SCOOP (1/2): I obtained a Palantir user manual, designed to be used by cops, through a public record request. The guide shows—in detail we’ve never seen before—how the Palantir’s Gotham software tracks, logs, and surveils people.

Here’s what you need to know about how Palantir works, as illustrated by the guide Motherboard obtained: 
SCOOP (2/2): 300 cities had access to Palantir through company contracts with Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, which is run by the DHS. The NCRIC gives info to police depts in 14 counties home to almost 8 million people. This is huge.

Really, really important takeaway from Palantir’s contract with the NCRIC: the NCRIC has a “perpetual license” to use Palantir. This means they’ve been able to continue using Palantir, even after their last contract from 2017 expired.
