Police are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data
"More notably, researchers analyzed the data to show how officers spend their time, and the patterns that emerge tell a striking story about how policing actually works. Those results, too, comport with existing research showing that U.S. police spend much of their time conducting racially biased stops and searches of minority drivers, often without reasonable suspicion, rather than “fighting crime."
Green Scared #Zine
"At the end of 2005, the #FBI opened a new phase of its assault on earth and animal liberation movements—known as the Green Scare—with the arrests and indictments of a large number of activists. This offensive, which they dubbed Operation Backfire, was intended to obtain convictions for many of the unsolved #Earth Liberation Front arsons of the preceding ten years—but more so, to have a chilling effect on all ecological direct action.
In this analysis, originally published in Rolling Thunder in 2008, we review everything we can learn from the Operation Backfire cases, with the intention of passing on the lessons for the next generation of #environmental activists."
From Malpensa to Tel Aviv: Italian police use Israeli software to spy on anti-deportation activsts
„Police violence is about more than batons. It also manifests itself through interference and encroachment into private life. Police have always used an odious set of tools to achieve this. They follow people’s movements and observe and listen to their daily lives.
Today, however, access by police forces and governments to confidential, detailed and sensitive information can be much more pervasive than one might imagine. The spyware system Paragon, that has recently come to light, is one example of this. The services provided by the Israeli company Cellebrite are another, albeit different, example.
We have written this text because we believe it may help people protect themselves from the pervasive surveillance by the authorities. We invite you to share it widely.…“
@0tracas@veganism.social@autonomysolidarity @0tracas De Malpensa à Tel Aviv: La police italienne utilise le logiciel israélien pour espionner les activités anti-déportation
«La violence policière est plus que les chauves-souris. Elle se manifeste également par l'ingérence et l'empiètement dans la vie privée. La police a toujours utilisé un ensemble odieux d'outils pour y parvenir. Ils suivent les mouvements des gens et observent et écoutent leur vie quotidienne.
Toutefois, aujourd ' hui, l ' accès des forces de police et des gouvernements à des informations confidentielles, détaillées et sensibles peut être beaucoup plus répandu que l ' on ne l ' imagine. Le système d'espionnage Paragon, qui est récemment venu à la lumière, en est un exemple. Les services fournis par la société israélienne Cellebrite sont un autre exemple, bien que différent.
Nous avons écrit ce texte parce que nous croyons qu'il peut aider les gens à se protéger de la surveillance généralisée par les autorités. Nous vous invitons à le partager largement.»
