The SF-based Center for Tactical Magic, an “organization dedicated to the extensive research, development, and deployment of the pragmatic system known as Tactical Magic — a fusion force summoned from the ways of the artist, the magician, the ninja, and the private investigator”, has unveiled the Tactical Ice Cream Unit. The what?

Although the TICU appears to be a mild-mannered vending vehicle, it harbors a host of high-tech surveillance devices, including a 12-camera video surveillance system, GPS with satellite internet, and a media center capable of disseminating live audio/video. More than creating an undercover Mission: Impossible aesthetic, the TICU’s full surveillance suite provides grassroots access to mobile communications technologies. Whether used to produce independent community news or to monitor corporate dumping or police activity, the TICU will investigate the limits of “neutral technologies”.

Let me ride? Please?
