Un collectif a mis en ligne 269 Go d’archives dans le but d’informer sur ce que la police « fait et a fait légalement ». Une fuite impressionnante de par son volume, et aux effets potentiellement lourds de conséquence aux Etats-Unis en raison de son contenu. C’est ainsi qu’on peut résumer les « BlueLeaks », un ensemble de données et de documents pesant près de 269 gigaoctets, publiés en libre accès alors qu’ils sont issus des rouages internes de dizaines d’agences de police réparties sur tout le (...)

A Black man in Detroit spent over a day in custody in January after an incorrect facial recognition match led to his wrongful arrest. Robert Williams spent more than a day in custody at a Detroit detention center in January after an incorrect facial recognition match led to his wrongful arrest, in what the American Civil Liberties Union alleges is the first such case in the United States. It’s an experience that has stayed with him. “I felt empty, I guess,” Williams told NBC News in a (...)

As protesters demand an end to police brutality and the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the nation, police departments around the country are using software that can track and identify people in crowds from surveillance footage — often with little to no public oversight or knowledge. Dozens of cities around the country are (...)

How does one explain to two little girls that a computer got it wrong, but the police listened to it anyway ?

A report by the civil liberties group contends that reliance on thermal cameras and temperature-sensing guns to resume work at factories and offices and to encourage travel is flawed and intrusive.

Four cases offer some insight into how federal law enforcement continues to monitor online speech related to social movements. On May 27, just two days after George Floyd died at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, an activist from St. Louis decided to drive the 540 miles north to the Twin Cities to participate in the protests there. “We promise to do our very best to be safe and not do anything to get arrested," Mike Avery wrote on Facebook.
