Police are creating a national surveillance network using COMTEC, Project Green Light etc. (Updated)
Detroit officials have been using the Macomb County Communications and Technology Center (COMTEC) to spy on everyone since 2013.
According to an article in the Macomb Daily News, law enforcement and DoT officials are using CCTV cameras to spy on everyone.
"COMTEC’s most-prominent feature is a 20-by-50 foot video wall complete with 54 70-inch individual monitors capable of displaying weather and GPS mapping; television and cable stations; live video from Road Department and Michigan Department of Transportation cameras at intersections throughout the county; siren alerts; computer displays and video conferencing."
Last month I warned everyone, that the Saginaw police are forcing business owners to pay for CCTV cameras granting them real-time access.
Saginaw police initially asked businesses to 'voluntarily' join Project Green Light. But this year things changed for the worse; law enforcement made it mandatory for businesses to pay the police to let them spy on everyone.
"The individuals who have the businesses will receive a certificate from the police department when they have been approved for their lighting and for their camera system" Saginaw Police Chief Bob Ruth said. (To find out more about Project Green Light click here & here.)
Why do police need COMTEC and Operation Green Light to spy on people?
The answer is disturbing.
Law enforcement is sneaky and is convincing the public to accept similar sounding local surveillance programs.
Below, is a list of thirty-six different types of police cam-share programs.

Jamaica adopts U.S. police cam-share program
"The national closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance program, Dubbed 'JamaicaEye,' is a public-private partnership, launched in March, designed to network CCTV cameras owned by the Ministry of National Security as well as accommodate feeds from privately-owned cameras."
Group Director, Communication and Quality Control, Guardsman Group, Lieutenant Commander, George Overton, calls for all Jamaicans to buy into the program. “I call on every citizen association, every industrial park and industrial complex, every commercial activity and almost every neighborhood watch to commit at least two cameras to this program across the island.”
He further implored business owners to purchase at least four or five cameras so that law enforcement agencies and others can do their jobs effectively. (To find out more about JamaicaEye, click here.)
COMTEC used to spy on students in real-time
Police are thrilled to spy on students and will use COMTEC to spy on them in real-time.
And if that doesn't worry you, maybe this will.
A recent article in the Macomb Daily News, reveals that all school districts openly work with the FBI, State Police and the Sheriff's Department.
Politicians are glamorizing spying on the public.
Spying on the public is exciting
Government officials are thrilled to spy on the public.
“It’s an incredible facility,” said Mark Hackel, Macomb County executive. “I call it Christmas come early; not just for us, but for the citizens of Macomb County.”
Spying on people in real-time is not an early Christmas present, it is a warning to everyone that things are getting worse.
The above examples of politicians and law enforcement working together to create local surveillance centers reveals a much broader plan.
"Boston Police Captain Tim Connolly says that eventually, with the consent of private citizens, the cameras could be patched into a citywide intelligence unit run by Boston Police to give investigators even more immediate access to video. There are already some buildings in Dorchester that are monitored by that unit, known as the BRIC— short for Boston Regional Intelligence Center."
Once cam-share programs like COMTEC, Project NOLA etc., are connected to one another they will create a national Fusion Center surveillance network that will rival China and the UK.
