▻https://www.wired.com/2016/09/baltimore-became-americas-testbed-surveillance-tech

If you live in Baltimore, you may have the feeling that you’re being watched. You are. Baltimore Police track your cellphone use without a warrant. They secretly film the entire city from the air. And as concerns about the uses and privacy implications of that next-generation surveillance tech have mounted, these domestic spying scandals also raise another question : Why Baltimore ? It turns out that Baltimore checks off all the requirements to build a modern American urban panopticon : (...)

Baltimore Police Secretly Running Aerial Mass-Surveillance Eye in the Sky
▻https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-future/baltimore-police-secretly-running-aerial-mass-surveillance-eye-sky

Bloomberg Businessweek reported late Tuesday that the Baltimore police have been subjecting that city to a vast and powerful aerial surveillance system since January, without telling, let alone asking, the public that they serve. This is a big deal. This system, known as “wide-area surveillance” and run by an Ohio company called Persistent Surveillance Systems, involves the deployment of megapixel cameras on a Cessna aircraft, which circles over a city for up to 10 hours at a time, (...)

Since January, police have been testing an aerial surveillance system adapted from the surge in Iraq. And they neglected to tell the public. The sky over the Circuit Court for Baltimore City on June 23 was the color of a dull nickel, and a broad deck of lowering clouds threatened rain. A couple dozen people with signs—“Justice 4 Freddie Gray” and “The whole damn system is guilty as hell”—lingered by the corner of the courthouse, watching the network TV crews rehearse their standups. Sheriff’s (...)

À Baltimore, la police utilise une surveillance aérienne inventée pour la guerre en Irak

Pour la police de Baltimore, la réalité n’a plus grand chose à envier sur la fiction. Jusque là secret, un avion parcourt la ville à 2 500 mètres de hauteur, et enregistre tout ce qui se passe dans un rayon de 50 km, avec la possibilité de suivre un individu à la trace sur plusieurs heures. Alors que les caméras de surveillance sont désormais largement implantées au niveau du sol dans les villes, c’est depuis les airs que la surveillance de la population commence à s’étendre, pour tenter de garantir (...)
