Chief of Police called just as I was getting ready to leave the attorney's office. He indicated that the video tapes were ready to pick up, but that they wouldn't have any audio. I asked why the tapes had no audio and he said that the officers had wireless microphones transmitting on the same frequency which canceled each other out.
As contributor ChareltonHest wrote: "Uh-huh."
Plus, it looks like he and his brother were harassed and detained again.
That's BS. Those wireless mics, if they did exist, would undoubtedly use frequency modulation. FM is known for a phenomenon called the "capture effect." If two signals are transmitting on the same frequency, the one with the strongest signal at the receiver will "capture" the frequency. At least one signal will be captured at all times. They won't "cancel each other out."
ReplyDeleteIf you all want to see a very sick, sad observation, look at what some people are posting on the "Gun boards"(OC, ARFCOM)
ReplyDelete.
Many can't wait to hate him. One fellow is running off to tell the Post Falls PD about Zach's internet postings.
Proof again that most of these people on a lot of these "pro-gun" boards don't have the slightest comprehension of 2nd Amendment Rights, and are clueless of the history behind us. They want a fancy "evil black rifle" because it is the partisan, trendy thing to do if you are into "gun-rights". And they rally against the most obvious offenses to their toys like the AWB94. They love the NRA, because they are "pro-gun" and hate the Brady's because they are "Anti-gun". But it's all partisan bull. When someone tries to excersise their rights
in a fashion not PC, they then lash out at them, hate them, will blame them for the loss of our rights, and even run off to help the local Stasi against the said exerciser(in some sick/twisted mindset that bringing down such a person is better for all of us for our "image").
ReplyDeleteThey are little slaves that don't know what rights are. It is times like these where they show their true colors: They don't beleive in rights, they only want their privileges from their masters.
A right comes from God and is inherent. A privilege is something given to you by another and can be revoked. People like the ones on AR-15.com beleive in privileges, and they don't want another liberty-minded individual "ruining it for 'everyone'", by pissing off the masters into calling for more restrictions(which they have no authority to pass anyway).
Another person exercising their rights is not abuse. And if another abuses their rights, my rights are unaffected. Almost completely gone is the concept of a free individual.
To many on a lot of these boards though, such thinking is "unrealistic". You see, they are "realists"(which is another guise for a defeatist), and we are all screwed anyway. "There is no hope of getting our rights back"; "That's just the way it is" So their only course of action with such thinking is the course of capitulation and not "stirring the pot", lest our masters want to beat more with regulations.
I'm running thoughts through my mind and typing them here. It's the only way to get them off my chest. If anyone else wants to "refine" the subject at hand, please post your thoughts.

CH, I've never been able to stomach the forums. So many obnoxious hipshot opinions, so few of them informed. I actually get less angry at Million Mommers than I do some of these Chatroom Warriors who are supposedly on "our side".
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I tried to email you the link to this post and got a bounceback saying it was rejected. Seeing as how it was a reply to your email, I found that strange...
Test email me again and I'll try to do another reply and see if it was just a one-time glitch...
I answered some of worst of these idiots in a couple comments on the forum.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most pertinent reply to a commenter who said he was wrong to antagonize the LEOs.
***********************************
How can anyone be so wrong? His isn't the antagonistic view of law enforcement. He is in complete compliance with the law.
I am not home-schooled, but I was schooled long enough ago that I was taught the same things about civics, the law and the duties of each of us in regards to them.
Only someone with a fear of freedom or a hidden agenda necessitating citizen acquiesence and surrender to a self supposed elite would think that his is the antagonistic attitude, since he is in full compliance with the law and the officers so far involved are violating the law. The antagonism is on the part of the LEOs toward law abiding citizens.
I also must say it is illuminating that at each stop the officers upon returning his weapon warned him against reassembly until they could clear the area. Doesn't that sound just a little bit cowardly if they think this man might be a danger to others, but only worry about getting their asses out of the area? If they had reason to believe him a danger they had no business releasing his weapon to him. If they didn't have reason to believe him a danger, then they had no business stopping him, they hadn't seen anything in contravention of the law.
One has to wonder about their courage and sense of duty under the circumstances. Especially since they controlled those circumstances.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I don't touch them much at all either. You might say I shouldn't take forums like ARFCOM seriously, and you are probably right. Like you said before though, they do provide a window into a certain group Americans.
The only forum I am a serious member of, is LibertyPost.org. A political News Forum. It's not a bad place. That and Keepandbeararms.com.
I'll try e-mailing you to. I am hoping it is just a glitch as well.

Agreeing with AlanDP. Basically, any good discriminator circuit is going to grab the strongest signal.
ReplyDeleteI would think that since the distances were close, and since the transmitters probably had the same output power, that the worst case would be muddled audio as the receiver attempts to sort out both carriers. I've heard jammers on the HAM radio FM bands, and I know what it sounds like. It isn't silence.
In order for the two to cancel out, one would have to be exactly 180 degrees out of phase with the other, and the two signals would have to arrive at the receiver at exactly the same time, and have exactly the same strength at the receiver.
At that's assuming an isotropic antenna, which is a theoritcal device, not one that is actually possible to build. (Simply rotating a real antenna is enough to drastically change the signal strength relative to the receiver, because no antenna radiates equally in all directions.) And since we're talking about FM, the slightest difference in the sound going into the remote mics is going make the modulation different.
That is the only forum I have touched in a long time and I did this time just to answer the kneelers at the altar of authority.
ReplyDeleteYou can bet that most of the ****tards "shooting down" this kid are the same one who will claim that the government will NEVER EVER take THEIR guns.
ReplyDeleteThat's about the mentality of these a-holes.
Bitch when someone actually does something that's protected by the Constitution.
BTW - when I was 16 and younger, I rode my bike with my 10-22 Ruger, and my brother rode with his Mossberg 22 out to the boonies to go shooting. When we saw a police officer, they just smiled and waved, and gave us no second thought.
I guess some of the alleged "pro-gun" maroons posting to these boards would have panicked and called the police on us had they been around.
