The death of George Floyd after a white police officer knelt on

his neck for nearly nine minutes, was caught on camera by not

one but several witnesses as they begged officers to let Floyd

The footage following so many incidents of systemic racism and

police brutality filmed in recent years ignited protests around

the world. This for us to stand up in George's name and say,

To have our dear brother George Floyd's murder televised.

No one in their right mind, regardless of their ethnic identity

So that's where surveillance works in our favor.

They knew to record because no one ever believed them if they

told their story. As hundreds of thousands joined the protests,

cameras on both sides ignited debates over privacy and the right

to photograph. In the 1950s, news cameras expose the brutal

horror of legalized racism in the form of segregation.

Seventy years later, it is the cell phone camera that has

exposed the continuation of violence directed at

Law enforcement flew drones over protests in Minneapolis and New

York. Facial recognition software is being used with some police

body cameras. Law enforcement can use signals from your cell

phone or automatic license plate readers to follow your

movements. Images of unity or chaos spread across social media

in an instant. Every time they turn on social media, they get to

see in real time vivid HD pictures of Black pain.

In the age of surveillance, we wanted to find out how police are

tracking protests, how the data is used, and how cameras on

every officer and in every pocket have fundamentally changed the

Police surveillance of the Black community is not new.

From 18th century ordinances that required slaves in New York to

carry lanterns after dark to the FBI wiretapping of Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr., to stop and frisk policies that

disproportionately target people of color.

We have lived a certain level of surveillance since we lived on

these shores. And they're walking around waiting for you to do

What's different with the surveillance of recent protests is just

The mentality is often, let's put the technology out there, let's

use the surveillance, and then we'll deal with the problems

after the fact. And so often the problems after the fact have

been substantial and they've been problems that have been borne

disproportionately by communities of color.

Surveillance of these protests has involved multiple federal

agencies using groundbreaking tech from private vendors.

You see vendors bragging that they can identify hundreds of

Right? Or identify people as they walk by a camera.

There's also things like drone technology and the integration of

Four days after George Lloyd was killed in Minneapolis, Customs

and Border Protection flew an unarmed Predator drone over

protesters there. DEA, CBP and ICE do not have a role in this,

and they should not be using their surveillance technologies and

militarized equipment to combat protesters.

This increased presence of these officers is something that, you

know, not only chills individuals right to protest and makes

them more afraid, but it's just not contravention overall feel

of safety in the community. In an e-mail, CBP told CNBC that it

has resources deployed in several states at the request of law

enforcement in order to protect our communities and ensure that

the rights of Americans to peacefully protest are protected.

The drone was deployed to feed live video to law enforcement on

the ground to aid in situational awareness.

You want to have pinpoint accuracy if somebody is throwing things

at the police. You don't want the police to have a broad based

response and then go after everyone in front of them.

So having cameras and having video footage is going to help the

Protesters have also reported drone surveillance in New York,

where the NYPD's Technical Assistance Response Unit operates a

fleet of 14 surveillance drones with thermal sensors to detect a

I've literally been at a protest staring kind of eye level at a

drone. So I know that my face is on camera.

But a lack of transparency makes it hard to identify exactly what

tech each jurisdiction is using to identify and track

protesters. When you think about surveillance technologies, in

the vast majority of cases, they're required secretly.

They're not approved by publicly elected city councils or

Often we find out about them, you know, decades after they've

been deployed. Street level surveillance tools are also rapidly

advancing and remain largely unregulated.

The government has made so many, so many partnerships with

Big platforms like Clearview A.I., which is this giant facial

recognition platform which scrubbed a bunch of images from the

internet and are currently using them to run against people's

Another example is cell site simulators or Stingrays used by law

So your phone rather than going to a cell phone tower will ping

off this piece of surveillance technology and it will be able to

identify maybe who is in the area, how many phones are in the
