Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This kind of backwards surveillance is chilling
It shows that pigs could catch and solve any crime they wanted, but that detail will be conveniently ignored ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ
scuba divers with floodlights lol
EDIT: and probably metal detectors
Isn't that just surveillance?
"He arrived on a bus from Atlanta."
Yeah, sounds like pretty standard investigating.
Not all surveillance has the ability to follow an individual back in time and space to any arbitrary position.
Maybe I'm not using the right term but I'm describing this kind of whole-picture surveillance that was perfected with surveillance drones in Iraq and Afghanistan and is (Foucault's Boomerang style) now being established in the major metropoles.
at least it doesn't seem like they have any information/footage of him in Atlanta
For me, (not trying to talk shit on you personally), I consider that ability to be the outcome of a properly configured surveillance system. Being able to trace the components of the event (including a person of interest) both forward and backward in time in order to investigate.
It's not being able to trace forward and back in time alone that is significant, but across time and space, such that you find footage of a crime and trace the criminal's life backwards to their doorstep (or hostel). To do that across a city requires complete networked coverage, and is not normal - most cities can't do that. That type of surveillance technology is relatively new.
If you have surveillance of which bus he got off, you know where and when it came from. Not that complicated
The bus didn't drop him off at the scene of the crime. Tracing his movements back multiple days across the city is extremely complicated and requires a complete surveillance of the whole city.
