Virtually every NYPD encounter runs through a system that returns biased, inaccurate, and even illegal information. The New York City Police Department’s Domain Awareness System (“DAS”) is Google for cops: a searchable repository of CCTV feeds, surveillance data, and police records that officers routinely search for people and places. Too often, DAS results paint a biased or flat-out wrong picture. The NYPD has even fought to let the DAS to return illegal-to-access records.

This panel brings Jerome D. Greco (Digital Forensics Director, The Legal Aid Society), Anca Grigore (Director, Seizure and Surveillance Defense Project, Brooklyn Defenders), Brian Frazelle (Deputy Chief Counsel, Constitutional Accountability Center) and Michelle Dahl (Executive Director, Surveillance Technology Oversight Project) to examine the damage that the DAS inflicts and what can be done about it.
