They're looking for a white male ages 14 to 79 in Utah. So. Basically looking for a needle in a stack of several million needles.
This is where that super invasive dystopian surveillance tech could really come in handy.
In Xinjiang, administrators logged people as high, medium, or low risk, often according to 100-point scores with deductions for factors like growing a beard, being 15 to 55 years old, or just being Uyghur.
Help us narrow it down from a needle in a haystack to a needle in a haystack with a predictive score based on institutional bias. Book 'em Danno!
Telecom black rooms, Flock mass AI surveillance, NSA secret catalogue of zero days... we control the internet backbone and a lot of traffic flows through our country just because it's cheaper to route that way.
That's why we have fusion centers right? You can't use your fancy spy tech without people parallel constructing a plausible scenario for how someone was really caught.
Maybe they know where the shooter is right now and they're just waiting for people to finish the story. Social media post, a call to an old friend, have a tip placed anonymously, suddenly they find him at McDonald's.
They might find the shooter analyzing footage of the area but if the camera setup had anywhere near as many holes as any other college I've been to their chances are low, basically hoping social media got the shooter in the background.
It's also odd bc within hours of somebody being shot on a public street there was a video and sketch released, but with this guy they allegedly have ccTV footage of him, but they haven't even released it to the public
That's not the most dystopian surveillance tech around. It gets both more intrusive and more effective...
Think constant drone surveillance over a whole region. High res cameras, massive storage and long loiter times with glider like drones. You can just keep recording, and then when something like this happens, you just play the video back for the whole last day, following your suspect backward in time to when they left their home in the morning. The system isn't even all that expensive to operate.
Say goodbye to privacy.
Let’s throw in some haystacks too. We really need to see what we’re dealing with here.
Jokes on them, it was a brown woman with one of those ultra realistic masks.
