The U.S. Capitol Police will begin fielding military surveillance equipment as part of sweeping security upgrades as the police force pivots towards becoming “an intelligence-based protective agency” following the Jan. 6 attack.

Defense Secretary Loyd Austin recently approved the Capitol Police’s request for eight Persistent Surveillance Systems Ground - Medium (PSSG-M) units. The system provides high-definition surveillance video and is enabled with night vision. The system does not include facial recognition capabilities, according to the Pentagon.

“This technology will be integrated with existing USCP camera infrastructure, providing greater high definition surveillance capacity to meet steady-state mission requirements and help identify emerging threats,” the Pentagon said.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ummmmm, this appears to simply be significantly improved definition plus night capability for an existing security camera network. IOW, a tempest in a teapot.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Well, they think they are our rulers.

They forgot they are our employees.

The liquor store and grocery stores half a mile from me have security cameras, probably several spread around the stores, inside and out. How is it an outrage that the US Capitol has a security camera network?

Further, while this upgrade might have resolution and night capabilities better than what is currently commercially available, those capabilities probably will be commercially available in a couple of years, and common a few years beyond that. How is US Capitol security cameras having excellent resolution and night capabilities an outrage?

The Stasi, er, FBI, also are hoping the old "rat out your neighbors" motif also will help them identify emerging threats.

They are pointed the wrong way if they want to see the threat to this nation.
