I’m honored to be presenting at the Indigenous Media Conference next Friday. Stop by to learn about how tribal police acquire surveillance tech and how border tech is impacting indigenous communities.

10 – 11 a.m. Law Enforcement Surveillance Technologies and Indigenous Communities | Bosque Presenters: Dave Maass, Director of Investigations, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Reynolds Scholar in Residence at the University of Nevada, Reno Reynolds School of Journalism Law enforcement agencies are adopting increasingly advanced surveillance technologies to gather intelligence on the populations they are meant to protect – and this includes Indigenous communities. Through the AtlasofSurveillance.org project, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has been documenting the growth and evolution of this technology, including drones, license plate readers, face recognition and artificial intelligence. The session will cover the tech deployed by tribal police and how it’s funded, as well as how federal surveillance is growing in tribal communities in the borderlands. It will also include tips and techniques for covering and investigating surveillance tech as it continues to proliferate.
