Baltimore City Hall created a development plan moving city hall to owning business property----this has never been the activity of a local, state, or Federal. In 2003, MAYOR O'MALLEY MOVED FORWARD the city owning THE BALTIMORE HILTON----attached to CONVENTION CENTER/ATHLETIC VENUES-----lots of tourists. BUSH era opens door to expanded public crime and corruption by allowing local government to become business owners. BUSH era was as well when all global military corporation equipment tied to war zone surveillance and spying hit our US cities like Baltimore.

Baltimore downtown hotel under capacity -------why was BALTIMORE CITY HALL-OWNED HILTON built?
'Initially proposed in 2003, actual construction of the city-owned venture took place between 2006 and 2008'.
This time period was also ROBBER BARON sacking and looting with massive frauds -----2008 economic crash brought recession/depression to US cities like Baltimore. Global banking 5% freemason/Greek players knew in 2006-2008 toxic subprime mortgage loan fraud would bring down our Baltimore economy.
TIME FOR NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG TO MOVE IN AND CREATE YET ANOTHER CRIMINAL/HUSTLE ECONOMY-----USING BUSH ERA SURVEILLANCE DEVICES ---CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES BEING INSTALLED BY GLOBAL CORPORATIONS IN ALL KINDS OF HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS.
BALTIMORE CITY CODE surrounding health and safety issues in commercial and residential buildings were changed at this time ----requiring ALARMS et al with photo-electric capacity in required locations.

'The Hilton Baltimore is a 757–room hotel located on West Pratt Street in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Initially proposed in 2003, actual construction of the city-owned venture took place between 2006 and 2008 as part of the Baltimore Convention Center. A month before the hotel's scheduled opening in August 2008, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon said that an 18% increase in room night bookings through 2017, as of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, compared to the previous year's, confirmed the city's decision to move forward with the hotel development project as a means of bolstering Baltimore's convention business.[1] The massive hotel has been criticized for blocking the once-celebrated views of Baltimore's skyline from the Oriole Park at Camden Yards grandstand, however. The hotel has underperformed projections, losing money in its first three years of operation'.

