I’ve followed decades of modern skeptical discourse and looked into its precursors back to antiquity. Some things are almost steady state—there are always frauds, quacks, and charlatans, and often fears of a “rising tide of irrationality.” But elevating cranks to this level of power *is* different

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."
The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”
