The New York State Police are watching your social media

The New York State Police bought social media monitoring programs that have violated platforms’ policies and been used to surveil Black Lives Matter protesters.

C'mon man

Media Sonar kept a running list of “high frequency social media terms that can help identify … threats to public safety” — among them, “policebrutality,” “blacklivesmatter,” “fuckthesystem,” “dontshoot,” and “mikebrown.”

They forgot FUKH. That one is very frequently used!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yes... I know.

So what's the social media posting equivalent, of setting your cruise control 8mph over the speed limit in NYS. Asking for a friend.

 

[STS556]

I might as well get on a list too if not already.

Nice to have you.

If I change my signature to "I Heart Cops", is it the same as having the blue line bumper sticker?

Asking for a friend.

NYSP is second string, you better be on the ATF watch list if you want to play in the majors.

I have a hard time believing they are surveilling BLM protestors. That doesn't jive with past history of how the left treats those ACTUAL rioters.

Most likely they are looking for those terms to identify conservative complainants about how BLM is given a free pass to riot, loot, murder, etc.

After all, we "don't belong in New york"

 

[kev74]

I've updated my signature.

I'm sure its going to work like the lamb's blood on Passover, and the goon squad will pass right by me.

And???

Wut ya' gonna do about that?


Again, I'll say it... broken record I know, but I'm counting the days and can't wait to get the fuck out of this shithole of a State!

Yes... I know.

It's not surveillance if you post it on a public platform.

It's probing (or investigating) in absence of a crime. Still doesn't make it right.

So now the police can't look at things open in the public (because that's all this is)? If that's the case why don't we blindfold them all day on patrol, we wouldn't want them to look at things out in public where a crime hasn't been committed after all. Maybe we can just keep them in the back of a giant uhaul truck, wait for crime to be reported, and transport them over the the crime scene. Only then can they take off the eye-mask.

Sorry but if you post things via a publicly available method of communication and someone you don't want to read it does read it, that's entirely on you.

I am part of this team. The Blue team that is. Not the State Police team.

I still the back the Police in the US as much as possible. I call them, department and individual, whenever I see fit.

Calling out bad Policing is becoming more and more common.


Some teams are worse than others. I have very little interest in backing the State Police. It is very difficult to support them and what they do on a regular basis.

If a crime has been committed (or the implied indication) and the investigation takes them in that direction, absolutely, have at it. However, in the absence of any crime, I think those resources (and money) could be better spent. Otherwise this is just a solution in search of a problem and that bar can be lowered at any time.

But I can see how most boot-lickers would agree with you.

That's all fine and good, but at the end of the day they're going to keep doing it because things put in public places aren't private and as such it's legal for them to do these things. Your agreement with them doing it (or not) is irrelevant.

I have no expectations otherwise. I only said it was wrong, not illegal. I simply applied my own definition and what i thought of it. My mistake was in doing it as a reply to you, which invited your exaggerated, assumptive response. Seems I struck a nerve...actually I think this whole thread did.

I can also see how most boot-lickers would agree that the way the .gov spends the money it takes from the people is irrelevant.

If Hochul's Henchmen are going to surveil us here, may I suggest that they post themselves in stall #3 at every I-90 rest area and read all the garbage written on the walls there. They might even find something sticking through one of the glory holes that they can suck on for a while.

Seriously, do they not have better things to do ? Real crimes to solve perhaps ? Oh, I forgot...those of us that don't subscribe to the uber-liberal mindset ARE the criminals, and they're just searching for the crime we committed.


Oh, and just because I know you jack booted purple tie ficktards are reading this, GO SUCK A FAT DICK !
