ENDing FACIAL RECOGNITION IN NYC

The NYPD abuses facial recognition technology to discriminate against BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, putting over-surveilled New Yorkers at risk of wrongful arrest and even police violence. If we Ban the Scan, ending government use of facial recognition, we will help millions of New Yorkers feel safer in their own communities.

GEOLOCATION TRACKING BAN

In addition to infringing New Yorkers’ fundamental right of privacy, geolocation tracking threatens rights to freedom of religion and speech. This bill would outlaw these abusive practices, prohibiting courts from issuing reverse search warrants and law enforcement agencies from seeking them.

Stop Online Police Fake Accounts and Keep Everyone Safe

Police use fake accounts to monitor Black Lives Matter activists and deceive children into exposing private content. This bill would prohibit police from creating fake social media accounts and coercing people to provide social media passwords.

Public Oversight Of Surveillance Technology

For years, the NYPD has built-up an arsenal of cutting-edge, military-grade spy tools without any public notice, debate, or oversight. The POST Act brings much-needed civilian review to NYPD policies, letting elected lawmakers know the types of surveillance conducted on New Yorkers and how that information is kept safe from federal agencies, including ICE.
