Alec Karakatsanis, founder of the Civil Rights Corps and author of Alec’s Copaganda Newsletter on SubStack, joins to discuss his recent writings on police body cameras.
Alec Karakatsanis then joins, diving right into the body camera’s shady origins as a piece of technology corporations were pitching TO police and prosecutors, touching on how it would serve as an incredibly dynamic, police-controlled node in the industry’s goal of a mass surveillance network, alongside providing massive contract opportunities to tech corporations. After expanding on the role of AI and facial/vocal recognition in body cameras’ use, Karakatsanis explores the particular role prosecution played in pushing for the use of this technology, helping provide curated evidence to keep the rapid churn of low-level convictions and plea deals moving at a rate that can support the US’ incomparably massive prison system. Wrapping up, Alec walks Sam through the unsurprising failure of the body camera policy, and what this saga can tell us about the efficacy and prevalence of copaganda.
