How the police use, misuse, and abuse your data - Session 8
Bluescreenofwin

How do the police harvest the data required to get their warrants approved by a judge? Where do all those license plate photos go? Does Ring give open ended access to the police to view any video feeds they want? How did TMZ get those photos of Rihanna?

I was in charge of the security for a police department for 7 years and have been trained and “certified” to access data in almost all modern data systems in use by law enforcement. I’ll share stories that will make you laugh, cry, and make you say WTF? We’ll cover some topics such as: What data do private companies freely share with law enforcement? What clearance is required to view this data and who can access it? What checks and balances are in place to protect your data? What happens when these systems are abused? Is there a secret law enforcement network? What about AI? Come on a journey with me to answer some of your most burning questions and let’s see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
