    Police also traced his movements before the shooting via a Greyhound bus originating in Atlanta and bound for New York City.

    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 🤬🤬🤬🤬

        The NYPD deployed specialist scuba divers to search the bottom of Central Park’s lake at the weekend, while dogs combed the parks wooded areas in search for the gun used in the shooting. Police have not yet said they found anything

        scuba divers with floodlights lol

        EDIT: and probably metal detectors

        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.

          Not all surveillance has the ability to follow an individual back in time and space to any arbitrary position.

          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.

            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.
