Local police can now take a single fingerprint from a suspect at a roadside
arrest and find out in minutes from a new FBI computerized national crime
database whether the person is wanted, rather than waiting hours, days
or longer, that the old FBI system took. The FBI just launched its
new National Crime Information Center 2000. The new system now has
the ability to automatically process fingerprints and mugshots. It
also contains the information about wanted people, criminal histories,
missing and deported people, stolen guns, vehicle license plates, stocks,
boats, and "other" articles. Now a police officer in a station or
squad car in the field can put a suspect's index finger into a small reader
that transmits the print by radio to the FBI NCIC 2000 computers in Clarksburg,
W. Va. Within minutes, the NCIC computer automatically without
any action by FBI employees checks the single fingerprint against 250,000
fingerprints in the FBI's file of fugitives and wanted persons. The
answer pops out in minutes. If the print identifies the suspect as
someone who is wanted, the NCIC 2000 computer not only relays the result
to local police but also sends a mugshot of the wanted person.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
Property Rights
Sam Aurelius Milam III
While
I was studying with the Constitutional Patriots, I was exposed to the theory
that the government owns us, that we are actually and literally property.
There were probably various things to which advocates of this theory pointed
in its defense, but I recall two items in particular.
The
first item is our parents' marriage license. It is, according to
advocates of the theory, a grant of the authority to produce children.
The marriage is equivalent to a licensed business or a chartered corporation.
It's created by government, empowered to do certain things, and prohibited
from doing other things. It can be terminated only by the government.
Children produced without the benefit of the license are "illegitimate",
equivalent to a counterfeit product produced by a company not authorized
to produce it.
The
second item is our birth certificate. It is, according to advocates
of the theory, exactly the equivalent of a title for a car or a deed for
a piece of land. It's issued by the government. It uniquely
identifies the named individual and testifies to the individual's origin
and authenticity. The party that holds the certificate owns the property
described on it. The government holds your birth certificate.
Neither you nor any other person can legally obtain possession of it.
I
still haven't decided if this theory is entirely valid. However,
it certainly explains a lot of the government's behavior. If the
government owns us, then it has a legitimate reason to act without our
consent to protect, utilize, and dispose of us. There are many examples
of such behavior.
The
government does many things to protect us, either without our consent or
against our will. As children, we're compelled to receive vaccinations.
We're prevented from consuming substances or using products which the government
believes might harm us. We're required to use crash helmets, seat
belts, safety glasses, and so forth. If the government doesn't own
us, then it isn't justified in such behavior. If it does, then it
can act to protect its property.
The
government also acts as if it has the right to use us for its own profit.
We're both compelled and encouraged in school to study things which the
government believes will make us more productive. Government agencies
help us try to find jobs. When we're paid, the government takes its
share first. According to the advocates of this ownership theory,
the government views us as production units.
The
most significant behavior, however, is based on the fact that only the
owner of property can dispose of it. Accordingly, only the government
can dispose of us kill us or have us killed. If a person kills
another person, it's a crime. This, more than any other behavior,
suggests that the government owns us.
Are
we property? I'm still not sure but I think the prudent answer is
to presume that we are. Then, we should try to free ourselves from
the condition of being owned. I also think that we should act quickly
because if we don't solve the problem soon given the government's growing
technology of control we and our descendants might be property forever.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
