#surveillancetech — Public Fediverse posts

Thinking about Foucault's discussion of public punishment in Discipline and Punish, and how he describes it as a theatrical showing of brutal power enacted on the criminal's body but designed to be an example of the state's absolute authority over those of us watching.

And thinking about shows like To Catch a Predator, and Cops, and Jailbirds.

And thinking about the way we share body cam and cctv footage of arrests and of police brutality, especially when it's enacted on Brown and Black bodies.

And thinking about the way ICE is very publicly dragging people out of their homes.
