What 4th Amendment? Police Across America Are Using Radars To See Inside People's Homes
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The intentional erosion of public privacy is no accident. It’s not merely a simplistically stupid overreaction to the dangerous world we live in either. It is a very deliberate and nefarious plan being intentionally implemented by the American oligarchy; i.e., the super rich and the super powerful. This is precisely why the establishment freaked out about the Edward Snowden revelations, and it is why every single minor event is immediately manipulated into an excuse to give the government and intelligence agencies more power.
While we already know a lot about the NSA’s unconstitutional and fascist policies when it comes to the web, the decimation of the 4th Amendment is also being eagerly practiced at a more local level by police departments across the country. USA Today published a very important article on this topic earlier today. Here are some excerpts:
WASHINGTON — At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside, a practice raising new concerns about the extent of government surveillance.
Those agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, began deploying the radar systems more than two years ago with little notice to the courts and no public disclosure of when or how they would be used. The technology raises legal and privacy issues because the U.S. Supreme Court has said officers generally cannot use high-tech sensors to tell them about the inside of a person’s house without first obtaining a search warrant.
Complete and total lawlessness.
Current and former federal officials say the information is critical for keeping officers safe if they need to storm buildings or rescue hostages. But privacy advocates and judges have nonetheless expressed concern about the circumstances in which law enforcement agencies may be using the radars — and the fact that they have so far done so without public scrutiny.
Should the primary concern of society be to keep police officers safe, when many officers have absolutely zero regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to the public? They signed up for a dangerous job, whereas these poor souls were just their innocent victims:

Now, back to the USA Today piece.
Agents’ use of the radars was largely unknown until December, when a federal appeals court in Denver said officers had used one before they entered a house to arrest a man wanted for violating his parole. The judges expressed alarm that agents had used the new technology without a search warrant, warning that “the government’s warrantless use of such a powerful tool to search inside homes poses grave Fourth Amendment questions.”
Other radar devices have far more advanced capabilities, including three-dimensional displays of where people are located inside a building, according to marketing materials from their manufacturers. One is capable of being mounted on a drone. And the Justice Department has funded research to develop systems that can map the interiors of buildings and locate the people within them.
The radars were first designed for use in Iraq and Afghanistan. They represent the latest example of battlefield technology finding its way home to civilian policing and bringing complex legal questions with it.
More evidence that the “war on terror” is coming home, and the targets will be average citizens engaged in non-crimes.
Those concerns are especially thorny when it comes to technology that lets the police determine what’s happening inside someone’s home. The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that the Constitution generally bars police from scanning the outside of a house with a thermal camera unless they have a warrant, and specifically noted that the rule would apply to radar-based systems that were then being developed.
Still, the radars appear to have drawn little scrutiny from state or federal courts. The federal appeals court’s decision published last month was apparently the first by an appellate court to reference the technology or its implications.
But yeah, USA! USA!

We the people need to start to a movement to just video tape all cops/fireman/politicians/ aka civil servants everytime they are out of their homes. i'm sure they will lovw it

