Anaheim police routinely scour city records of families receiving federal rental assistance to look for links to crime suspects, a practice that critics say amounts to placing the poor under illegal surveillance.
The Anaheim Housing Authority is the only rental assistance agency in Orange County that shares its files – names, Social Security numbers, addresses – with police, as part of the agency’s effort to enforce program rules. However, legal experts and community activists say such broad access to housing records violates federal law.U.S. Code Section 1437z of Title 42 states that police can request data only on specific individuals who are fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody and confinement; are violating probation or parole; or have information necessary to law enforcement. Police must provide the housing authority with the name of the individual being sought.
“As you can see, (the law) is tailored to avoid this kind of fishing expedition,” said Richard Marcantonio, head attorney for The Public Advocates, a San Francisco law firm that represents the poor.
After being contacted by The Orange County Register, officials at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which funds the program, said the agency would review Anaheim’s practice.

They’ll review it… decide it’s not illegal… and then recommend nationwide enforcement.

if we the people would just reclaim our “sovereign citizenship” things of this nature could never happen, because as is stands as of right now if you have not reclaimed your “sovereign citizenship” you have no rights no declaration of independence rights, amendment rights, or any other right for that matter, THIS IS FACT that has been proven in the courts time after time,the only thing you have is 14th amendment privileges which can be given or taken at any time by the grantee.
see now i know that many of you think its just a null adhesion contract that was voided by the state or federal government abuse, but that is simply not the case, because as long as whatever is being done is being done to a people who have a “birth certificate” no matter what it is, they can do it with the backing of the courts because the grantees are sovereign people who are making things, and restricting things from a non- sovereign people, within a sovereign state, within a united corporation. and so, by reclaiming your sovereign citizenship, it restores all the rights that you where given at birthright by the state in which your born. the sovereign people would be able to make decision with the full backing of the declaration of independence, and the amended rights which where exchanged for “privileges” through adhesion contracts, please i challenge anyone who does not believe me or think im in left field about this to research, so you can see for yourself that what i speak of is FACT. please people it is the only other way then revolution to make the government get back into its proper smaller place working the the People!!!
TO ALL THOSE BORN IN AMERICA, PLEASE RECLAIM YOUR SOVEREIGN CITIZENSHIP, INDIVIDUALLY DRAW THE LINE IN THE SAND, SO WE THE PEOPLE CAN MAKE THE PUSH!!!
IF YOU ARE TO TAKE PLACE IN THE BATTLE OVER FREEDOM IN THE TRUE SENSE YOU CAN NOT, AND SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY PRIVILEGE OR GRANT FROM THE OPPOSING FORCE, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT ACCEPTING ANYTHING FROM OPPOSING FORCE/CORPERATION IS LABELED AS “TREASON, OR DOUBLE AGENT” THE SAD THING IS, IS THAT MOST WHO ARE, DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE. WAKE UP!!WAKE UP!!!! RECLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS GIVEN TO at BIRTH, BY THE STATE IN WHICH YOU WHERE BORN!!!!!!!!!!

This is nothing new… as a teenager just hanging out on the streets and classed as a gangmember by LAPD. They tried to have my Grandmother evicted from a public housing project because they said I was a “gangmember”, which was anyone they chose to label one, not by proving it. This was 20 years ago… nothing new.

And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner
We can’t pay the cost
‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

Well, you know that most terrorists are muslim, a stereotype which makes perfect sense. It only makes sense to monitor the poor because they fit into the stereotype of thieves and violent offenders. You don’t go lookin’ for a fire in an pond, you look for it where it is likely to happen.

This is somewhat disinformation. There is lower level police that have to go through the motions of official requests from the housing authorities for information but at higher levels this is not required. Their is a convergance of datastreams that takes place with all government records that higher policing have access to. Its not unlike seen on the holywood pentagon propaganda series 24, only we are the terrorists. They have extensive psychological profiles(dossier’s), on all of us, we the people are their enemy they believe, that is why we all have security risk assessment scores.

Of course they always have bullshit justifications for doing these things but we all know the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.

Although I do believe that the poor are being practiced on to see how many rights they can violate without coming under scrutiny and anyone saying anything. IF they can get away with it for the demonized class of poor people then they will move onto their next class of people.

My father as I was growing up had a sign in our family room which read
” Poverty is No Crime” which was meant as a joke because we were middle class.
Apparently, poverty IS a crime !
( My father grew up dirt poor in Iowa and worked his butt off to get to where he was ).
Yes; poor people are the cause of all crime. ( tongue firmly jammed in cheek ).
Let’s round up all of the poor people, put them in FEMA camps and gas them to rid the earth of useless eaters. That is what the NWO power elites want to do as we all know. To save the earth as well of course! Poor people are just a burden to society! ( I am being sarcastic needless to say ).

I want to add that I just temporarily disowned my best friend, an Iraq veteran because I can see the yearn he and his ex-vet buddies to shoot anyone who gets in their way. Apparently ex-soldiers think putting loaded .40 Glocks to your face is somehow exciting. Sigh, I dunno what the fuck the military has poisoned these people with. Never ask a recent vet (as in the last 2 years) how many kills they had unless you want a beating and threatening about shutting up because of their connections… I sure hope more soldiers say fuck it and disobey their superiors who violate the constitution. That’s a soldier, not just some trigger happy veteran in serious need of a psychologist and large doses of marijuana.

crooked cops………….the whole vice squad in Detroit is being investigated for all kinds of illegal activity > taking money to turn there heads, tampering with evidence, false arrest…being a cop is ego lifting-most love bulling they get to do………they are above the law……….they know they can get away with just about anything………….judges beleive them before they will you.Like when you get a traffic ticket for speeding-might as well pay the fine as to fight the ticket. I know I will never sit on a jury again without prejudice.Im sure there are some good cops out there!!!

This post is going to be unpopular. However, if you recieve your subsistance from the Gov the Gov be your daddy and they have a right/obligation to monitor you. If you live free and totally self sufiecient, then the Gov has NO right to monitor anything abut you or your behaviour untill your behaviour adversely affects others rights.

Dear Mac-101:
I understand what you mean but do you think the Gov cares to make the distinction?
One level slurs into the next. They start with the vulnerables and move onto you.
I see little security in rationalizing it. You are not wrong but it may not keep you “safe”.
None of us are going to be safe eventually. It is planned to collapse the Constitution and take over this land. There is too much money and power not to do it, from their point of view. Most of us will give up and a few will just get shot really fast and that will be that. It will happen so fast even Alex Jones may not have time to get out of bed and I like him a lot by the way. I might get caught with my pants down too. We all like to think that we will fight “when the shit hits the fan” well we just lost our shit when 911 happened, Katrina, etc We are just too soft. We have no history of real war tragedy or partisan fighting here. Just look at what folks do when it snows; they crowd the supermarkets and buy milk and bread….ok! Revolution Now! no…..
