Drones And Big Brother NYPD Street Ads

By on September 17, 2012 in News 15

Walking in Manhattan today, I’ve noticed several instances of what at first glance would appear to be a strange, provocative new billboard ad campaign from the New York City Police Department:

      I’ve contacted the author to see if he can address this. Thanks.

      • Tchoutoye

         Just rename the pics to something else than “…ads”.

      *No image*
      WTF?
      *Turn off Adblock*
      OOHhh.

    I would assume that those we not put up by the nypd but rather a street artist.

    reminds me of the legit police ads i see in Illinois, it has a cop who blends into the background in what looks like Active Camouflage always watching citizens.

    • iLLconvict

      I hate that commercial… Why aren’t they watching our politicians? I mean shit, we’ve had 8 Governors in Illinois since the 70′s and HALF have gone to prison. Lol.

    • Anarchy Pony

      I’ve seen TV ads like that, where the camo cops are “always watching” for drunk drivers.

      • Hadrian999

        cops love drunk drivers, gives them an excuse for mass shakedowns and warrantless searches all in the name of public safety

        • Anarchy Pony

          Excuse to set up roadblock checkpoints.

          • Hadrian999

            which are mass shake downs and warrantless searches

    the legit ad on the left is creepier than the mock ad on the right
    because the mock ad is a joke and the legit ad is serious

      I hesitate to add the millionth-and-first ’1984′ reference to this site so I’ll just vaguely allude to it so you know what I think the picture on the left reminds me and every goddamn body of and why it’s terrifying.

         In the end, Winston learned to love Big Brother.

    There is a giant thumbprint on the left billboard. Watching is spelled wrong and the reflective image does not match the background.
