The Circle of HOPE (2018): OpenOversight: XKEYSCORE for Cops -Tracking/Surveilling Your Local Police

NOTE: Google/YouTube claims this video is "not suitable for most advertisers" so it must be pretty good.

Sunday, July 22, 2018: 10:00 am (Vaughan): Through highly sophisticated surveillance technology from drones and license plate readers to facial recognition, law enforcement agencies have sweeping and unprecedented abilities to compile databases of the people. But despite these capabilities and the prevalence of police abuse of power, the public is largely left in the dark about law enforcement and their activities. In this political context, it’s on the people to hold police accountable, and surveillance technology and data collection are methods that should not be unilaterally in the hands of law enforcement. OpenOversight is a project developed by data liberation collective Lucy Parsons Labs that consolidates police information from public records, public submissions, and web scraping into an open-source, community governed database. In this session, Jennifer and Camille will discuss how it works, how you can bring it to your city, and what’s next.

To be fair, do you have an atea of your site that allows ppl to commend certain officers? I think its important so that you can be effective rather than censored or viewed as biased against police. While i am being victimized by unlawful surveilling & am poorly viewed & treated by law enforcement, wringfully, unfortunately... i do understand that & they HAVE also offered protection for me during hard times as a victim of domestic abuse. We must also empower the good ones. Thats JUST AS IMPORTANT. We've gotta hold on to the numberbof good guys & cannot have children, etc view departments as a threat. What will we do then when we need law enforcement. I hope you consider these very valuable points. Unless you have replacements???? Just saying.
I do value this implementation & thank u for the service. I will try to use it. But im not a fenenist nor am i against police. Jusf assholes.
