A document leaked by 404 Media, called "ICE Wide Analytical Tools" is published in full at the link below. It reveals the array of surveillance tech at ICE's fingertips — everything from phone location data, to facial recognition, to tracking cars. All this tech is at the expense of the Public. All the consequences of its abuse are at the expense of the Public. (The white-nationalist terror group onto whom this vast power has been bestowed has effective impunity. Remember that it was chartered under the ironically designated Patriot Act as a small ephemeral task force to locate and disrupt skyjacker sleeper cells, but the entire Patriot Act including ICE was crafted on false pretexts, to justify domestic & global wars of xenophobia & plunder including summary abductions & executions in the streets of our communities.)

Would be such a tragedy if someone developed a DOS attack against #SurveillanceSpecs. Especially if it drained or overheated the non-replaceable battery.

Quoting
The EU relaxes its replaceable batttery rules for smart glasses after US pressure.
Smart glasses are in European regulators’ and lawmakers’ crosshairs over privacy and surveillance concerns.
But the bloc’s batteries regulation also held up the EU rollout of Meta’s latest model in recent months because the glasses’ built-in batteries cannot be easily removed and replaced.

WA police surveillance cameras: AI technology to monitor public spaces
WA police launch real-time AI camera surveillance to catch criminals
WA Police will become the first force in the country to use real-time AI-generated facial recognition in public spaces.
The state government on Friday launched the Overt Live Facial Recognition program with a trial of the cameras at the police academy in Joondalup
The technology monitors groups of people from police vans and compares faces against a database of targets in real-time.

👁️ Smart glasses with native facial recognition. Residential surveillance networks. License plate tracking.
As biometric wearables and AI-powered surveillance tools proliferate, the conversation around consent, oversight, and civil liberties has never been more urgent.
Where do we draw the line?

In future when you think I'm being super paranoid and over-exaggerating about this stuff, I'm gonna need you to shut the fuck up.
