  9. #CarWeek #MontereyCounty Thanks to California Highway Patrol, who took a hit - quite likely preventing harm to someone else. "A Porsche was stopped after going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone. After the driver was pulled over, the Porsche backed into a CHP patrol vehicle, CHP alleges.” - Ricardo Tovar, #KSBW ksbw.com/article/porsche-four- #SpeedLimits #SafeStreets #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #DrunkDriver #DUI #alcohol

  10. #Police credit the #tech as an important crime-fighting innovation that helps locate missing people & track suspects in violent crimes. But critics say it amounts to #unconstitutional warrantless #MassSurveillance. Dozens of cities & agencies have nixed their relationships with #Flock amid concerns that the data can be accessed for #immigration enforcement or in unauthorized tracking, after a flurry of examples surfaced of #LawEnforcement officers misusing the tech for personal searches.

  11. ‘Tower dump’ warrants ruled #unconstitutional
    A "tower dump" involves #cellphone companies providing #lawenforcement with access to the time and location data of all mobile devices connected to a cell tower
    "That is an unreasonable search under the #FourthAmendment," judge concluded
    The order repeatedly referenced the Supreme Court's recent decision in Chatrie v United States, in which the majority held that #geofence #warrants require constitutional #privacy protections

  12. No presidential contests in #US history have been as thoroughly investigated as the #2020election. Over more than five years, every #ConspiracyTheory from #Trump & his allies — including false claims about election workers, mail ballots & election machines — has been investigated & debunked by #election officials from both political parties &, in many cases, by members of #Congress, #judges & #LawEnforcement.

    “…
    • DeFlock can generate routes that avoid known [Automated License Plate Readers] ALPR cameras entirely.
    • Users can choose how far they want to stay from surveillance cameras.
    • The tool arrives as scrutiny of license plate readers continues to grow.
    For years, automated license plate readers have quietly spread across America. They sit on utility poles, at intersections, near shopping centers, and along roads most drivers use every day. The overwhelming majority of motorists never notice them. A free website called DeFlock changes that by showing where many of those cameras are located and, more importantly, helping users avoid them if they choose. In a world where surveillance is often invisible, that’s a surprisingly powerful feature…”

    “Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time. They also capture your car's make, model, colour, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points.
    These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location data, creating a loophole that doesn't require a warrant…”

  16. VT Digger: Police department’s social media tactics lead to arrests — and criticism. “A 2021 investigation by the Los Angeles Times found police departments around the country increasingly use recurring social media campaigns such as ‘Wanted Wednesdays’ and ‘Fugitive Fridays’ to publicize warrants and solicit tips.
