation in which a significant outbreak occurs in the country.
The Health Ministry has confirmed 96 total infections in the country since January (as of March 26) with 10 people recovering from the virus.
Sopha told VOD that workers said they will face difficulties managing daily expenses, such as rent, utilities, children’s school fees and bank loans if their employer does not pay their full, regular wages.
Pav Sina, president of the Collective Union Movement of Workers, said the company is violating the law by not paying workers their full wages.
Sina said the Labor Ministry should find an immediate solution to help workers who are struggling with their expenses.
We cannot let the employers give excuses to delay paying workers’ wages, because workers are in debt and they cannot make an excuse to delay their expenses. If [workers] cannot pay debts on the right date and time, they will be fined.
Peng Phoeun, deputy chief of the Labor Ministry’s labor disputes bureau, could not be reached for comment during the time of publication.

Researchers from Harvard ’ s T.H .
Chan School of Public Health published a study titled “ Social distancing strategies for curbing the COVID-19 epidemic , ” Tuesday ( March 24 ) on the medRxive pre-print server for health sciences , detailing how a single prolonged widespread lockdown of the country is not the best strategy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic .
Instead , the study calls for “ intermittent ” lockdowns and “ widespread surveillance ” to mitigate the spread and prevent hospital systems from being overwhelmed .
The study ’ s authors Stephen Iissler , Christine Tedijanto , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chan School said that “ a single period of social distancing will not be sufficient.
” They said without repeated intervals of distancing , “ there was a resurgence of infection when the simulated social distancing measures were lifted ” in the computer model scenarios .
Keep in mind , as per ZDNet ’ s Tiernan Ray , the study is not yet peer-reviewed , suggesting other scientists have not vetted the computer models of “ intermittent ” social distancing to solve the virus crisis .
However , the computer models are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that one prolonged lockdown of the country is not the best solution because the virus will return in waves .
The study says some parts of the country where virus cases are low can remain open for business .
While other parts that are hard-hit can enforce strict “ stay-at-home ” public health orders to mitigate the risks of overwhelming hospital systems .
The study said the pandemic would likely hit in waves , with the virus subsiding this summer , but could return this fall .
The study concludes by saying , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intervals for specific geographical regions could be turned on and off like a water spigot through 2022 .
As for what determines if an area should be locked down for a 20-week interval is if cases exceed 37.5 cases of the disease per 10,000 adult people in the population .

Researchers from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health published a study titled “Social distancing strategies for curbing the COVID-19 epidemic,” Tuesday (March 24) on the medRxive pre-print server for health sciences, detailing how a single prolonged widespread lockdown of the country is not the best strategy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the study calls for “intermittent” lockdowns and “widespread surveillance” to mitigate the spread and prevent hospital systems from being overwhelmed.
The study’s authors Stephen Iissler, Christine Tedijanto, Marc Lipsitch, and Yonatan Grad of the Chan School said that “a single period of social distancing will not be sufficient.” They said without repeated intervals of distancing, “there was a resurgence of infection when the simulated social distancing measures were lifted” in the computer model scenarios.
Keep in mind, as per ZDNet’s Tiernan Ray, the study is not yet peer-reviewed, suggesting other scientists have not vetted the computer models of “intermittent” social distancing to solve the virus crisis.
However, the computer models are based on other pandemics and already show that one prolonged lockdown of the country is not the best solution because the virus will return in waves.
The study says some parts of the country where virus cases are low can remain open for business. While other parts that are hard-hit can enforce strict “stay-at-home” public health orders to mitigate the risks of overwhelming hospital systems.
“The SARS-CoV-2 [the virus that causes COVID-19] pandemic is straining healthcare resources worldwide, prompting social distancing measures to reduce transmission intensity,” read the study. “The amount of social distancing needed to curb the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in the context of seasonally varying transmission remains unclear.”
The study said the pandemic would likely hit in waves, with the virus subsiding this summer, but could return this fall.
Using a mathematical model, we assessed that one-time interventions will be insufficient to maintain COVID-19 prevalence within the critical care capacity of the United States. Seasonal variation in transmission will facilitate epidemic control during the summer months but could lead to an intense resurgence in the autumn.
The study concludes by saying, “intermittent distancing measures” on 20-week intervals for specific geographical regions could be turned on and off like a water spigot through 2022.
Intermittent distancing measures can maintain control of the epidemic, but without other interventions, these measures may be necessary into 2022. Increasing critical care capacity could reduce the duration of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic while ensuring that critically ill patients receive appropriate care.
As for what determines if an area should be locked down for a 20-week interval is if cases exceed 37.5 cases of the disease per 10,000 adult people in the population. This threshold, the researchers note, would allow health care systems in those regions to maintain an adequate number of hospital beds and ICU-level treatments.
We noted on Friday that governments and corporations are partnering as a collaborative force to employ big data and “widespread surveillance” to monitor if civilians are abiding by social distancing rules. The authors of the study also agreed that surveillance tools are required to monitor the spread and make sure critical care capacity is not being overwhelmed in certain regions.
To sum up, “intermittent” social distancing could become a reality, embraced by the Trump administration to avoid a prolonged depression in the US as much of the economy is shut down at the moment.

