That network is shared with police departments in cities outside Seattle per the article.

I encourage people imagining this as some high-scale surveillance dragnet to look at the Seattle Shield website and form their opinions https://seattleshield.org/default.aspx?MenuItemID=53&MenuGro...

ah, yes, the little 8-line explanation there by the entity in question absolutely clears them of all suspicion, really.

i am sure that information obtained by seattle shield is not shared to anyone outside of seattle borders. police departments and the FBI are not known to share information, after all. police are especially cagey about sharing with other agencies when it comes to counter-terrorism.

People post cctv footage on YouTube all the time. Is this that different?

[john_strinlai]

yep

[whimsicalism]

I'm just encouraging people to look at the website itself, not actually the particular blurb I linked

[john_strinlai]

the 8 line blurb is the entire website, minus the membership signup and login. am i missing something?

[saghm]

There's also the contact form! I'm sure if I send them a nice message they'll clear everything up

[whimsicalism]

i'm just saying that the structure of this aspx website doesn't pass the sniff test as being part of some large-scale data trawl in partnership with tech companies

Not sure if you meant to reply here?