Fuck 'em!
These 2 days post facto stories on ZH show a lack of fiduciary duty by the latest crop of Tylers. Its a shame they have gone soft.
Chart porn only goes so far...
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
In legal terms the United States is currently in a State of War, thus constitutional rights are suspended if the Sovereign deems necessary (under these extraordinary circumstances, actions carried out by the Executive branch cannot be overseen by Congress or the Judiciary). Additionally, ordinary Americans are utterly ignorant about their own legal system and most of them don't even know the contents of the Constitution.
Consequently, Mike Krieger's post is pure bullshit, period.
guess they dont have radar in france when they did that charlie raid.
They do have them there. However, the Charlie raid was for other reasons.
That same 'state of emergency' has been in place since the civil war. What is the statute of limitations on unlimited federal meddling?
Is that anything like the gaydar they're using to spy inside the White House?
The supreme court has upheld the "I didn't know it wasn't legal," from the police already. This should really come as no surprise. As far as I know, they still have stingrays.
Yes indeed, ignorance of "the law" is no excuse citizen! Unless you work for the state, of course...lol.
I love the way its phrased:
"The new technology raises legal and privacy issues because the U.S. Supreme Court has said officers generally cannot use high-tech sensors to tell them about the inside of a person’s house without first obtaining a search warrant."
"The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that the Constitution generally bars police from scanning the outside of a house with a thermal camera unless they have a warrant, and specifically noted that the rule would apply to radar-based systems that were then being developed."
Just one word inserted, generally, provides the state a loophole large enough to drive an M1 Abrams tank through.
The Bill of Rights specifically states:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
I failed to find the word "generally" anywhere in the text and they need a warrant to use it lawfully.
Period.
Yes sir you are correct. Yesterday on National Propaganda Radio, they reported on how the French government, as a result of the Paris charade, is now going to hire 'thousands' of new security personnel, form a new agency to protect French citizens, and of course be more diligent in monitoring communincations of the French people.
Hmm.
Let me see here. The formula seems to be:
1. Stage false flag attack.
2. Continuously change the story until a totally preposterous set of 'facts' is used to back up said story.
3. Use the media to bombard with population with fear inducing stories.
4. Use the manufactured crisis and the sheoples' fear to expand goverment reach and control.
5. Explain to citizens how this is for their own good and how giving up their liberties will keep them safe.
6. Hire large numbers of new government workers, expand government, and destroy liberty, while telling us that it's the 'terrorists that hate us for our freedom' .
Terrorism only works if it terrifies you.
I remain un-terrified and ready to defend hearth and home.
Fuck the initiators of force, I don't care who they are.
"if the Sovereign deems necessary"
Well I do not deem it necessary! In this republic we are all "the sovereign."
Just ine tenny weeny problem withe your post Comte;--if the SOVERIGN -- preamble of the U,S.Constituton:
"We the People-------do ordainn and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." WE THE PEOPLE A R E the SOVERRIGN, not O'Blah blah. Don't create new powers for him continue his fantesy.
Mike's post isn't bullshit, yours is. Milestones
By that definition, the US has been continuously at war for over 70 years.
"The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous!" - George Orwell, '1984'
The reason for this is so that according to a textbook raid it is to invade your home at the most opportune time. 1). When you least expect a forced entry, and 2). When you are most vulnerable (the latter would be preferably during a time when you are completely compromised, naked, and most vulnerable).
No-knock, means you'll first reach for your socks instead of your Glocks.

He was quick on the trigger! Maybe that will make other cops think twice before doing the same.
The Grand Jury did, however, return an indictment for “Possession of Marijuana more than 4 oz. but less than 5 lbs.” while in possession of a deadly weapon,
So if you get caught with some weed and own a kitchen knife, a can of gasoline, a hammer, a baseball bat or a car, you can be charged with this?
The war on drugs is the war on us.
That bloke should get a medal. Bit more of that, and we might see the blackshirts tone it down a little.
Question: how the fuck did he not end up dead too?
Even with this spying device, the psychopaths will still be blowing the faces off of babies with "flash-bang" grenades--because they enjoy doing so.

Then put your dick down and show us how its done, squid. What do you know? The story is actually 4 years old, when they started using infrared to conduct drive by surveillance into houses without warrants, and makes no mention of the unconstitutional treaties allowing spies and international criminal syndicates with Interpol credentials diplomatic immunity. And thats just the tip...
Actually its almost 14 years old, see Kyllo v. United States SCOTUS decision circa 2001.
We're gonna need a bigger tinfoil hat.
Radar is just a EM wave, and is defeated accordingly.
Line the outside walls with conductive foil or mesh, and ground it to earth. You now have a Faraday Cage, that is totally impenetrable to radar. And all radio waves, coming in or going out.
But beware of your landline, which is a tunnel in and out.

Another example of how corrupt the American press is, filled with reporters and editors who have Stasi mentalities. Police and others in the know about illegal Big Brother tactics have no way of passing on information about the illegal wiretapping and surveillance of our police state, run by Clinton, Bush and and now Obama. The American press is is a disgrace, lying reporters, many literally on the payroll of Big Brother organizations like the DEA.

We don't own them, so why would we expect to have privacy?
Like American's will give a fuck about this tecnology, as long as it keep's them safe from _______ (insert here) then it's all good , just don't take away the television because if you did how would they know what to think.
Technically and legally your homes are assets of the state you live in. Woops! Guess you didn't "understand" why the assessor came out! Obviously, if your property is deeded as "private property" and tax free then it is yours. Most property here will be deeded "commercial-residential" and taxed as such.
So few question tax law it is no wonder why people are being bled dry.
I actually put the county recorder under oath, and he said that the county and or the state has no legal interest in my property.
Is the ground or bottom of the lake any safer? I'd be surprised if there wasn't technology to map it and find burried items as well.
Stamped aluminum diamond tiles render this system useless as the idiots using it.
Visit your local machinist.
Problem solved. Your welcome.

