COP WATCH
COPS NOW ABLE TO IDENTIFY YOU USING SMARTPHONES
A Florida intelligence officer admitted that undercover police were mingling with the public, using their smartphones to take videos and photos to spy on “suspicious” citizens. Then the undetected cops could determine a person’s name by checking the image against a facial recognition database. That is precisely what happened at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, according to a report from the National Journal. At this year’s Republican National Convention in Tampa, police tried out a powerful new tool that can turn officers’ smartphones into multimedia surveillance and communication platforms. Cops around the country think the use of this technology could be the wave of the future and Tampa provided what many see as a successful field test. Tools that are often featured in spy thrillers such as the Bourne Identity movies could eventually become widely available in local police stations.“The specialized applications gave law enforcement an advantage, allowing police officers to use everyday devices in a strategic and tactical way,” said Sgt. Dale Moushon, with the Intelligence Unit of the St. Petersburg Police Department, which helped bring the system to the area. Use of the network had not been publicized until now because police were wary of undermining security.

Coming soon to a St. Petersburg Fl. neighborhood near you:
An armored truck complete with gun ports that you cannot miss and that cannot miss you.Outfitted with at least four hi-resolution telephoto video cameras mounted behind bulletproof glass, pointed in all four directions and capable of peering through windows and into backyards. The exterior is wrapped in a scary design featuring very large eyeballs and the words "St. Petersburg Police," all in the department's green and gold colors. The retired armored truck was donated to the city in January, after which about $30,000 was spent refurbishing and equipping it.
