The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) “has decided to use drones”, explained a representative of the Department at a hearing on August 10th. This decision was sprung on Minneapolitans and their representatives at City Council without notice nor many options to object.
The proposed policy that could govern the use of drones by Minneapolis police is “porous”, according to Munira Mohamed of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Minnesota. “It gives police all the discretion.” unicornriot.ninja/2022/despite-w…
We had some concerns about NYPD spying on #BLM and other protesters, so we wrote about them nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope… NYPD Deputy Commissioner Miller responded nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…. Here’s a fact check of what he said @joshgreenman
As is typical, NYPD responds to any calls for transparency or accountability by saying they will make it harder for them to catch terrorists. But, we’re not talking about terrorists, we’re talking about protesters.
NYPD says info in the public square isn’t entitled to privacy protection. But Handschu places limits on social media monitoring—even on public websites. NYPD can conduct general topical research, but they can’t run online searches for protesters’ names or individual identifiers.