New Smoke Detector Law
June 14, 2013
SB969 – Public Safety – Fire Protection and Prevention – Residential Smoke Alarms –
This bill updates and overhauls minimum state fire protection and prevention laws as they relate to residential smoke detectors and alarms including Baltimore City. Some definitions are important: “Sleeping area” means a space that includes one or more sleeping rooms and a hall or common area immediately adjacent to any sleeping room. “Sleeping room” means an enclosed room with a bed arranged to be used as a bedroom. “Smoke alarm” means a single or multiple station device that detects visible or invisible products of combustion and includes a built-in internal alarm signal. “Smoke detector” means a system-connected smoke sensing device tied to a fire alarm control panel or a household fire warning panel.
Each residential sleeping area (including 1- and 2- family dwellings, lodging or rooming houses, hotels, dormitories, and apartment buildings) must be provided with an automatic smoke alarm. The alarms must be installed in accordance with NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm Code; be listed and labeled by a nationally recognized testing laboratory to comply with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 217, “Standard for Safety for Single and Multiple Station Smoke Alarms”; be suitable for sensing visible and invisible productions of combustion; and sound an alarm to warn the occupants. Stricter standards apply to new residential units constructed on or after July 1, 2013. (See Enrolled Bill, Chapter 594, page 7, Section 9-103, Public Safety Article.) for 1-and 2- family dwellings built before July 1, 1975, smoke alarms must be battery powered or using AC primary electric current. For 1- and 2- family dwellings built between July 1, 1975 and June 30, 1990, smoke alarms must be powered by AC primary electric current. Smoke alarms in multifamily residential occupancies including lodging or rooming houses, hotels, dormitories, and apartment buildings shall be powered by AC primary electric current. Smoke alarms in residences built on or after July 1, 1990 shall be powered by AC primary electric current with battery backup or an approved alternative power source. For residences built on or after January 1, 1989, if two or more smoke alarms are required, they shall be arranged so that activation of any one smoke alarm causes alarm activation in all of the other required smoke alarms in the residence.
In 1- and 2- family dwellings smoke alarms shall be upgraded to smoke alarms that are AC powered primary electric when any of the following occurs: (1) the existing smoke alarms exceed 10 years from the date of manufacture; (2) the existing smoke alarms fail to respond to operability tests or otherwise malfunction; (3) there is a change in tenant occupancy and the dwelling has not yet been equipped with sealed life-long battery smoke alarms with silence/hush button features within the 10 years preceding the change of tenant; or (4) a building permit is issued for an additional residential unit or alteration to a residential unit.
On or before January 1, 2018, smoke alarm placement shall be upgraded as follows: (1) A minimum of one smoke alarm on each level including basements but excluding attics, garages and crawl spaces; (2) smoke alarms shall be AC primary current powered with battery backup except (2)(a) smoke alarms in 1- and 2-family dwellings built before July, 1 1975 may be battery powered; and (2)(b) smoke alarms required in new locations by this law, if smoke alarms did not previously exist, may be battery operated ; and (3) If battery operated smoke alarms are permitted, only sealed, tamper resistant units incorporating a silence/hush button and using long-life batteries may be used.
In 1- and 2-family dwellings, a smoke detector used as part of an approved household fire alarm system is (1) the detector is an acceptable alternative to the AC powered-battery backup alarms and (2) if the detectors are installed and located as required by this law.
For sleeping rooms occupied by a deaf or hard of hearing individual, smoke alarms to alert the occupant are required. Upon written request by such occupant, the sleeping room shall be provided with an approved notification appliance designed to alert deaf or hard of hearing individuals. The landlord shall provide such appliance that is sufficient to warn the deaf or hard of hearing tenant in those sleeping rooms. A landlord may require a tenant to reimburse the landlord for the cost of the notification appliance and smoke alarm to alert a deaf or hard of hearing individual. Additional rules apply to hotels and motels.
Enforcement of this law shall be by the State Fire Marshal, a county or municipal fire marshal, a fire chief, the Baltimore City Fire Department or any other designated authority.
For residential properties built on or after July 13, 2013, the applicant for the building permit is responsible for the proper installation of required smoke alarms. If no building permit is required, the general contractor is responsible.
The landlord or property owner is responsible for the installation, repair, maintenance and replacement of smoke alarms required. Occupants of residential dwellings may not remove or tamper with a required smoke alarm or otherwise render the alarm inoperative. It is the occupant’s responsibility to test smoke alarms. The tenant shall notify the landlord in writing of the failure or malfunction of a required smoke alarm. This writing must be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested or by hand delivery to the landlord or the landlord’s agent shall provide the tenant with written receipt for delivery. Within 5 calendar days after notification, the landlord shall provide written acknowledgement of the notification and shall repair or replace the smoke alarm.
A smoke alarm may be combined with carbon monoxide alarm that meets legal requirements.
Fire investigators are required to issue orders requiring compliance with this law where appropriate, to the responsible landlord, owner, or occupant, which order must be complied with within 5 calendar days.
The Real Estate Article list of defects which must be disclosed to purchasers of residential real estate has been altered and amended to advise the purchaser if there are alarms that will sound if there is a power outage; if the alarms are over 10 years old; and if battery powered, they are sealed, tamper resistant using silence/hush buttons and long-life batteries as required in all Maryland homes by2018. Signed by the Governor on May 16, 2013 as Ch.594; Cross-filed HB 1413 (Del. Malone) signed into law by the Governor on May 16, 2013 as Ch. 595. Effective July, 2013.

'Your Television
Televisions may track what you watch. Some LG televisions were found to spy on not only what channels were being watched, but even transmitted back to LG the names of files on USB drives connected to the television. Hackers have also demonstrated that they can hack some models of Samsung TVs and use them as vehicles to capture data from networks to which they are attached, and even watch whatever the cameras built in to the televisions see'.
'Your Webcam or Home Security Cameras
On that note, malware installed on your computer may take control of the machine’s webcam and record you – by taking photos or video – when you think the camera is off. Miss Teen USA was allegedly blackmailed by a hacker who took control of her laptop’s webcam and photographed her naked when she thought the camera was not on. Likewise, malware on computers or hackers operating on those machines could potentially intercept transmissions from security cameras attached to the same network as the devices (some cameras transmit data unencrypted), and copy such videos for their own systems. Such information is invaluable to burglars'.
'Your iPod or Other Entertainment Devices
Yes, there are still millions of people using specialized non-phone-equipped electronic devices, but these devices are often Wi-Fi enabled and pose similar to risks to smartphones as discussed above. Of course if you are reading books or magazines, watching videos, or listening to audio supplied by an online provider, your choices and preferences are likely being tracked.
