Youtuber that was buying fuel/oil filters online to test and compare the insides, HSA gives him a visit and has a list of all his online purchases.
Really makes me wonder how much we are actually being watched.
I know about all the suppressors sold as filters but come on, Isn't this a little to far/ waste of resources?
 
i know exactly what "fuel filters" you speak of

interesting design....

not surprised...

Do a web search for Edward Snowden, and sit down for some good reading if this blows your mind.
 
Yeah, like the big box stores running your drivers license thru the reader when you buy ammo, they collect it all.

How about the little cameras on top of stop light poles at every intersection? In 20 years, I've never seen that footage used for any accidents.

We fly our flags and eagle memes, but realistically, we are far from free.

Go ask for permission to add a bathroom to your house, skip renewing car registration, or kill a deer and get back to me.

I know all about what snowden has put out, I just didnt think they would be going door to door because he bough a filter.
Clearly he didn't buy the ones they are cracking down on but if they were able to see what he was buying why go question someone who bought CAT and Donaldson stuff and not the kind that Arickvan posted above.
Which is still legal to buy as its not a complete supressor until you drill a hole in the end cap.

You wont. Those just tell the traffic lights when there are vehicles in lanes, and therefore trigger the timers. I used to work in street light cabinets.

When an object gets into the specific frames (lanes in this case) it initiates a timer to start whatever sequence that light is on.

Dad used to buy filters by the case, i guess today they would be sending agents out to talk to him
He needs to consult a lawyer.
He lives in Michigan and has never heard of the Michgan militias?
 
In the video he says he bought some sights for a “super soaker” as well. Guessing that’s what grabbed the attention?

Nah, he stumbled around trying not to say "gun", for fear of Youtube algorithms. "SuperSoaker" was his euphemism.


5:04. "He was going on to say that I ordered a bunch of suppressors for a...uh, I don't know how to say this without the youtube video going down, but, we'll just say a SuperSoaker"

What about the squares cut into the asphalt, aren't those what senses the presence of cars? Magnets and shit, right? I used to have to get off my motorcycle and push the button because it wouldn't detect me. 🤣

As far as the filters, I saw a meme one time that spelled out exactly what thread pitch and size adapter you're supposed to find at your local hardware store that would fit a filter on one and be capable to fitting the supersoaker on the other, but can't remember where I put it.
 
Dude bought some questionable items from a site that the feds monitor and he hot paid a visit. The title of his video is very clickbait.

those are giant inductive loops.
they're expensive to put in and if something happens you have to dig up the pavement to fix it.

the cameras are the newer, cheaper alternative that lets you put in a traffic controlled light without digging up your pavement.
They also do a much better job of detecting vehicles without a sufficient mass of ferrous metal in them to trigger an inductive circuit, like your motorcycle.

I know an old lady who got a visit for buying too many pressure cookers. It was around Christmas and she bought one for each of her Daughters and granddaughters.

When I rode the MBTA I was thinking about carrying my lunch in one. If I ever lost my backpack I was just gonna wait for it to turn up on the news. :laughing:

Those lights are for activation of the lights. Instead of using loops cameras are use but not your normal camera, cant remember what light spectrum its on but its not actually a normal video camera

Those are just a on/ off hooked to a generic timer. the cameras can read density of traffic and run the lights longer or shorter base on how many cars are there. Not only that. Say you have a double light setup on either side of bridge, under or over. The camera on both poles can calculate base on density to hold the light long enough for traffic starting at one side to pass through both intersections. Reduction of congestion

Loops do work, they are just old and ugly.

I think the guy is full of shit and there’s more to this than what he says in the video.
