Police state shenanigans

2025-12-08 20:55:21.632994+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Whoah: Houston Chronicle: A mysterious Texas surveillance network told police to search his truck. Watch how it went wrong. Texas cops making up bullshit excuses for traffic stops in order to try to frame people is hardly news. Doing so on the basis of WhatsApp chats using information from sooper s3kr1t information centers allegedly doing behavior analysis is next level creepy.

Formed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, fusion centers are federally recognized, state-run intelligence-gathering hubs where police from local, state and federal organizations team up to gather and distribute intelligence. Texas boasts eight of the secretive facilities, more than any other state. In court filings, Bexar County said the Schott intelligence came from “the Laredo Fusion Center” — a location not on any official list.
