Police Data: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataPolice/

Note: The following collection is not meant as a tabloid of horrible acts. I strongly believe some portion of them are entirely appropriate behavior. Rather, these are meant as a collection of stories which can be explored to find the dividing line between justifiable acts and misconduct.

Alleged Inappropriate

Recent alleged incidents of inappropriate activity (not necessarily bad, but examples for finding the dividing line):

Good Side

Asset Siezure

Airports

It's not just for mirror-shaded hillbillies anymore. Feds and major cities are doing asset seizure of money that refuses to prove its innocence at airports now.

But passengers don’t surrender their Fourth Amendment rights against warrantless searches by police just because they’re at the airport, according to multiple legal analysts and court documents.

The DEA officially calls its stops and searches at airport gates “cold consent encounters.” Passengers are free to end the discussion and walk away, according to the DEA, even if they’re unaware of those rights.

A federal judge recently dismissed the lawsuit filed by André and English in part because he said they should have known their stops were consensual and not a detention. The men were free to go even if they felt trapped by police on the jet bridge.

The men have filed a notice of appeal with the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

Others who have been searched at the boarding gate said they felt “coerced,” “pressured” or gave consent “under duress.”

In 2015, the Department of Justice Inspector General told the DEA it should stop causing confusion by referring to the searches as a “secondary inspection.”

“Such terminology creates a risk that travelers will interpret the statement to mean they are required to consent to the encounter, similar to their obligations at a TSA checkpoint,” the IG wrote.

Other Executive

CIA

   A military judge at Guantánamo Bay has ruled a 9/11 defendant incompetent to stand trial after a military medical panel found that the man’s sustained abuse in CIA custody years earlier had rendered him lastingly psychotic.
   ...The five 9/11 defendants were variously subjected to repeated waterboarding, beatings, violent repeated searches of their rectal cavities, sleep deprivation and other abuse while at so-called CIA black sites.
   The CIA says it stopped its detention and interrogation program in 2009. A Senate investigation concluded the abuse had been ineffective in obtaining useful information.

Rough Concept

  • Level of Scrutiny
    • In an ideal society, what level of scrutiny should citizens have over police?
    • In an ideal society, what level of scrutiny should police have over citizens?
    • If those two things are not in balance, why?
  • Improvement of Scrutiny
    • How do we improve the quality of scrutiny, in each case?
  • Exposing Bad Acting by Scrutinizers
    • There are bad scrutinizers; in each case, how do we expose and inhibit them?
  • Improving Good Scrutiny
    • In each case, there is good scrutiny; scrutiny which can create a path to improvement.
    • How do we increase good scrutiny in each case?
