Link Resource Database
Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass
surveillance.
This database focuses on
facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things
that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that
they should take seriously.

"To ensure that the system is being utilized properly, the department said it will review license plate reader searches daily and "suspend access for any immigration-related search that is identified, to confirm the Flock feature banning searches related to immigration matters is working as expected.""
Notes: Worth noting that Flock has already made it impossible for officers to accidentally identify their network-searches as immigration-related. But this will enable them to report that the thing that can't be entered doesn't show up anymore. Problem solved?Copies at:

""They entered it for both," Lyons said. "It wasn't a mistake, one or the other. They just entered it for both an O and a zero, because we've run it both ways and the warrant pops up both ways."
Dausman said he tried to resolve the problem by contacting Gilpin County courts and the sheriff's office dispatch, and was told he needed to provide the name of the suspect tied to the warrant — information no one would give him because it involves an ongoing criminal investigation."
