When the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners was discussing facial recognition people were warning this would happen.

I know bc I covered the hearings for the Detroit Documenters.

People said this would happen and the BOPC still voted for it.
“The lawsuit is the latest to be filed alleging the misuse of the Detroit Police Department's facial recognition system, which was started in 2017 and renewed in 2020. One complaint is that the software generates an inordinate number of false hits of dark-skinned people.”

Hey #FOIA fans want to do your part to make it easier to get DOGE records?

Easy peasy. Send a short (polite!) email to National.FOIAPortal@usdoj.gov and say, please make it possible to submit electronic FOIA requests to the U.S. DOGE Service through FOIA.gov.

That's all. I'll take it from there.

These MuckRock tips include an example from The FOIA Bakery about requesting email logs!

If you request an email log, you can use graphemails.com to visualize who is sending each other messages (and even identify key accounts linking separate groups of people)

I told Smith in response that SHE is "out of order." She then asked if I wanted to leave. To which I responded, "Do you?" She then said, "I'm supposed to be here." Then I said, "Not at the pleasure of the public!" The only time she has something to say is when she's knob sobbing the Detroit Police.
Vice Chair Smith states that his shooting was not a department based shooting. Prosecutor has made her findings. No audio from the audience but it sounds like there is some back and forth - Smith states that she is out of order.
