When Government Causes the Problems They Want to Protect You From: Frock Cameras are dangerous

I’ve had many people try to convince me that the upcoming Liberty Township Police Levy, which will be voted for in the March primary election, is something I should support. I have a lot of friends who are in government who really think things like police are essential to the viability of a community, and the more police you have, the better your community. My argument is that I have seen too much abuse from this local group, and I don’t see them with enough to do. When I see the police in my community, they are sitting in their cars because there isn’t much to do on radio calls. My argument is that I can understand a few police officers for a community our size, but that the 30-40 they propose, along with a lot of administrative staff, is too expensive and isn’t worth the money. But that’s not even the worst of it. I have seen enough over these last few years to give me a lot of pause on any government expansion, especially after Covid. When the police say they are there to help and to keep our community safe, we have found that the most dangerous element we deal with is government radicalism. And during Covid, we came close to checkpoints of health enforcement and door-to-door raids for nongovernment compliance. And when you have some loser like Biden in the White House, I’m not too keen to hire the people who would be most likely to harass me. And yes, on Christmas Day this year, I came close to a swatting situation where police had gathered in front of my home, looking like they were preparing for a raid until I went out and engaged them, which was when they drove off. In this political environment, especially, more government workers do not make sense.

The corruption of law enforcement is horrendous

And with the same kind of zeal that communities are always asking for more police, we have had frock cameras imposed upon us, always with good intent. But that’s how it always starts: the need for safety and security. In case you haven’t noticed, and I have, cameras are all over our communities these days, especially in Fairfield, even in West Chester, and areas outside of the I-275 loop around Cincinnati. The cameras we are told are there for our safety, to record the comings and goings of cars in our neighborhoods that can track them in case something happens. And who doesn’t want an always eye in the sky to record a license plate number for a hit and run? The argument for the cameras is that they are always watching and will keep us safe from criminals who roam around at night looking for soft targets to harass. Yet all that sounds good until you realize that all this nonsense is code words for lazy police work and the building of an extensive government network that can track everything you do at all hours of the day. I have been involved in fighting back against these cameras in a couple of different places since about a decade ago when they were first introduced. One argument in Lincoln Heights was in partnership with WLW radio, where police were giving people tickets in the mail for speeding along that corridor of I-75. And again, at the toll bridge in Louisville, Kentucky, toll fines were mailed to people just for driving across the bridge. There were no toll booths to pay; they just took a picture of your license plate and sent you the bill in the mail. It was pretty scandalous then, but it has become common practice over the years. That’s how they do it in Florida, around the Orlando area. I tried to pay the toll at a toll booth, and the stupid cameras still sent me a bill. Technology has been introduced to cover up lazy police work and employee engagement.

It’s a trick being used more and more against political enemies

It always starts with the pitch from some tech firm that has a new technology or a vaccine for a virus that the government hasn’t yet made in a lab in China under the direction of Dr. Fauci and other expert class malcontents. And good-intentioned people like local trustees start nodding their heads yes to the promise of more security for their communities. That is until you realize that many of the dangers in our communities are caused by government, such as the current lousy border policy by the Biden administration, which has allowed criminals and cutthroats of all kinds from drug cartels to roam freely and violate our safety. The government causes problems with terrible political policy, and then they turn to more government intrusion to cover up all their mistakes. We end up paying for all of it and, in the process, lose vast amounts of our freedoms. And they sell it to us by saying, “We would never abuse our power,” and one day, you are getting a bill in the mail for that traffic light you went through as it turned from yellow to red a bit too quickly. The frock cameras give police a chance to enforce the law from some rec room somewhere doing even less because A.I. and these cameras are doing most of the work for them. It always starts with good intentions and ends in more tyranny and abuses of power.

Do you really want people like this watching your every move, where you go and when, and with whom?

It’s not hypothetical; we saw it happen when an out-of-control government panicked by some global health police decided to shut down our communities and “shelter in place.”  When DeWine did that in Ohio, I ignored him and conducted my life.  Luckily, at that time, I knew the sheriff of my community and knew he was not in agreement with the governor and wasn’t going to enforce the unjust lockdown policies, which came straight from a globalist loser by the name of Richard Hatchett, who started that mess.  A lot of political figures were suckered into enforcing unconstitutional laws.  If such a thing happened again, the cameras that were set up for our security would be there to tell on us every time we left our driveway, making it all too easy for a centralized authority to punish us for violating the mandate of a prominent government governor out of control and power hungry.  What started as good intentions for safety and security has become an ominous tyrant we can never turn off or escape.  Our local law enforcement suddenly isn’t the cops we know in our community but is A.I. in some data bank at the NSA who is plotting our every move and reporting it to our foreign and domestic enemies who are openly trying to overthrow the Constitution of the United States with international law.  And it all starts with more police levies and politicians who get suckered into saying yes to frock cameras.  It all sounds fine until you have to pay for it all, and you lose your freedoms for some greater good, as it’s determined by communists in the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization, which directly created our policies at the CDC and were enforced with authority by the Biden administration.  By putting up the cameras, the loss of local control of your law enforcement goes away, and soon, outside forces are watching your every move from any place on the planet.  And if you violate some policy they come up with on the back of a napkin, they’ll have the evidence that you did so for them to prosecute.  And at that point, you are a slave to their system of vile tyranny.  Yeah, no thanks.  I’m not supporting the Liberty Township Police Levy or their stupid frock cameras.  I think many people will be unfortunately suckered into voting for it.  And I’m sure everyone will regret it later.

