ATF Puts Up Surveillance Cameras Around Seattle ... To Catch Illegal Grease Dump (muckrock.com)
v3rgEz writes: Last summer, Seattleites noticed that utility poles around town were showing some odd growths: A raft of surveillance cameras that, under Seattle's strict surveillance equipment laws, shouldn't have been there without disclosure and monitoring. But Seattle Police said that they weren't theirs, and one enterprising citizen followed up with a series of public records requests, only to discover that they were actually the ATF's cameras — on the watch for grease dumpers. Now the requester is fighting for the full list of federal surveillance watching over Seattle, and answers to how often federal agencies pursue what appear to be purely local crimes.
What kinds of questions are on these odd, growth afflicted, utility polls?
maybe this surveilance slope wouldn't be so slippery if you stopped illegally dumping grease on it!
Glad they only use surveillance to get terrorists. Lipid terrorism here
Darn, they slipped away!

Biodiesel is a huge win on smallish boats. Diesel fumes make many people sick. Biodiesel fumes just make people want to eat french fries.
Couldn't they sell it instead of dumping it?
They would probably make a lot more selling all the bullshit in that "We're just looking for grease dumpers" story as fertilizer.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
