Now former federal law enforcement is working with garbage collectors creating a program called "Waste Watch." The idea of Waste Watch is for waste disposal professionals, garbage collectors, to snitch on their clients in the same way the Department of Homeland Security is begging you at Walmart to snitch out your neighbors.
While all this may sound like a noble cause, it is reinforcing the police state mentality that is sweeping through the United States and threatening rights. It's plugging normal citizens into the Big Brother grid, whether it be an iPhone ap like Patriot or DriveMeCrazy or encouraging shoppers at Walmart or garbage men to report to federal authorities. It's the same mentality that directs people to a line with TSA agents at an airport or police officers at a DUI checkpoint hoping you will surrender information without considering your Constitutional rights. Condition people to give up information without thinking about the consequences to your freedom.
Now remember, this is all being encouraged by a government who recently listed in reports doing such simple things as standing up for pro-life causes or flying a Gadsden Flag are enough to begin profiling you as a domestic terrorist.
Garbage men are only the next step. The nation's truck drivers and over-the-road drivers have already been asked to give a 10-4 good buddy to Janet Napolitano's Highway Watch program asking drivers to report to the federal government.
Considering this government's direction with healthcare, how long will it be before they are asking your neighbors to report you for eating a Double Quarter Pounder at McDonald's? You see, once this gets started, it puts the country on a dangerous path where the rhetoric of civic virtue begins to turn Americans against each other.
