Thanks. I'm well aware of how Skycop cameras appear, as well as their website address. The MPD has over 2,000 of them deployed. Did you consider, if this camera box existed and was covert, how it was located immediately after it was placed? Who was it that climbed the pole to open a box that said, "High Voltage," and take pictures of the inside? If the actual box looked nothing like a Skycop deployment, why was the finger of blame pointed at MPD? There is more to this story than the blurb that was reported in this article.

You seem to imply that the activist/article is lying. Apart from the video and that there being no good reason for him to lie (too easily exposed) This is not the first time that these high voltage boxes show up in the news about surveillance. So if you're someone aware of theses issues you would certainly not fear opening up a high voltage box (also what would be in the box if it actually was something high voltage, they don't appear overnight). Your assertion that this is likely a skycop seems to however not based on any evidence.

  > You seem to imply that the activist/article is lying. That's completely false. I said there is likely more to the story than was reported - and there is more to the story. I did not say that the activist or article is lying. That is solely your inference. The article, however, is incomplete and inaccurate. This particular activist has a long history with MPD. Two years ago, he was involed with a lawsuit against MPD. This house belongs to his grandmother, so he wasn't specifically being surveiled. The police have arrested his cousin and non-related drug-dealers while at his grandmother's house - in possession of drugs. They also served papers at that address for another one of his cousins for aggravated assault. As I wrote, there is more to this story than is written in this article. At best, this article was superficial. > Apart from the video and that there being no good reason for him to lie Yes, there are resaons for him to lie, but I didn't sat that he lied - I don't know whether he lied or not. But, why did he jump to the conclusion that MPD was surveiling him, personally, at an address that isn't his? This is the website that he has had for years for his activism. It's been completely empty for years. http://15.org http://15.org > Your assertion that this is likely a skycop seems to however not based on any evidence. I said based upon the thousands of already deployed skycops, the camera used by MPD, that if this was by MPD my understanding was that this was a Skycop camera.
