1/4 The policies #NYPD published failed to address, as required, the disparate impacts of its harmful technologies like facial recognition, its gang database, and social media monitoring tools, on Black and Brown New Yorkers. 
2/4 We and our partners call on NYPD to follow the POST Act’s disclosure requirements. The NYPD’s expansive technology systems must not infringe on New Yorkers’ privacy rights or civil liberties.
3/4 Compliance with the #POSTAct is only the first step. NYPD’s use of technology to track, monitor, and surveil New Yorkers casts undue suspicion on communities of color. Its gang database relies on overbroad criteria that disparately impacts Black and Latinx New Yorkers.
4/4 NYPD must eliminate its gang database & end the designation of people as gang-affiliated based on overbroad & racially discriminatory criteria. Office of the Inspector General, we look forward to your audit of all NYPD technology policies & practices. naacpldf.org/news/ldf-sends…
