"You would hope the cops arn't crazy enough to start arresting people based entirely on the matching system"

And you would be wrong, people are arrested all the time based simply on "the computer screen/paper told me to". There have literally been cases where people have pulled out multiple forms of ID proving they weren't the person detailed in the arrest warrant and they were arrested anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if facial recognition became our next "the K9 alerted" or "the field drug test came back positive" excuse, which are basically a catch all reason to arrest someone based on no real evidence (K9s can be easily induced to alert and field drug tests will hit on sugar, sage, flour, breath mints, air, etc).

The more cops wearing body cameras that stream to the cloud for storage (ending the missing SD card issue) the better!

Is that what these cameras do?

Trick question. No, it isn't, unless this is a new generation of them.

After our police chief got recruited by Taser and mysteriously secured a no-bid contract, Albuquerque started using Taser's product. It used SD cards, and as our police records custodian noticed, the videos didn't always manage to later get uploaded. Some darker things were alleged as well though it's not clear if they really happened.

DoJ is looking into it. Or they were, before the president came out against police oversight. #ThanksTrump

Anyway, the only reason I bring this up, is that at least with the machines APD has, the videos definitely are not streamed directly to the servers without the cops having veto (or editing) powers. Whether they use those powers, is a matter of how much you trust them.

It's pretty straight forward. Places with established infrastructure in related industries tend to attract start ups and industry leaders alike.

Major industries rely on scores of subcontractors and ancillary manufacturers to do their thing. It's difficult to top the advantage of having everything you need nearby.

You are some kind of clueless.

This was 5 minutes of looking. The list goes on and on. There are PLENTY of reasons for mature children and teenagers to know how to use firearms. One of the biggest reasons is the simple fact that it educates them in what freedom actually is.

Just for fun, here is a 13yo girl using a pistol, shotgun, and fully automatic rifle in competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yd4B77PkeaU and here she is talking about the specific firearms she used, https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TXYdzPiF4xc

Here are some examples for you

Three held in Palmview home invasion

I know they are just anecdotes, but they are good examples of what can happen in a home invasion.

If I were in any of these situations I would not want anything getting in the way of my firearm working.

Is it legal for you to wear a camera to monitor the police?

N. O.

That has been established as obstruction.

ALBUQUERQUE -- Undercover officers with the New Mexico Department of Public Safety that were out Saturday night trying to bust drunks leaving bars arrested three men for videotaping them. The three men showed up in court Sunday morning with an attorney to fight the felony charges they are facing. Jacob Traub owns the Downtown Distillery, David Garcia and Lance Gomez both work for him. One criminal complaint says an officer asked one of the men to stop videotaping for security reasons since he was working undercover. The complaint also says the man told the officer they were harassing the customers in the bar. The men's attorney Paul Kennedy told KRQE News 13 that they were videotaping on a public street and there is nothing illegal with what they did. "Every citizen has a first amendment right to videotape public officers in the performance of their duties on public property and that's all that was going on here," said Kennedy. Deputy Director of the Special Investigation Division Jim Plagens spoke with KRQE News 13 regarding the arrest. "These three individuals were arrested for obstruction of the administration of the liquor control act. To comment any farther at this point, I think would be inappropriate," said Plagens Kennedy plans on filing an injunction in state court and a civil rights lawsuit. All the men are charged with obstruction of the administration of the liquor control act. They are out on bond and allowed to go back to work. http://www.krqe.com/expanded.asp?ID=15249

Director Nanos single-handedly dealt an enormous blow to the American and world science by shutting down the operations at Los Alamos for MONTHS - all for nothing more than dominance games. If the Cold War were still on, I would suspect him of being a Russian mole.

Let me state that the knowledge of the total absurdity of the lleged "security breach" in Los Alamos is nothing new. Larry Barker of KRQE News reported that the scandal was fake in August 2004. Read the August 11, 2004 artile from Santa Fe New Mexican.

To conclude, I am much saddened by the mindless regurgitation of the official lies in this thread.

As you mention, interlocks now are used by court order only. This is Constitutional and reasonable. Someone needs to re-educate Mr. Martinez about the Constitution:

Speeking of the Constitution, I found this at http://www.peeniewallie.com/documents/ACLU-NM-2004 -02-18-PW.html:

KRQE-13's web site has a story about a new bill requiring breathalyzer ignition interlocks in every vehicle in New Mexico,

'Breathalyzer in every car' bill passes house

Some state lawmakers are convinced they have the answer to solve
the D.W.I. epidemic and want to require everyone on the road to
take a breathalyzer test before they can start the engine of any vehicle.

Today, the proposal is one very large step closer to becoming law.

A bill requiring an ignition interlock device be installed on every car,
truck, bus or motorcycle in New Mexico passed the state house today and
is on its way to the senate.

[snip]

The bill also has perked the ears and raised concern at the local chapter
of the American civil liberties union.

"We are concerned that if you've got to sort of go through a mini search
every time you drive your car," says Reber Boult. "That's very invasive."

Welcome to my world.

As one of the tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners in this country, I have to go through a background check, and wait for government permission, every time I purchase a firearm. Such background checks could be described as "a mini search" that's "very invasive."

I don't have to do this because guns are more dangerous than cars.

There are about 220 million vehicles in the United States [1].

There are about 250 million guns in the United States [2].

From 1999 to 2001, there were 130,215 motor vehicle related fatalities, or 43,000 motor vehicle related deaths per year [3].

From 1999 to 2001, there were 87,110 firearms related fatalities, or 29,000 firearms related deaths per year.

This means there are about 20 deaths per 100,000 vehicle per year, and 12 deaths per 100,000 guns per year.

A given car or truck is 1.7 times more likely to be involved in a fatality than any given gun is. It should also be noted that, unlike automobile deaths, 60% of the people killed by gunshot wounds chose to end their own life. With an automobile, there is rarely an intent to cause death. Yet vehicles are still involved in more deaths -- both in terms of absolute numbers and per-unit -- than firearms are.

Unlike the privilege to drive, the right to "keep and bear arms" is explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. While claiming to be "neutral" on the issue of gun rights, the ACLU has stated that "If we can license and register cars, we can license and register guns [4]." While I had always hoped that the "license guns like cars" argument would lead to broader rights for gun owners (since vehicle licensing and registration is actually very lenient compared to gun control laws), I shouldn't

The last 3 digits of your post ID is 666, you evil bastard!

Next, the 666 will become 491...

Even in the last couple of months, there have been lots of school shootings.

The only thing that's changed is you're not hearing about them.
