She had these horror stories of the company collecting information about people, and referred to them as "Big Brother" in the collection of personal data. She said they were home-based in Texas.<BR/><BR/>She also said they had government contracts including the cameras at intersections, and their billing bypassed courthouses in collecting fines. Apparently the cameras were connected to company computers.<BR/><BR/>(Unbelievable. What else do their computers monitor?)<BR/><BR/>Could this ACS be the same company? Is this the kind of business they're in? If so are they going to eventually privatize everything - even rescue services, and toll roads, and as US Mail is contracted to private carriers, will the welfare of the many soon be entrusted in the hands of a wealthy, chosen few in the "good ole' boy network?"<BR/><BR/>I can't tell you how much trouble this girl was experiencing in her life for being apparently, too honest, - or asking too many questions. She lost everything she had and was living in fear.<BR/><BR/>(These things aren't supposed to happen in the USA.)<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to define exactly what kind of business this ACS is dong, and how many Americans are involved in their data collection, whether it can be manipulated or contaminated for a price. Afterall, it's all about money, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>-michellewhackedpoliticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749536882841736880noreply@blogger.com
