In Flex We Trust » Drug Dealers Caught On Google Street View!!!

New York police have arrested a gang of drug dealers after they were photographed by Google’s Street View mapping service.

The drug dealers were caught selling heroin and marijuana outside a grocery store in Brooklyn, New York when they were photographed by Street View.

The police had began their operation after local residents complained that the gang had turned the neighbourhood into a drug market.

The police mounted a surveillance operation on the street and made 20 drug-related purchases from the gang before making a move. When they arrested a drug dealer, the police found 20 vials of heroin in his basement and a large amount of marijuana. They also discovered a packaging lab.

Google’s Street View, which has been criticised by many as a useful tool for burglars, is quickly gaining a reputation for helping police with their enquiries. In the UK, the police are already using an image taken by a Street View car of a man considered to be the prime suspect of a caravan theft.

If you think that type of shyt is ok, ur a fool. Say goodby to all the thing you knew to be savrite & private.Its funny how they use poor people as examples of how that survailence approach works to capture small drug dealers in our hoods but DON’t USE IT TO CATCH THE DRUGS BEFORE THEY REACH OUR HOODS! Ronald Regan & Oliver North are to date the biggest dope dealers of our nations history! Can you say Contra Affair? & why do we support google or anyone else who would assist anyone that wants to erode ur civil rights? We pay for enertaiment services(T.V., phone co.,internet etc.) that spit in ur face everyday & you do nothing! If you think that’s ok then ur the type who dosent vote or just a lunitic hateful Republican, either way it’s ur complacency that allows these thing 2 occur

Well spoken darryl. You took the words right outta my mouth. That’s the truth. People should be very weary of this type of occurance because all it shows us is evidence that the same technological advances we praise for putting an end to petty drug dealers will one day be the same technological advances that will be responsible for imprisoning everyday american citizens in the hundreds of concentration camps that are currently under construction in the US, for merely speaking out against the wrongs of the Government! That reality seems far fetched but is a lot closer than most of us care to think. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!!!

First off that’s unconstutional ….and second off that’s “BIG BROTHER” at it’s finest….We need to start protesting this type of blatant control of our society…Im not saying drug dealing and other crimes shouldnt be monitored….But when ur being watched (spied on by the government) that’s a violation of our civil rights as U.S. citizens and unfortunately that’s the times we live in?

Wow Darryl, you are a misinformed fool.
I would like to explain why, but you probably wouldn’t understand.

Darryl and King James- Although u make some good points, your arguments are hard to take seriously when they are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. Use spellcheck next time because you have a tenuous grasp of the english language.

P.S.
The government is not building concentration camps. Thats retarded.
