Protestors are demonstrating in Minneapolis in response to police brutality. Here are the surveillance tools the Minneapolis PD could be using to watch them.
Minneapolis has been the center of these protests followingHe died after being detained by a white police officer, who pressed his knee into Floyd's neck. The moments before his death, which were captured on camera, showed Floyd struggling to breathe, repeatedly telling police “I can’t breathe” and “they’re going to kill me.”
“At a high level, these surveillance technologies should not be used on protestors,” Neema Singh Guiliani, a senior legislative counsel for the ACLU, told BuzzFeed News. “The idea that you have groups of people that are raising legitimate concerns and now that could be subject to face recognition or surveillance, simply because they choose to protest, amplifies the overall concerns with law enforcement having this technology to begin with.
The Minneapolis Police Department, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, and Minnesota Fusion Center did not respond to requests for comment.
