Motorists llegally Detained at Florida Tolls – For Using Large Bills!

WTSP.com By Mike Deeson March 3rd, 2011

Tampa, Florida –Meet Joel Chandler, who just paid his $1.00 toll on the Polk Parkway with a $100 bill, he is not allowed to leave unless he provides personal info to the toll taker. The toll taker tells Chandler this is what happens when they get large bills. She says this is what they have to do.

Chandler says to the toll taker, “So I’m being detained?” She says yes sir.

It is a policy the Florida Turnpike authority instituted for people who paid with $20, $50 or $100 bills. After it happened once, Chandler kept testing the system and taped his encounters as he went through the toll booths. One time a toll taker told him, she wouldn’t give him his change unless he gave her the information. Chandler replied, “So I’m being detained.” He asked why he was being detained but never got an answer. Chandler says this is a serious criminal offense, to detain someone without proper legal authority. He says that is exactly what the department is doing. Read Entire Article

Interpol issues global alert on Gaddafi & 15 others

by Infowars Ireland

Lyon, FRANCE (AlArabiya.net) – Interpol has issued a global alert known as an Orange Notice against Colonel Moammar Gaddafi and 15 other Libyan nationals, including members of his family and close associates, the international police organization said on Friday.

The move is aimed at warning member states of the danger posed by the movement of these individuals and their assets and to assist member states in their efforts to enforce sanctions under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970 (2011), and to support Interpol’s assistance to the International Criminal Court investigation into alleged crimes against humanity in Libya.

With the U.N. Security Council referring recent events in Libya to the International Criminal Court and calling on all states and concerned international organizations to co-operate fully with the Prosecutor and the Court in this matter, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said: “Interpol’s constitution provides a clear mandate for the widest cooperation among law enforcement authorities in its member countries, within the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the prevention of serious human rights abuses.”

“As a first priority, we must work to protect the civilian populations of Libya and of any country into which these Libyan individuals may travel or attempt to move their assets,” said Noble.

“If member states are expected to implement effectively the travel ban and asset freeze against the named individuals in order to prevent serious criminal conduct and abuse of human rights, they will need instant access to hard data. Interpol’s secure global communications system and databases will give them access to the information on which to act. The ICC Prosecutor will also need secure options for gathering and sharing information relevant to his investigation which Interpol can provide,” he said. Read more…

Prince Andrew’s friendship with billionaire paedophile

by Infowars Ireland

Former Scotland Yard royalty protection chief: ‘Prince Andrew is bringing the royal family into disrepute’

By Fay Schlesinger, Stephen Wright and Tom Leonard Daily Mail 5th March 2011

Prince Andrew has promised to sever his controversial links with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duke of York has finally admitted that meeting the disgraced billionaire recently was ‘unwise’ and has ruled out further visits to the Florida mansion where Epstein sexually exploited underage girls.

In a warning that may have come from the Queen, the duke’s aides have advised him that his continued association with the paedophile risked damaging the reputation of the monarchy.

Now the humiliated duke, the fourth in line to the throne, has backed down and cut ties with Epstein, 58, in the hope that he can draw a line under the sordid association.

An impeccably-placed source said yesterday: ‘The duke recognises now that the meeting in December 2010, after Epstein’s conviction, was unwise.’

It was not clear last night if Andrew, a UK trade envoy, has acted before fresh revelations about the friendship are made public. Read more…

Mother arrested for filming her kids in the tub

by Infowars Ireland

thelocal.se 04 Mar 2011

A Swedish woman was arrested on child pornography suspicions after she filmed her two young children taking a bath in an effort to prove they had been sexually abused by their father.

“This is completely absurd. The woman was concerned for her children’s safety and this is how it’s turned out. It’s a tragedy,” children’s rights advocate Monica Dahlström-Lannes told The Local.

The woman at the heart of the case, which was first reported by the Aftonbladet newspaper, separated from the children’s father in the summer of 2008.

Since then, the couple shared custody of the two children, a four-year-old son and five-year-old daughter.

Last year, however, the children started acting in a sexually suggestive manner, prompting the woman to suspect that they may have been sexually abused by their father.

While she reported the matter to police, the investigation was dropped due to lack of evidence.

“That’s when my lawyer advised me to film the children, in order to show the police how they were behaving,” the concerned mother told Aftonbladet.

