Leftwing Environmental Police State: Scanning Homes to see how people are living
Sure hope whoever came up with this loony leftwing idea never leaves Britain
"Council uses spy plane with thermal imaging camera to snoop on homes wasting energy
Our movements are already tracked by CCTV, speed cameras and even spies in dustbins.
Now snooping on the public has reached new heights with local authorities putting spy planes in the air to snoop on homeowners who are wasting too much energy.
Thermal imaging cameras are being used to create colour-coded maps which will enable council officers to identify offenders and pay them a visit to educate them about the harm to the environment and measures they can take.
Enlarge A council has spent £30,000 using a spy plane carrying a thermal camera to determine which homes are wasting energy. (File photo)
A scheme is already under way in Broadland District Council in Norfolk, which has spent £30,000 hiring a plane with a thermal imaging camera.
It said the exercise has been so successful other local authorities are planning to follow suit.
But critics have warned the crackdown was another example of local authorities extending their charter to poke their noses into every aspect of people's lives."

Do you ALWAYS have to exaggerate & mislead w/ your thread titles?
Do you feel like your arguments don't stand on their merits, so you have to embellish & lie to make a point?

"how people are living"
It's gotten so that, when I see one of your thread titles, I know I'm going to open up a link to an article that describes something that is much less than what you are trying to imply.
You do it because you want to alarm people, but it's not the truth.

What a suckass thread!
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
You lookin' at my pint?
Yes. An incredible amount of heat is generated from the lighting required for Cannabis farms often located in residential areas, which is then detected through the use of thermal imaging.

To locate grow rooms. The Supreme Court has actually said it is illegal, but police are believed to continue the practice.

IIRC, that was ruled unconstitutional unless a warrant had been obtained.
never mind, I should have continued reading before posting.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

This shite is typical of why The Daily Mail is held in such high regard in this country.
How terrible for a local council to identify poorly insulated properties and then let the householders know of government grants available to lower their increasingly expensive utility bills.
What a bunch of bastards.

DEA Pot spotting flights are a common thing here in KY. Where our largest cash crop is pot. Thermal imaging the preferred method as pot plants seem to stand out in infrared images.

BS, viewing how people use energy is seeing how they are living. How would you like it if some plane flew overhead and noticed abnormal amounts of energy being used in your bedroom? Do you want some inspector coming to your door to lecture you about responsible dildo use?
Seriously, they can see if you like to perhaps keep the heat up because someone may be sick or you have more people in your house using more energy. It's none of their goddam business. I shouldn't know how you live and you shouldn't know how I live.

I could see this being warranted if the government pays the electric bill. do they?
