Ignorant Civil Rights Activists Can Eat My Shorts

There have been plans floating about lately for a so called “Fusion Center.” This proposed Center would allow Austin law officials to share its criminal information with other government agencies. The only thing standing in the way, are ignorant civil rights organizations.
Of course these civil rights organizations are essential in our society to keep the government from hoarding too much power. But the days of a happy go lucky society are well in the past. The United States population is becoming more and more ominous, and I would have to consider a little bit more government a necessity.
The proposed Fusion Center, which was recently forwarded to council by the commission, will be housed in the Department of Public Safety building. Also called the “Austin Regional Intelligence Center,” the center would have a database system that shares law enforcement information with other jurisdictions as well as state and federal law enforcement agencies.
To me the question is not civil rights but making sure the right people are held in charge of the information which is merely a judgment call dependent upon credibility. Also making sure the information is kept private to the government and law enforcement agencies only.
In my opinion, if you are seriously concerned about the government gathering data about you and other regular people then you must be doing something wrong or consider yourself way too important.
