From: "Mike Burns", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know that this was in America but it's scary all the same.... ---- I was at the Cow Palace gunshow in the San Francisco area this weekend and was surprised to see, among the usual police cars parked by the entrance, an unmarked full size Ford van with black tinted windows. The engine was running but no one was in the cab. It was between some cop cars and was obviously used for surveilance. I peeked in the cab and saw there was a black curtain between the front seats so no one could see into the cargo area. It was rather obvious what was going on and some other surprised gunshow patrons pointed and laughed at the van. Some even knocked on the windows and said, "Anyone in there?". It suddenly struck me later that we were all probably being photographed and video taped and the images were going to be kept in some file somewhere. I felt very violated and it seemed like an intimidation by the local Police because they were not being discreet about it at all. It reminded me of how the FBI will photograph protesters at rallies for their files. Did anyone else see this and is anyone else seeing this sort of thing in their cities?