Vote No on the Liberty Township Police Levy on March 19th, 2024: There is nothing more dangerous than bored cops with a lot of power

No, I’m not voting for more money to go to the police in the Liberty Township Police levy that everyone is voting for on March 19th. If President Trump were talking to me, I’m sure he would say, “back the blue.” And most people, especially where I live, will support the police no matter what they ask for, really beyond rationality. But I’m not one who falls for the whole “they run into danger when we run out” diatribe. If the police want my help, anytime, I’d be happy to do anything dangerous that they are asked to do. I could tell them right now where all the drug dealers are. I know where most of the scum bags live. And where a lot of the crime is of a general nature, and I would love to be deputized to bust all those losers, if that was the actual game everyone was into. I’m not a “no cop” guy by any means. We need them in society, but to what level? I’ve lived in Liberty Township, Ohio, longer than most people have been alive, and we’ve managed quite well when we had next to no police presence at all. What makes a society safe is good people, not more unionized cops. So when the police ask for a 3.3. mill levy I think they are only worth the .3 to me. If you want a couple of cops to fill out paperwork when there is an accident or something, then fine. But do we need 40 cops full-time and a bunch of bureaucratic leadership? I don’t think so, especially after my experiences with them, which I talked about on Christmas morning of 2023 when it looked like I was about to get swatted and had to run them off from gathering in front of my house. They said they were there just killing time and dispersed. But I’ve seen a lot of that behavior out of the police in my area, and I think from my experience that we’d be better off without them. I’d rather have volunteer law enforcement, which I could get excited about. I don’t want another expansion of a government union because they are too expensive and often too lazy.

Everywhere I go, at all hours of the day, I see these police officers sitting around looking for something to do, just as they did in front of my house on Christmas morning. A lot of people are more sympathetic to police sitting in front of their houses and would say, “Aren’t you happy to have the police keeping you safe while everyone is all nice and cozy in their houses?” I say no. Cops are there for the paperwork. But I could see why people who don’t know how to shoot guns or are timid personalities would want to hire out their safety to a bunch of people who should be spending their time on a diet plan. Most of these guys have had a Twinkie too many and don’t represent the best the human race offers. I’m not very proud of how many of them look or act. I see too many employees sitting around with very little to do, and to me, that makes for very dangerous people. There are few things more dangerous in life than a bored cop with nothing better to do than to try to make themselves look useful. Cops can get into all kinds of mischief and become detrimental to the public trust. And that is not a price worth paying for, because it often causes more trouble than they are worth in social misery.

As corrupt as it gets

But it was the Liberty Township cops from the Sheriff’s department that really dropped the ball on the administrator misconduct at Lakota schools where they rationalized away a truly dangerous situation when it came to administrators from another government union, who had stated fascination with sexual encounters with children. And when I tried to help them out, they referred to me in a police report as the “bald guy with a bullwhip,” which everyone knows about, but it was very disrespectful. They should have been busting all the administrators who showed an inclination toward child pedophilia, especially those working as employees at the school, but they brushed it off as the fantasy of adults and that the activity wasn’t illegal. They have time to sit on the side of the road and harass people for speeding and traffic violations, but they do not have the time to investigate reported and possible crimes against pedophilia properly. No wonder Mike Gmoser, the prosecutor in Butler County, had a family member involved in one of the most significant child pornographic cases that saw him get life in prison—or at least until the story cools down and he can pull some strings to get him out early. These crimes happen right in front of all these cops’ faces, and most of the time, they can be found on the side of the road playing on their phones, not doing real police work or detective work. They do all too often as they did at Lakota schools; they clean up unionized messes that might get out to the public and put caps on the story. They aren’t protecting kids. My experiences with some of these cops as they interacted with Lakota schools were embarrassing at best and not worth the money they wanted for this March 19th Levy in Liberty Township, Ohio.

The police are there to pick on people to protect political power, but when it comes to real crime, they are too busy playing on their phones.

Some police were there to enforce a corrupt law that Judge Lyons got involved in at Lakota by issuing a citation to Darbi Boddy, the famous school board member, to play their part in trying to remove her from the school board.  As Darbi reported to her elected duty to attend a meeting recently, some police were there to escort her off the property and issue her a citation that she is still dealing with.  She has another hearing on January 29th 2024, and is on her second lawyer on this grotesque abuse of power.  They threatened her with jail, which is still a possibility, and have worked to keep her away from Lakota schools to perform what she was elected to do over a phony charge that traces back to the legal firm Frost Brown and Todd and an upcoming teacher union contract negotiation.  They are tough guys to pick on a local mom while her husband serves overseas and she’s alone most of the time to defend herself.  Why would we want to pay for more people like these guys who obviously serve whatever political power has power?  If they were serving law and order, they might make a case.  But I have seen too much corruption out of this group to pay them 3 million dollars’ worth of a taxpayer’s budget.  Like my incident on Christmas morning, why would I want to fund agents of antagonization, people who would fight on behalf of my political enemies?  Because that’s what they have been doing.  Where the danger has genuinely been, they have been playing in their cars on their phones all night doing nothing.  But when there is a threat to the political order, suddenly, they are removing people like Darbi Boddy from school boards and prosecuting the innocent with their grotesque abuses of power.  No, I will be voting no on that ridiculously expensive levy.  That’s too many cops that we are paying too much to sit around and get themselves into trouble.  And I would suggest a community volunteer force instead.  It would be far more effective.