Crawfordsville , IL — Police officers in Crawfordsville appear to have attempted to get a man to incriminate himself for entirely legal actions he took at his local banking institution .
To be clear , we do not know the identity of the YouTube user who goes by the channel name of SSTX9 .
We found the channel linked to SugarShaneTX9 on Instagram but the user has a private channel .
Also , we ’ ve learned “ Shane ” may also be disabled .
In a recent forum , SSTX9 posted he lives in Indiana , is disabled , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ several doctors monthly .
It is unclear if he is disabled because he is a veteran , or otherwise , but at any rate , we found his most recent police contact disturbing to say the least .
It may come as a surprise to our readers but your bank tellers are required to report any suspicious financial activity at their bank to the authorities , especially amounts involving more than $ 10,000 .
Yes , that ’ s right America .
The government works closely with your bank to make sure the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right there .

Crawfordsville, IL — Police officers in Crawfordsville appear to have attempted to get a man to incriminate himself for entirely legal actions he took at his local banking institution. To be clear, we do not know the identity of the YouTube user who goes by the channel name of SSTX9. We found the channel linked to SugarShaneTX9 on Instagram but the user has a private channel. Also, we’ve learned “Shane” may also be disabled. In a recent forum, SSTX9 posted he lives in Indiana, is disabled, and has to make frequent visits to several doctors monthly. It is unclear if he is disabled because he is a veteran, or otherwise, but at any rate, we found his most recent police contact disturbing to say the least.
It may come as a surprise to our readers but your bank tellers are required to report any suspicious financial activity at their bank to the authorities, especially amounts involving more than $10,000. Yes, that’s right America. The government works closely with your bank to make sure the money you deposit into their accounts stays right there. As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, if you attempt to withdraw your money in the form of cold hard cash, and it’s a significant amount, and your bank thinks you’re up to no good (criminal activity), they are required to notify the police. It is called a Suspicious Activity Report.
Shane may have learned the hard way which bank to trust when Crawfordsville, Indiana police pulled him over and began to question him about his bank account. In the small town of Crawfordsville (population 16,000) a motorist was stopped by armed men with guns and badges and asked to explain recent transaction activity he made in his bank account. There are neighborhoods larger than the town of Crawfordsville, so the small town cop harassment of a motorist is making big news as it serves to illustrate the reaches of the powerful police state in which we all live.
As the cell phone footage begins, a Crawfordsville cop asks Shane about his recent bank activity whereby he allegedly “was down at the bank and you tried to switch 40,000 dollars worth of cash”. The unidentified police officer was not dealing with a rookie. Shane responded by asking a few questions of his own such as, “did I do something wrong?”
“That’s what I was asking. I’m trying to have a conversation with you,” the officer replied.
At this point it’s apparent that someone “down at the bank” reported Shane to the cops. We at TFTP really don’t care if Shane is an upstanding citizen or a criminal. We do, however, concern ourselves with police department overreach and how it affects our constitutional rights to comport ourselves as free individuals, free from being asked to explain any and all bank transactions to men with guns. Shane states again:
I’m just curious if I’ve done something illegal because I need to know, I have business to take care of.
Shane remained quiet and did not respond to the presence or the imposition of the officers with guns standing at his car window. He did ask the officer, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Yes,” the officer responded.
“What might that be,” responded Shane.
“I’ll ask it again if you want…no I’m just asking you…my understanding is you were trying to switch over 40,000 dollars at a local bank,” the officer stated apparently wanting Shane to detail his personal financial business with an armed officer of the state.
Not getting any voluntary, private, financial information from Shane, the officer then attempted to imply Shane must be crazy to be driving around with $40,000 dollars in his possession, something Shane did not admit to be doing.
By all accounts it seemed to be an attempt to ascertain whether or not the officer could detain Shane under the suspicion that he may be unwell. We at TFTP have seen this too. When some citizens do not comply with officer commands they will have the good citizen committed to a psychiatric facility, forced medicines, or even worse, all in an attempt to have their way over the public. In this case we suspect if Shane had admitted to having $40,000 dollars in cash in his possession the officer would have confiscated the money and held it until Shane could prove beyond a reasonable doubt he earned the money legally.
We have reported on cash confiscation schemes by police on numerous occasions. Sometimes, the citizens get their money back and other times they don’t. It’s called highway robbery by police accountability activists and we would like to say it is an isolated phenomena. But it is not. In fact the Supreme Court of the United States weighed in on the practice of Civil Asset Forfeiture on the side of motorists saying police do not have the right to take from someone an excess of money or assets which go far beyond the fines for the criminal activity with which they have been charged. But they still do.
Just this passed week, CNN encouraged citizens not to rush to their banks to withdraw their money because they fear the coronavirus pandemic. It’s unclear if that was the reason why Shane was shuffling money around at his bank but his story highlights just exactly what might happen to citizens who do wish to withdraw their money from their bank account for safekeeping at home. The cops might just pull you over, attempt to interrogate you, or later visit your home to check on your so-called well being when in fact it’s your money they may be after.
In our opinion, Shane handled the police interaction in a courteous fashion, not incriminating himself, or violating any laws in the process. We are also impressed by the fact he is confident enough to exercise his First Amendment rights to drive around town with a “F**k Police” sticker in his car, something which did not escape the officer’s notice.
It’s really none of his business why Shane displays the sticker but he asked why nonetheless. Shane simply responded with the stated fact he has been assaulted by cops in the past and is currently suing them in court, both things we would like to know more about.