The mother filmed the children when they were taking a bath and then showed the movie to officials from the local social services department (socialförvaltningen) before handing it to the police.

The next day she was arrested on suspicion of child pornography. Read more…

U.S. citizen strip- searched, left naked, and held for 16 days without being charged

Daily Mail March 5, 2011

A Muslim man who endured weeks of humiliation in jail before being released without charge is taking his fight to the Supreme Court.

U.S. Citizen Abdullah al-Kidd, who was detained in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, claims he was strip-searched repeatedly, left naked in a jail cell and showered for more than 90 minutes in view of other men and women.

He said he was also routinely transported in handcuffs and leg irons – which a federal marshall refused to remove so he could use the bathroom – and kept with people who had been convicted of violent crimes.

Texas Plans to Implement REAL ID in 2013

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com March 4, 2011

Tela Mange, Chief of Media Relations at Texas Department of Public Safety, has responded to an Infowars.com request for information on the state’s implementation of REAL ID.

The REAL ID Act was enacted by Congress on May 11, 2005, without significant debate. It modifies U.S. federal law pertaining to security, authentication, and issuance procedures standards for state driver’s licenses and ID cards.

In response to numerous states resisting compliance, the federal government has extended the deadline several times. In 2007, Maine and Utah led the way in passing resolutions refusing implementation.

Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington have joined Maine and Utah in passing legislation opposing Real ID.

Similar resolutions are pending in Alaska, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

See National ID and the REAL ID Act at the Electronic Privacy Information Center for more details.

According to Mange, the timeframe for implementation in Texas has changed to January 15, 2013. “DPS is planning to follow the standards established to ensure that we issue secure credentials,” she wrote in an email.

“There are no new biometric requirements,” she added in a follow-up email.

On March 1, 2007, the Department of Homeland Security issued a NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) for the Real ID Act that detailed the minimum data elements required. It did not require a state to include biometric technology in its driver’s licenses.

Mange was contacted after she was quoted by CNET News. “We’re still reading the fine print,” she said in response to a question about the status of the law and its implementation in Texas.

REAL ID was in the news this week after House Republican sent a letter to DHS boss Janet Napolitano. The republicans said that “any further extension of Real ID threatens the security of the United States.”

Unless Homeland Security grants an extension, the law’s requirements take effect on May 11, CNET notes. According to reports, DHS is considering pushing back the deadline a further 21 months to January 15, 2013.

Reps. Lamar Smith, Peter King, and Jim Sensenbrenner argued in the letter that federal criminal charges of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction against Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari in Texas make implementation of the law even more necessary. “The goal of the REAL ID Act is to prevent another 9/11-type attack by disrupting terrorist travel,” they argue.

Case presents court with questions about federal powers of detention

MICHAEL DOYLE Kansas City Star March 5, 2011

A Kansas native faces a tough road Wednesday when he seeks Supreme Court approval to sue former Attorney General John Ashcroft over war-on-terror tactics.

The man born as Lavoni T. Kidd and now known as Abdullah al-Kidd wants recompense from Ashcroft for having been detained in 2003 as a “material witness” in another anti-terror investigation.

A lower court gave al-Kidd the go-ahead. The highest court probably won’t.

The Sacramento Police Department will soon have more eyes on the streets.

They’re going to be partnering with public and private entities to tap directly into existing surveillance cameras across the city.

Officers say this will allow them to get to surveillance video more quickly.

Amplify’d from www.usatoday.com

Thomas Frank USA Today March 4, 2011

The Homeland Security Department paid contractors millions of dollars to develop and study surveillance systems that could covertly track pedestrians and check under people’s clothing with airport-style body scanners as they enter train stations, bus depots or major events, newly released documents show.

Two contracts the department signed in 2005 and 2006 were part of its effort to acquire technology to find suicide bombers in a crowd of moving people, according to documents given to the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a privacy-rights group that is suing Homeland Security.

The department dropped the projects in a “very early” phase after testing showed flaws, Homeland Security spokesman Bobby Whithorne says.

EPIC lawyer Ginger McCall says the project is disturbing nonetheless because it shows the department “obviously believed that this level of surveillance is acceptable when in fact it is not at all acceptable.”

