You could end up under police suspicion just for typing words into Google. And when you step outside, an array of cameras could be watching your every move, while a police drone hundreds of feet away zooms in for a closer look at what you’re up to. Meanwhile, at your child’s school, a camera outfitted with facial recognition technology is constantly scanning students’ faces as they walk through the halls. These scenarios are all too plausible in the over-surveilled state of New York. But as frightening as this all may sound, the solution isn’t to cower in fear. There are steps lawmakers can take to secure our privacy. We get into all this with two guests: Daniel Schwarz is the NYCLU’s Senior Privacy & Technology Strategist, and Stefanie Coyle is the Deputy Director of the NYCLU’s Education Policy Center.Resources: Follow our campaign on the government's drone data across New York here.Learn more about why dragnet warrants must be outlawed here. about NY's ban on facial recognition in schools here.For more on everything we discuss in this episode, visit nyclu.org. For transcripts and additional information on the episodes, visit nyclu.org/en/rightsthisway.Follow NYCLU on Twitter and Instagram.Please download, subscribe, rate, and review Rights This Way wherever you listen to it.
