Surveillance planes spotted in the sky for days after West Baltimore rioting

Posted: May 7, 2015 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized

As Benjamin Shayne settled into his back yard to listen to the Orioles game on the radio Saturday night, he noticed a small plane looping low and tight over West Baltimore — almost exactly above where rioting had erupted several days earlier, in the aftermath of the death of a black man, Freddie Gray, injured in police custody.

The plane appeared to be a small Cessna, but little else was clear. The sun had already set, making traditional visual surveillance difficult. So, perplexed, Shayne tweeted: “Anyone know who has been flying the light plane in circles above the city for the last few nights?”

That was 9:14 p.m. Seven minutes later came a startling reply. One of Shayne’s nearly 600 followers tweeted back a screen shot of the Cessna 182T’s exact flight path and also the registered owner of the plane: NG Research, based in Bristow, Va.

“The Internet,” Shayne, 39, told his wife, “is an amazing thing.”

What Shayne’s online rumination helped unveil was a previously secret, multi-day campaign of overhead surveillance by city and federal authorities during a period of historic political protest and unrest.

.gov inc.is doing some evil shit-tracking people from the air-by their cellphones-read the article-all of it-read the whole thing-then think about it-any doubts about whether or not .gov in. can track every citizen’s every move? Pay attention to this…

The U.S. Marshals Service would be of particular concern because, as the Wall Street Journal reported in November, it has used cellphone-tracking devices called “IMSI catchers” in airplanes to track the movements of people in U.S. cities. But the Marshals Service said it had no planes in Baltimore last weekend.

FBI spokesman Christopher Allen declined to comment on whether the bureau had planes in the Baltimore area last weekend, but he said the bureau had not used “cell-site simulators” — the FBI’s term for the IMSI catchers — in any operation related to the recent unrest in that city.

On Wednesday, the FBI released a statement, saying: “The aircraft were specifically used to assist in providing high-altitude observation of potential criminal activity to enable rapid response by police officers on the ground. The FBI aircraft were not there to monitor lawfully protected first amendment activity, and any FBI aviation support to a local law enforcement agency must receive high level approvals.”

Any doubts?
