The NYPD will soon have easier access to top-secret FBI files, as part of the police department's counterterrorism efforts.

According to published reports Sunday, the FBI has approved the installation of a classified information vault at police headquarters. There is no word yet on when the vault will be installed.

I'm very skeptical of this so called vault.
In my own opinion, real intelligence gathering starts with feet on the ground and eyes and ears open. The more, the better after sorting. The beat cop, security people and even the average citizen can do a lot more to ensure safety than the FBI who just can't be everywhere.

This is a natural result of some recent signing of laws, where local law enforcement is now getting access to satellite surveillance once only known to FBI. Their "top secret" satellite operating manuals, for example, will be in the vault, because the NYPD will get access to satellite surveillance of people, very very soon. New York is a prototype, also out of necessity. Figure if the surveillance program model works on New York, it can work on every other city in the nation.

Not just random multiple object surveillance, like people, or cars, because that is ineffecient. Pattern surveillance, where if you drive outiside your normal to-work route, the satellite flags this and sends it to another computer for a judgement call, to alert authorities to look closer, or whatever. Even now, law enforcement can track someone in their car, via "top secret" satellites, and note the passengers in the car, even if a passenger is a cat. Police need this surveillance for effecient response and accurate arrests on suspicion.

When the FBI dumps enough information on the big regional police groups, I think it will shut down, and we won't have FBI anymore. Just local police and Homeland Security. Police are evolving into little FBI agents.

Don't be afraid. Just be unpredictable every time, and you won't get a pattern started to get flagged for changing later.