Canada has over 6,243 confirmed coronvirus cases , including 64 deaths as of Sunday , which compared to the United States – at over 135,000 cases and rapidly growing – appears to be doing a much better job at fighting the spread .
Though nationwide transport systems , including flights and trains , are still active , Canada announced Sunday that starting Monday any passengers showing symptoms related to Covid-19 will be banned from domestic flights and trains .
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the new nation-wide rule from his residence in a press briefing , which reads “ people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be denied boarding on all domestic flights and intercity passenger trains , ” according to Politico .
Trudeau said that measures to contain the disease are “ beginning to work ” but still said individuals “ need to continue to do what is necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
” The new measures will likely involve more invasive temperature scans and symptom monitoring checks by authorities at transport hubs .
But the language of the new order puts the onus on the train and airline companies to monitor and enforce the mandate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are returning from travel abroad are under legal mandate to self-isolate for 14 days upon return .
Trudeau ’ s own wife previously tested positive for coronavirus after a trip to London , and has since been in self-isolation for two weeks , but recently announced her doctor said she was in the clear .
Neither Trudeau nor their children have shown symptoms , but over the weekend he indicated he may continue to work in a state of isolation to “ set an example ” for Canadians .
Currently , Quebec @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s major cities in order to monitor unnecessary travel , and to tell outside travelers returning to Quebec to self-quarantine upon return to their homes .
Quebec has further banned gatherings of 5 people or more in order to mitigate the spread of the virus .

Canada has over 6,243 confirmed coronvirus cases, including 64 deaths as of Sunday, which compared to the United States – at over 135,000 cases and rapidly growing – appears to be doing a much better job at fighting the spread.
Though nationwide transport systems, including flights and trains, are still active, Canada announced Sunday that starting Monday any passengers showing symptoms related to Covid-19 will be banned from domestic flights and trains.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the new nation-wide rule from his residence in a press briefing, which reads “people showing any signs whatsoever of Covid-19 will be denied boarding on all domestic flights and intercity passenger trains,” according to Politico.
Trudeau said that measures to contain the disease are “beginning to work” but still said individuals “need to continue to do what is necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19.”
The new measures will likely involve more invasive temperature scans and symptom monitoring checks by authorities at transport hubs. But the language of the new order puts the onus on the train and airline companies to monitor and enforce the mandate among their passengers.
Thus far Canadians who are returning from travel abroad are under legal mandate to self-isolate for 14 days upon return.
Trudeau’s own wife previously tested positive for coronavirus after a trip to London, and has since been in self-isolation for two weeks, but recently announced her doctor said she was in the clear.
Neither Trudeau nor their children have shown symptoms, but over the weekend he indicated he may continue to work in a state of isolation to “set an example” for Canadians.
Currently, Quebec is maintaining police checkpoints around the province’s major cities in order to monitor unnecessary travel, and to tell outside travelers returning to Quebec to self-quarantine upon return to their homes. Quebec has further banned gatherings of 5 people or more in order to mitigate the spread of the virus.