You don't mean the Cone of Silence? Sorry its from a movie.
How much territory can you cover with aluminum chainmail or tiles. One bedroom or a shack. The bathroom. Maybe the concrete basement or tornado shelter is okay?
Think Faraday cage.
There's a reason they don't teach EM Theory in High School anymore.
Excellent.
Go back to steel or aluminum siding on houses.
I want lead siding, with lead storm shutters and gun ports.
That scene from Enemy of the State in Gene Hackman's hideout comes to mind.
Any meshing with a variance of depth and spread wil do the same, and be likely far cheaper. Then you could also just mix aluminum dust into the outdoor paint the next time you paint your house, or get textured aluminum siding.
When I was a kid there was lead in the interior house paint and real glass (containing lead) was used for windows, both of which inhibit or interfere with radar signals. Isn't it ironic that these items have been outlawed for my own safety?
(Yawn)

get ready for technological asymmetry.
That will last maybe ten years, if that. They can't afford to keep the game going at this rate, and the majority of the knowledge base is still in the private sector.
After the next phase of the economic collapse, the police will be able to use these devices to find Jews and banksters who are trying to hide from the irate mobs in attics and basements.

I have just redecorated the entire house,, With aluminium foil under the wallpaper
im not sure the type of metal used matters, but the field has to have a certain impedence, it has to match the frequency of the waves you are trying to intercept. if you remember the old cb radios the antenna had to be cut to the length that reduced the SWR, or standing wave ratio to its lowest possibel level. now i am with you on this, to protect ourselves from these RF waves we must build an antenna which most closely matches most of the frequencies and then sends that signal to ground, like the old lightening rod. that antenna has to cover the field not merely the user, so its complicated, what you need is an antenna field. i am sure it can be done. and oncve you can prove that anyone beneath the shielf is getting zero rf you can sell these things like crazy.
I believe what they are referring to is known as UltraWideBand (UWB)

Walt Whitman lived at a time before the USA was a nation-state of the NWO and before the politicians were all contractors.
He did not live during a peaceful time as I have. For some reason I don't feel lucky.
I'm baffled on this NWO you speak of.
World Orders have been way before Walt Whitman. Occassionally they get reset and the players change but there have always been elitists and the slave population.
Just because it has been mentioned bluntly by Bush one doesn't mean there wasn't a NWO way before then.
NWO is simply the powers that be fighting over wealth and turf and using us as cannon fodder to achieve it. That's been going on for centuries.
4th Amendment? I thought they did away with the entire Constitution already.
Terahertz radar, same as TSA was going to use, or are they using it?
http://www.technologyreview.com/view/416066/how-terahertz-waves-tear-apart-dna/
Oops. Don't terahertz me bro, you wouldn't like me when I'm terahertzed.
You don't even need terahertz radar. You can do it with timed pulses of light.
If you know when a particular pulse was sent and when the reflection came back, you can use it to calculate how the light bounced within a structure. Basically real time ray tracing.
This is still at the research phase at the moment but with enough computing power, a pulsed light source and a camera you can build a real time 3D model of a structure and everything within.
e.g.

What did you expect from the .1% class, fair play?
F:8 and be there
Been a happening for years. The police or whoever can sit across the street and intercept every keystroke you type on your key board. Lasers can be emplyed to listen in on conversations your having in your home as the windows vibrate and the laser detects these vibrations. We worry about this technology and yet this has been going on since mid to lat 80's.
If your computer is not in a faraday cage it is not secure also known as tempest approved systems the government and other entities use to secure their computer systems from emitting signals.
FLIR can do the same thing using thermo imaging if it is sensitive enough.
I am pissed but not alot you can do about it and it will get worse. I have enough shit to worry about being a working stiff.
"as they sit across the street"
Up here in the woods there is no "across the street". It's a hundred yard winding driveway to my house. No way radar is going to spy on me. My dog will set your ass to running if you get too close. Set yourself free, get out of town.
Your dog will get shot really quick. Officer "feared for his life".
Then you will get a ticket for an unleashed dog
Sounds an awful lot like a Ruby Ridge scenario.
Sammy Weaver didn't care much for that us marshal when the marshal shot his dog.
Things escalated quickly at that point.
Seems like those would be easy to defeat.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask what that depth of scanning in those devices does to the living organism?!!!
But hey?.... After Fukushima and everything else we have done with the use of banned ordnance depleted uranium, white phosphorous and cluster munitions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Ukraine our health is pretty much of an afterthought anyway!
I like that the mainstream is reporting on this since I read about it a couple years ago at prisonplanet.
How close to your house do they need to be in order to use one of those voyeuristic devices?
Not sure how effective this would be for daily surveillance. It is still annoying to see devices employed to potentially exploit rather than save lives. Believe the technology they are referring to in this article is the Range-R:
