"But if training hasn’t worked, why does it continue? Why is it always trotted out, alongside new technologies, as the solution? Because training and technologies (body cams, Tasers, so-called less-than-lethal weapons, predictive policing software) are a boondoggle for corporate interests."
"Strangest of all is the liberal pipe dream that local police will stand up against ICE and CBP, when police have collaborated with ICE and been deployed to protect agents from protesters, even in so-called sanctuary cities."

ELITE gets data from lots of sources, and one of them appears to be Thomson Reuters' CLEAR data product. ICE has long contracted with the company, which sells addresses and other personal data. Those addresses can come from credit header data (when you open a card) www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Another “weaponized vehicle” claim from occupation forces in Portland.

It sure sounds like the fed was at the driver’s window here too. Not sure how he could’ve struck two people from the front.

For anyone that thinks state or local laws on data sharing will prevent ICE from accessing data, the Federal administration is claiming ICE has "absolute immunity" www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-min...

The only way to prevent ICE accessing data is to not collect the data

"Police beats that had ShotSpotter sensors saw an approximately 32% decrease in homicides," after Shotspotter was removed. That's a larger drop than in areas that never had ShotSpotter.

Surveillance isn't safety.

If your city is suspending or cancelling #Flock, remember that "switching to another #ALPR vendor" is NOT the solution.

Dragnet bulk data collection is the core problem. #Flock is just one particularly egregious example.

Mass #surveillance does not make any of us safer! 🚫

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
