Albany New York is not Baghdad. New York National Guardsmen need to remember that the United States is not a war zone and American citizens will not be subjected to police state tactics.

American Police State

The New York National Guard is providing billion dollar bomb sniffing technology and aerial surveillance to New York State Police to find pot.

Gillis says, “its basically an x-ray. If you zoom in you can see the rifle laid across the bottom.”

With a warrant, a department can request a scan. Then, with the swing of an arm, gamma rays outline the car and its skeleton.

Gillis says, “we scan anything a department might want to look at and try to identify anything they might want to check into further. That way they don’t have to rip apart the car to find something.”

This is just another attempt to justify using the United States Military against American citizens. The government and their corporate overseers are simply softening up the public to the idea that the United States Military should be used to police Americans.

This is the definition of a police state by the way. The United States Military should never be used on American soil. Martial Law will never be accepted in America!
