                                    so i've been investigating something as of late.
                                    some of you might know Carter sharer and Lizzy sharer, and a video they made sometime back where they cracked a safe opened, and found some...money...and it is in my opinionthat this is fake.
                                    first off, the from a police standpoin, you don't just "call the police, and the FBI shows up" out of the blue.
                                    these calls, even when you consider that the call might've been responded to by what I presume to be the Marilyn state police, responds first, the federal doesn't respond untill later.
                                    also, btw, I find it suspicious that the "FBI vehicle" had Pennsylvania license plates.
                                    and why would a police officer drive a fucking civilian car, which I believe is the chevrolet impala Sudan? no fuckking reason that should be happening.
                                    o and yes, my favorite (not) looking at it from a forensics.
                                    first off, when they were, cracking open, this safe, as I recall, there was no ensed layer. for example, if you're in a body farm where you need to do constant testing on a dead body, you're going to have to fucking guard that farm. fensing, maybe cameras, climate controlled environment. otherwise, assume it as a DNA contaminant environment.
                                    when the officer clames to have found fingerprints, the problem is, even if, say, you found ingerprints, you didn't scan them to, let's say, Carter's and Lizzie's, fingerprints. or even sobbing their fingernails. which means if you went in front of a jury, in front of a prosicutor and said "prosicutor, I found this fingerprint / palmprint", if I was a prosicutor, i'd laugh you the fuck out!
                                    furthermore, let's remember that there was already cros contamination when that safe was opened. it was windy, so how do you assume climate control?
                                    and my fucking favorite! ...
                                    the evidence bag.
                                    tell me you were in a or role, and that you used a fucking trash bag. a trash bag! for...collecting evidence? no!

                                    in any competent forensic investigation, you never use a trash bag to collect evidence! that is just a disaster weighting to happen! in fact, from what my video description tool read to me, there was no signature of any of the evidence at all, knore was there any stamping. if I remember correctly, when you put evidence, every single person who touches that evidence has to fucking sign. intials and date, I believe, with a sticker. and the bag is made out of a special plastic, polyethylene plastic, I believe it is.
                                    the other problem is, as far as I'm aware, no one concerned to their cameras being taken by the officers.

                                    this includes a camera.
                                    and let's say, persay, that you were concerned about deletion. why the fuck take it, still? I assume these are cheap cameras that you can buy on Amazon, or even an expensive one. they have one common issue with deletion: most cameras don't actually "delete" the video. they are still available to the file allocation table in the actual camera file system, on the memmery card. they are just marked as "free space".
                                    in fact, most cameras in the content creation market are, as far as I know, encrypted.
                                    and let's say yo u were concerned about them posting it. why the fuck do you allow them to post before the taking of the camera? now the officers markis and agent Hanson I believe their names were are at risk because you put them in this video, or set of videos rather.
                                    if it is somehow real, then damn, this must be the most incompetent forensics investigation in the history of the God damn world!

                                                          This is called mission creep: installing surveillance for one reason and using it for another. Most high tech police surveillance and a lot of smart city tech experiences mission creep specifically around increased surveillance and other police uses.

                                                          When cities approve these technologies, they aren’t aware of all the possible future uses, they’re often making a decision to install them based on a specific use.

Activists already believed they were likely under surveillance by the Atlanta Police Department due to evidence in criminal cases brought against them, but the extent of the monitoring has only just been revealed. The Brennan Center for Justice has obtained and released over 2,000 pages of emails from inside the Atlanta Police Department chronicling how closely they were watching the social media of the movement….“

                                                                        Good overview of the use of big data in policing and predictive policing. Not a lot of analysis along a critical race or surveillance studies angle, but I guess it’s a good companion to Benjamin, Alexander, Browne, Muhammad. Written in a very compelling way.
