"We are doing everything necessary to make sure that Nassau County is safe," Bruce Blakeman bleated. "We are installing technology along the border of New York City that will read license plates, that will have facial recognition, that will have video cameras."

NCPD employs about 2,400 police officers and this is a horrible excuse to expand their police powers while raising revenue from tickets and eroding privacy safeguards. NY State Police also patrol parts of Nassau County, so they will have access to the information gathered by the new surveillance system.

One wonders which Israeli hi-tech security firm or Republican insider was awarded the contract.

This MAGA abomination amassed an incredible litany of blasphemies in 2025, to wit:

In Jan 2025, Bruce Blakeman refused to lower county flags to honor the late Jimmy Carter. In Feb 2025, Blakeman was sued for creating an "illegal militia" of armed and deputized private citizens and in July 2025 he allowed local police officers to wear masks while assisting ICE raids. In June 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf endorsed this troglodyte for re-election in a move meant to clear the field for bland, unpopular House Republican Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to run for NYS governor.

Republican-leaning Nassau County is just east of Queens on Long Island and has a population of 1,381,715, 53% white. Per capita income is $60,980 and the median household income is $141,568.
