Operation Bright Eyes and the subversion of the 4th Amendment

[Thor]

Cable provider Bright House Networks launched Operation Bright Eyes in 2005 in Tampa, Florida in cooperation with local and federal law enforcement agencies. So far more than 900 cable service technicians have been trained to act as the eyes and ears of the government by using tattle tale utility workers as “secret police” informing on paying customers and circumventing that pesky Fourth Amendment.

The program according to Bright House company officials has been so successful they have expanded it to Bakersfield, Orlando and Detroit in 2008. As of August 8th, 2008 Duane Brodt of Coles Marketing Communications is proud to announce the snooping program will target cable customers in Indiana.

The first Indiana launch of Operation Bright Eyes was in March after Indianapolis Metro Police Department trained more than 130 service technicians who work in Indianapolis. Two weeks later, the program launched in Carmel after Carmel Police Department trained more than 25 local service technicians. And in June, Operation Bright Eyes launched in Hendricks County following the training of nearly 25 service technicians by Brownsburg Police Department.

“Nearly 25 Bright House Networks service technicians will undergo special training Monday morning in Marion to become extra sets of eyes, ears and helping hands for Grant County residents and local law enforcement and emergency response agencies.” Says, Brodt.

These cable “spies” who receive a few hours of training are not required to notify customers that they are acting as secret informants for various government agencies. They can then act as “Confidential Informants” and with their testimony law enforcement agencies can then ask a judge for a search warrant of your home.

These government sanctioned peeping Toms are part of a larger national program called TIPS, the Terrorism Information and Prevention System the goal of the program is to recruit one million utility workers to spy on American citizens.

“Service technicians are in constant communication with our local dispatcher and with the training provided by our Grant County law enforcement agencies, they’ll know what to do and who to contact should someone need help,” said Cal Blumhorst, area manager who oversees Bright House Networks’ operations in Grant County.

So remember the next time you invite a utility worker into your home you are aiding in the illegal search of your premises and to add insult to injury you will be paying for the “privilege.”

I KNEW  that the CumCrust technicians were minions of the Dark Lord.

I guess it's a good thing that I don't have cable, don't want cable, and can fix most every problem with my end of the satellite system.  Now where's that new 56" hi-def (two-way) set that the Obama campaign sent me; I've got 500 channels of chrome plated CRAP to watch.

Does this mean I should removed the severed heads from the living room before having the U-Verse tech come out?

Are they severed human heads or severed animal heads ??

I recommend hiding your Shrine of Kali behind a very large Obama poster.  Kind of a "Shawshank Redemption" sort of hide for it.
