I met a guy who did surveillance for the government.
 

He did it for years and finally quit.

He said it made him depressed as hell because 99.999% of all his time was spent
watching video of lonely guys doing absolutely nothing in their homes.
Masturbation was the only thing he could have ever "charged" anyone with.

He felt like the only reason most guys were put under surveillance was because
they arose suspicion of other people simply because they were lonely and had no
friends.

Catch-22 : How do they make friends when everyone is suspicious of them for not
having any friends?


:(

I always knew that having lots of friends is some kind of a smokescreen.

Just messing with ya, bm

Talking about government stuff, a fraternity brother of mine back in college claimed he was related to a CIA operative. Ducktales?

The bottomline is government moles/agents are people too. They have friends and families and when they get drunk or drop their guard, some funky truths come out...

Yeah, if you have a lot of friends then how can you possibly be a bad person
when so many people like you.

:1orglaugh

I'm thinking of this guy :

Cool story bro.

I met this guy in a bar so there you go.

He's legit.

You should tell that to the guy and not me asshat.

It's his story and I believe it because you don't do shit else at home except
jack off. So where's the lie?


:321GFY

sounds fabricated bro

Suit yourself.

I met him and he was sincere.

I believe every word he said because basically all he said was that guys are lonely
and jacked off.

I guess the "government surveillance" part is blowing you away as you fantasize about
some kind of James Bond scenario.

:1orglaugh

i wonder how many people are been watched right know

Ask a Muslim, they might know.

I used to play a lot of paintball. Well, at least 4 times a year. We used to play with more or less the same group of people and got to know the marshals pretty well. About 2 years ago, one of the marshals suggested we'd give airsoft a try and invited me and 3 friends to an open airsoft event.

Unlike paintball where most of the time there's a good indication that someone has been hit, airsoft purely relies on the honor system. Everyone is responsible for announcing that he's been hit. To my surprise this worked remarkably well (I was used to playing paintball where some people tend to just carry on if they don't see any paint when they get hit). There was however 1 small group of 5 people who were constantly causing trouble. They were caught cheating several times and always denied things... even when it was caught on video.

When one of my friends complained to one of the marshals we knew we, were told that those guys got some extra 'leeway' because they were cops. Later that day, when we were all eating our barbecue and most people had already had some beers, we overheard those 5 assholes bragging about things they had done recently. About how a couple of crates of champagne that had been stolen and they recovered never made it back to their rightful owner but ended up in their own trunk. About how one of them confiscated a ball from kids playing in the park "because the kids were too loud" and how his own kids now have " a new ball". And all 5 of them seemed to think that was all really funny. :(

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

.

There are good people and bad people, but I've definitely heard stories like that. They seem to see it as, if you have no power, you have no rights. People like that always get it from above.

hmm how they get the cameras into people's homes?

thanks for another fantastical story. very funny. ha ha.

That's pretty uncool of them.

Free champagne & a ball, hardcore.

How did he surveil them?

Hidden camera, microphone and phone tap.

He also mentioned, but didn't go into detail, that he would be able to
watch people by setting up shop in a building/house etc next to the
suspect. He didn't explain how that worked.

This is nothing new. I can't believe the number of people in this thread who
think this cannot happen. Naive fools they must be.

Everybody say Marion Barry smoke crack in a hotel room and somehow they must think that this procedure is only used on government officials or something.

How do people think this video was made. Do they think it was an re-enactment of
the event filmed in Hollywood? :1orglaugh

The cops put hidden cameras in the hotel room.
The cops will also get a warrant and break into a suspects home and plant
devices if they think they need to.

It's really insane that some people don't believe this happens, yet it's how
we catch mobsters all the time.

They wait for the guy to go to work and then break in.

You're a fucking idiot.

Sounds familiar

heat imaging?

More like drills and micro cams.

Actually not sure about the drill thing, wouldn't that leave dust.. . I mean you could vacuum the hole but pretty easy to notice.

Most likely they break in and jam the unit in a lamp or whatever as blackmonsters said.

i can read a book and increase my intelligence some more but you can never change being funny ha ha.

That's what I was thinking but I don't know if that's very good.

I don't think this guy was making it up.
He was around 55 years old and pretty stable acting.


.

i believe it's very good.. i remember talking about it several years ago and at that point they were building vehicles that were able to drive through neighbourhoods and spot grow ops etc

What you have stated is so profound that I'm going to have those exact words
tattooed under my scrotum.

:thumbsup

Oh hell yeah they can spot a grow op. No problem!

I wish I could find the story where a farmer decided to grow weed underground
and was busted because a surveillance plane caught the image of his grow operation
even though it was underground.

Looking at other people JRKING SESSIONS, must be cool as hell!

I was doing jury duty on a big drug case. The feds where watching the guys with a video cameras built inside there cable TV boxes behind the remote controls IR windows.

infrared cameras on the bird

Yep, people better believe it.

Bottom line : If the Feds have a hard-on for you then you have no rights at all until
you get arrested. Then you get the right to an attorney.

:D Came to think of myself... I have a total of 8 years in the military, two periods. I live in northern europe. Well, once, between service, I was sitting at home drinking and surfing military websites. Got very drunk.... Woke up next morning, thinking "Wow, I got drunk last night".
Normally the story would stop there, but... A couple of weeks later I got an email from the CIA: Thank you for your interest. Please contact your local recruitment office"....... Woot??? Took me a few hours to think there might be an connection with that drunken night....

Checking my Sent mail folder, and yes... There it was, some email I sent, asking for a job as a spy somewhere. Some place where there was action :1orglaugh Man, I was embarrassed :1orglaugh

Got back into service and got my action, but not with the CIA :)

Wonder if they have me on a mailing list, just in case they need a cowboy :1orglaugh

Never underestimate the government's ability to steal, kills, cheat, lie, and destroy in the name of SECURITY and FREEDOM (Freedom for others, slavery for others)

That's just part of human nature. For some to win, they feel others have to necessarily lose.

I'm thinking of buying a food processor, and maybe making some creamy soups this winter...

Okay, I just ordered this one. It's my first one, so I didn't want to spend a fortune...

They can see the heat as it leaves the grow op, nothing else.

The police business is mostly boring and routine work, with occasional short spurts of adrenaline and sheer hell. The intel business is similar, lots and lots of ore --and small amounts of gold.
