In 2018, Shane Goldsmith co-authored and got through the commission a policy change that requires LAPD to release dash cam and body camera footage within 45 days of a critical incident such as an officer involved shooting or allegations of abuse. But there is the legitimate point that officers of LAPD have a lot more power over their surveillance than they ever grant to citizens. Sarah Brain asked what she took to be the most transformative elements of predictive policing features that I didn't mention in the main episode. And you can get all future bonus content of the show, including long form discussions about philosophy between me and special guests.
On this bonus episode, I go into some of the history between the LAPD police commission and the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, and feature some of the tape from the Central station CSOC protest that didn't make it into the episode, including some creepy stuff that happened toward the end of the protest. I then talk to Sarah Brayne about the possibility of using surveillance technology to monitor the police themselves.
