Ik that it was just an example but it made me angry to read that an ostomy bag can be considered probable cause of a person having a weapon bc it looks similar especially bc it could put points on their record for being stopped and then they may be policed more often#so339

[Angie @amz1550]

It boggles me that there is no system to track the entire process of apprehending a suspect/interrogating them (everything pre-trial) & also that attorneys involved are not necessarily privy to this information. How many lapses in due process would be avoided if they were #s0339

[Angie @amz1550]

Would you guys find data surveillance more acceptable/less invasive as long as it was in small doses or for short periods of time? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

It's interesting thinking ab if cell phones should require a search warrant. I was considering the info that could be gathered from my physical space versus from my phone, and there would be a myriad more info on my phone. This brings up the idea of quantitative privacy #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@ancb2021 I agree & it sounds like this is a real concern some officers have. The difficulty lies in trying to work this advanced technology over an amendment from yrs ago. But if the SC rules off precedence, what different angle can be taken to combat this? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

not even knowing what result they’re looking for from the data gathered or the major implications these tools can carry. (2/2) #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

This topic reminds me of the dystopian depiction of technology in Black Mirror & how it can overrun our lives. These surveillance tools are being utilized by departments bc they are the newest & most exciting thing - despite some users of the surveillance (1/2) #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

The idea of second surveillance & it’s unequal effects on minorities is super troubling. I’m failing to see rationalization of this when affluent communities have far less police presence and little to no gang activity? How can this not be biased then? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

Ch 5 mentions the paranoia law enforcement has of getting in trouble for their behavior. I wonder how this has changed/heightened in recent yrs with the high profile cases of wrongful police-involved deaths. Can this paranoia serve as a protective measure or is it harmful? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@ancb2021 by employers is not a new issue, but once it affected law enforcement officers they took note of it. I think this is partly just self centered human nature. (2/2) #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@ancb2021 This did not surprise me, and not even just because of the common characteristics of police officers that ch. 5 mentioned - but rather bc it is easy to ignore something when it doesn’t disadvantage you. As it mentioned, disagreement over worker surveillance (1/2) #so339

[People's City Council - Los Angeles @PplsCityCouncil]

Week after week of sensationalism that gets reposted in the @latimes unchallenged.

[Angie @amz1550]

The juxtaposition of there being no mass tracking database for guns is interesting. Would the same people who find that possibility as an infringement on their rights be ok with the surveillance major police department do? Or do these situations differ too much to compare? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@vmw339 For sure, is there anyway to harmlessly toe the line between policing more in areas with higher crime rates & militarizing these areas and creating self-fulfilling prophecies for the youth residents of them? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@kyliefirestine Also a really good point - it was sort of intimidating reading about how you can gain a permanent place in their system simply by being in the car w someone during a police stop or associating w them online. Is it fair that your name is then more likely to come up? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@kyliefirestine I agree, w predictive policing it creates that feedback loop Brayne mentions, making it difficult for anyone w prior police interaction to rehabilitate & avoid it in the future (which is ultimately the goal!) It seems like a lesser of two evil situations which is dejecting #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

It is interesting that the police advertise their goal w social media as being community engagement yet NYPD routinely does not engage with other users. AND this is public data. I wonder if people would be noticing this inconsistency that are not in the academic field? #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@so339student I agree. It is also a dangerously fine line considering the fact that their implicit (or explicit) racial biases may designate who they will be seeking out online. I would bet confidently that they are not seeking out alt-right gang members. #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

@JuneSO339 This is so true. It all kind of goes back to the fundamental attribution error and our hypocritical nature as humans to perceive others' errors as dispositional yet make situational excuses for our own. The irony in this particular example is insane. #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

into actions. Stuart mentions repercussions, such as being profiled as criminals in public/being refused service. This barely scratches the surface. It likely makes finding employment difficult, reinforcing the cycle of poverty and the need for drill. (2/2) #so339

[Angie @amz1550]

“When their microcelebrity dreams failed to materialize, they’re left to live with the very same representations they helped reinforce.” We have discussed this type of cycle the whole book. Still I feel as if I neglected to think ab how those stereotypes translate (1/2) #so339
