insurance & police states

2003-03-10 17:40:00.194733+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A few days ago, Phil and I were talking about the state of surveillance in this country, dancing around definitions of "police state". Larry has an interesting tale of insurance fraud that adds a little more fuel to the fire. When we worry about a police state, I think most of us are less worried about the police having information and knowledge than that if you give them that power they'll abuse it. That or we're all just blind to the incremental advancements.

Along those lines (well, kinda), remember the "Candyman child porn ring"? Turns out the FBI lied to get the warrants on that.
