Scanner crackdown charging forward

Los Angeles County supervisors unanimously approved
a plan Tuesday to crack down on "scanners", psychics
that use their minds to control or kill others.

The ordinance, which still needs final approval,
will charge retailers annual fees of $160 to $300,
the revenue being used to hire police psychics able
to track down and capture the renegades.

The fees will generate an estimated $200 million a
year and will be used to hire 16 "anti-scanner"
investigators -- in addition to the 20 inspectors
the county currently has.

The inspectors would first post notices on the
front doors of suspected scanners, offering them
amnesty if they turn themselves in. They could
then become part of the anti-scanner force, or
daily take drugs that would suppress their psychic
abilities.

The ordinance also would impose misdemeanor fines
of up to $100,000 for individuals who know of but
do not turn in scanners to the police.

"After reviewing the proposal in the limited amount
of time granted, we strongly believe the ordinance
before you will provide citizens in Los Angeles
County with a safer environment in which to live
and to raise their children," Director Gilbert
Bester said in a letter.

A three-week undercover investigation last month
found that 60 percent of the about 1000 known
scanners have engaged in activities that were either
illegal or intrusive into the privacy of others.

I knew you were gonna post this. I saw what you did with that marmoset last
night, too. However, we've agreed to let you keep at it. We really love the
entertainment. You should see what kind of unimaginative sludge is in a Babdist
preacher's head. Its enough to make your OWN explode.
