"It is really critical for people to understand that while much attention and conversation is usually placed around federal agencies like the FBI and the NSA […] local spy surveillance and infiltration even before the creation of [the] FBI by several decades . "- Hamid Khan
in this last installment of our secure Sessions podcast, our Josh host Hamid Khan on the line, coordinator for the stop LAPD Spying Coalition. Stopping LAPD Spying Coalition is an alliance of organizations and individuals alike who came together to reject oppression and policies that all suspected civilians in the eyes of the police state. The vision of this alliance is to dismantle popular espionage sanctioned by the government and intelligence gathering. Such an effort, as detailed by Khan, was a campaign against the predictive police.
This particular discussion was very educational, with Hamid pulling the curtain on local supervisory practices. As much as we talk about spying of the federal government, it is rare that the conversation trickle down to local level. But some of the largest cities in the United States - Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and especially - have a long history (with LA dating as far back as 1923) surveillance and infiltration
insane amounts. firepower and surveillance equipment that has made its way to the army LAPD, the database Joint Terrorism Task Force that some 14,000 local law agencies subscribe to, and unethical lines intelligence gathering guidelines used by local police - no topic is too outrageous for this duo.