States Rebeling Against TSA: Texas The Latest To Legislate For Banning Grope-Downs, Naked Scanners

Tenth Amendment allows for local governments to regulate airports

Steve Watson Infowars.com March 4, 2011

Legislation has been introduced into the Texas House of Representatives that directly challenges the authority of the TSA in airports within the state, specifically aimed at criminalizing the use of naked body scanners and enhanced pat-downs.

Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview) introduced a set of bills earlier this week that would empower the Texas Attorney General to bring suit in court against any airport operator who installs or uses the full body imaging equipment or any operator who touches a person without consent and searches them without probable cause.

The bills, HB 1938 and HB 1937 would see criminal and civil penalties handed out to any TSA worker who was found to have contravened the laws.

HB 1938 reads in part:

(b) An airport operator may not allow body imaging scanning equipment to be installed or operated in any airport in this state.

(c) An airport operator commits an offense if the operator fails to comply with Subsection (b).

(d) An airport operator who commits an offense under Subsection (c) is subject to a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $1,000 for each day of the violation.

HB 1937 includes the following:

(3) as part of a search performed to grant access to a publicly accessible building or form of transportation, intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly:

(A) searches another person without probable cause to believe the person committed an offense; and

(B) touches the anus, sexual organ, or breasts of the other person, including touching through clothing, or touches the other person in a manner that would be offensive to a reasonable person.

(f) …. An offense under Subsection (a)(3) is a state jail felony.

Constitutional watchdog, The Texas Tenth Amendment Center noted that “the Texas legislature stands on solid ground. Local governments control airports and no enumerated power in the Constitution gives the federal government the authority to regulate them. Under the Tenth Amendment, airport operation falls under state jurisdiction.”

Texas, and in particular Austin, has been at the forefront of the revolt against the TSA since it began increasing its presence in airports some eighteen months ago. In December, Austin’s Airport Advisory Commission approved a resolution advising the city council to oppose airport body scanners and invasive body searches.

The TSA has signaled its intention to install the scanners at Austin, but the date has continually been put back, with the agency saying it could now be as late as 2012 before the devices are activated.

Texas is the latest state to introduce anti-TSA legislation, as a growing number seek to revolt against the federal government’s enhanced presence in airports and other transport hubs.

Earlier this week, New Hampshire introduced legislation that would classify the TSA’s use of enhanced pat-downs as sexual assault, punishable in the same way as other sexual offenses.

House Bill 628-FN, co-sponsored by both sides of the political spectrum would classify “the touching or viewing with a technological device of a person’s breasts or genitals by a government security agent without probable cause a sexual assault.”

Any government worker found guilty of such an offense would be classified as “tier III offenders under the criminal offenders registry” should the bill be passed.

“Let’s put their name on the sex offender registry, and maybe that will tell them New Hampshire means business,” stated cosponsor Rep. Andrew Manuse (D-Derry). Cosponsor Rep. George Lambert (R-Litchfield) stated that “we should charge (agents) every single time” they assault passengers with a pat down or naked body scan.

A number of other lobby groups, state and local authorities around the country have also resolved to either block the body scanners or kick the TSA out of airports altogether, including New Jersey, where Republican state Senator Mike Doherty has vowed to push for legislation that will ban both the scanners as well as invasive groping techniques.

“It is with great sadness that I have come to recognize that one of our greatest threats has been presented by officials of the TSA who have begun to implement intrusive searches of law abiding Americans who are traveling within our borders.” Doherty has said.

“I am drafting new legislation that will make it perfectly clear that in New Jersey, our Constitutionally granted civil liberties are treasured and will be protected. I am calling upon my colleagues in the Legislature to step up and co-sponsor legislation that will protect the rights of citizens in New Jersey,” he added.

The TSA has not officially responded to the proposals in Texas and New Hampshire, however, in a speech at the American Bar Association’s (ABA) 6th Annual Homeland Security Law Institute in Washington yesterday, TSA head John S. Pistole intimated that the agency was considering completely changing its security procedures away from a “one size fits all” approach towards a more “intelligence-driven system,” that would focus on “higher-risk passengers,”

“Everyone is familiar with the current system in place that screens nearly everyone the same way,” Pistole said. “My vision is to accelerate TSA’s evolution into a truly risk-based, intelligence-driven organization in every way.” he added, without being specific about what such changes would entail.
