==SPECIAL REPORT: Police Pre-Crime Algorithm Uses Social Media Posts Against You
in Real-Time==
>Private sector surveys have found that 83% of law enforcement now use social me
dia in conducting investigations, while social media data that has been used for
probable cause in warrants has been upheld by courts 87% of the time when chall
enged.
>For most, social media fits into the investigation through the use of predictiv
e policing software, such as the Beware system sold by Intrado, who operate the na
tionwide 9-1-1 emergency communications system used by police and first responde
rs in every case. As the Examiner reported:
>Your local police department is likely using numerous tools and applications th
at might determine how you get treated during a routine traffic stop, or in resp
onse to your neighbors call about loud music. One such application, Beware, has b
een sold to police departments since 2012. It can be accessed on any Internet-en
abled device, including tablets, smartphones, laptop and desktop computers, whil
e responders are en route to, or at the location of a call.
>This app explores billions of records in social media postings, commercial and
public databases for law enforcement needs, churning out risk profiles in real tim
e. Beware algorithm assigns a score and threat rating to a person green, yellow or r
ed and sends that rating to a requesting officer. Worst of all, this information
is not made available to the very person whose threat rating is being appraised.
You have no ability to dispute being wrongly designated a high-risk potential of
fender.
>For example, you wrote something about recent Ferguson protests on Facebook. Pe
rhaps, you expressed dissatisfaction with police brutality. Maybe you complained
about the CIAs torture tactics, demanded President Obamas impeachment or criticiz
ed the government in general. You could have shared a petition for the preservat
ion of gun rights, or bought a holster online. You could also be mistaken for an
other person with a criminal record or a history of radical Internet postings. I
t could mean the difference between waltzing off with a warning, or being subjec
ted to a brutal takedown at gun point. It could turn a simple knock at the door
into a full-blown SWAT raid.

/pol/ needs to see this. We are fast approaching the point of no return, where o
ur police state will have hermetically sealed the open-aired prison we call Amer
ica.
Fuck this is creepy.
