    The data use policy for the pilot states that the footage cannot be actively monitored for law enforcement purposes, but that police may request access to previously stored footage.

    So I guess they’ll only be providing live data to who? Food deliveries? Feed it into the healthcare system so they can be given medical care?

    “Our ability to help the individuals directly is not really part of the pilot,

    Yeah, it’s just a tool for pigs to sieze your shelter, property and violently oppress the most vulnerable.

    “We’re not detecting folks,” Tawfik said. “We’re detecting encampments. So the interest is not identifying people because that will be a violation of privacy.”

    Zero fucking self-awareness. All these techbros selling shitty python code to make it easier for fash boots to locate prole necks are class traitors and need to face the fucking wall.

        They can spend millions on contractors to create surveillance software but its Communism if you build affordable/free housing and give people free healthcare. Utterly bizarre SV government logic. Don’t worry bro, tech will fix it.

          I think a lot of liberals are so utterly domesticated by capitalism that they instinctually see any suggestion to improve society somewhat as dangerous.
