Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) hehe... NO PICTURE!! yeah the FBI has never liked pictures of anything involving them... When I lived in Africa, the military police were essentially posse, judge & jury since it was a military dictatorship. It was common if you raised a camera to take a picture of something they considered sensitive, to suddenly see a hand blocking your lens and some officer shouting at you "NO PICTURE!" Since this officer was usually holding a 45cal 1911 automatic, and his group of soldiers behind him were all holding M16's.... nobody argued with these guys... regardless of who they were. You saying no picture allowed brought back those memories. Edited February 4, 2017 by Zathrus~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 yes... you should see some of the 4x4's running around here by the border patrol. They have these huge optical and thermal imaging cameras mounted on the roof or on deploy-able towers. They can sit back on a hill top and watch things very closely several miles away. Here are some examples we have here in southern AZ. Many of them include Optics, thermals and radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
