@cms512322 This is an interesting question to consider,especially taking into account how police officers dont even want their digital data collected/big data surveillance used for work purposes but our data is constantly being collected w/o us even knowing & no say in the matter #so339
@TI2022sc I want to say that fairness should not play a role in policing given that it is completely open to interpretation & differs btw each officer, but i know that is easier said than done...i think it can be difficult to distinguish btw fair & just & equal which all play a role #so339
requiring citizens to approve new tech&big data surveillance used by police asking police to demonstrate benefits&risks seems like a good idea to educate the city&hold police accountable & aware of the possible harms,do you think this is enough or more needs to be done? #so339
Whether digital or physical, should simply being in/interacting w/ an undefined 'high crime area' give police reasonable suspicion or probable cause? This seems like the epitome of racial/class profiling to me & seems unjust, but it was a supreme court ruling #so339
(1/2) Brayne said "The Supreme Court held, for instance, that police observation in a “high crime area” can be a deciding factor with regard to reasonable suspicion or probable cause" (p.120).... #so339
@jhuff_22 I think it should require a warrant to access any type of digital data...you cannot go into someone's house & search w/o a warrant so you should also not be able to access their digital info w/o a warrant...this should be protected under the 4th amendment #so339
@orbu22 In these 2 chapters the us vs them mentality & the othering that police are constantly doing is made very obvious through their blatant disrespect of their own team members, which then carries over to the public they serve, it is ironic & kind of sad #so339
I saw this article on npr & it directly relates to everything we have been talking about & is an interesting read ab surveillance technology & policing https://t.co/o36NdW3iJ4 #so339
It was really interesting to read about law enforcement supporting new technology developments when it comes to citizen surveillance but strongly resisting the use of AVLs to monitor officer location & other technology uses, did this surprise you? #so339
@lefreder I saw this trending on twitter when the ep aired & watching it now I can see why, he framed it perfectly & he was able to collect that info the same way this info is collected on us & prove those in power only care ab their own privacy, interesting when adding in police #so339
@amz1550@kyliefirestine (2/2)there are entire sites, fb groups, etc. for alt right gang members that pose just as much of a threat but rarely ever place them permanently in the police system & definitely not on an FI card, the surveillance is not equal, much like every aspect of the digital realm #so339
@amz1550@kyliefirestine (1/2) These are all really interesting points & I couldn't help but go back to the digital inequalities we have been discussing all semester, someone can be criminalized for intersecting w/ conventional street gang members online (drill music, social media) however...#so339
@vmw339 I was also thinking this & how this is just another way that police are able to racially profile, but now w/ more basis on technological approaches & w/ 'legit' reasoning ...it is difficult to understand/separate the 2 in these chapters #so339
Ch.4 introduced the use of FI cards to track police contact & info & are useful in documenting gang affiliation...based on what we have read in class, how could this use be potentially unequal & harmful? #so339
These chapters pose an interesting question if taxpayers should/would want to pay for digital technology training, data-intensive policing, contracts w/ data companies, etc. that leads to more of their info being shared & increases of digital surveillance #so339
@EmmaS80516 After reading these chapters I think that there would be less bc w/ less advanced technology comes less digital surveillance. I think about how DNA has become more advanced w/ time & technology, so too similarly has surveillance & it has increased arrest rates #so339
(2/2) it is through these tweets that NYPD is able to do as Cheng says "cultivate an online audience that understands the department’s constraints and appreciates its contributions" (401) which allows them to shape public understandings when acts of police violence occur #so339
(1/2) After reading ab NYPD's social media strategy & going to their profile, the first tweets visible on their profile are all about officer success stories (recovering guns, saving a life) or videos, pics, info ab crimes & wanted criminals... #so339
(2/2) social media offers police a new more innovative & accessible way to shape public perception of crime, especially in controversial times, & allows police to show how 'unfairly' they are treated, legitimizing contested acts of police violence #so339
(1/2) After reading Suart & Reid & Valasik, we see how society's perceptions of crime & criminals are not an accurate reflection of reality and we know that media & authority figures (police) help shape society's perceptions... #so339
