Police State

More on getting rid of red-light and speeding cameras in Ohio.
"State Rep. Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, said the bill will prevent “cities from scamming motorists under the guise of safety.”"

Canadian Supreme Court backs warrantless cell phone searches for people arrested.

Boehner and bipartisan rulers passed a bill authorizing unlimited, warrentless spying on Americans.
"Hidden in the law is “a troubling new provision that for the first time statutorily authorizes spying on U.S. citizens without legal process,” Amash told other lawmakers.
That provision allows “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of Americans’ communications without a court order or subpoena.
That type of collection is currently allowed under an executive order that dates back to former President Reagan, but the new stamp of approval from Congress was troubling, Amash said. Limits on the government’s ability to retain information in the provision did not satisfy the Michigan Republican.
Despite Amash’s late attempt, the bill easily passed, 325-100.
The bill passed the Senate earlier this week and is now on its way to President Obama."
You know he'll sign it. More.
