Reminder that the NY police department is the only municipal police department in the world with detachments in foreign countries. To protect New York, of course!

Maybe the police should focus on responding to noise complaints in a timely way instead of engaging in yet more surveillance? When I lived in NYC every noise complaint took at least 12 hours to get a police response. Sometimes they wouldn’t come until days later.

Pigs don’t need drones to follow up on noise complaints. They need drones to know which parties have black people in attendance so they’ll know which noise complaints to take seriously.

Where does it end? Soon enough they’ll be using those wifi cameras that see through walls just to check up on noise complaints from a neighbor.
