Major US city law enforcement departments like the LAPD now have automated, custom stacks for mass surveillance programs that leverage software/solutions like Palantir, LexisNexis, local Fusion Center resources, etc.

I found LAPD documents proving this:

I bet similar surveillance programs are used by many LE departments in major cities in 14/9/5 Eyes nations

They likely feed government databases like those used by US government's Operation Whistle Pig to discredit whistle blowers & manipulate the media

Point blank:

Major city law enforcement departments now have mass surveillance capabilities many associate w/ US government Fusion Centers

These surveillance capabilities will only improve as cities further adopt tech like those associated w/ smart cities

These are 4 of 9 docs showing citizen information the LAPD can search via LexisNexis/Accurint, one of many surveillance solutions (like Palantir) used as part of the department's mass surveillance programs

Similar programs likely occur in many major cities in 14/9/5 Eyes nations

The LAPD runs its mass surveillance programs w/ relatively little oversight; it conducts these programs via dividing Los Angeles into 'Areas' that each runs all department surveillance programs/tools via "Area Crime & Community Intelligence Centers".
