We knew that one day the Domain Awareness Center would come back.

On Thursday, BART police will propose a system-wide security dragnet for
the Bay Area's transit system, hoping to get the board to greenlight it
before the passage of a surveillance transparency ordinance.

BART police are asking the board to approve the project in concept and
authorize trials at Lake Merritt and Civic Center BART stations.

*No privacy policy. No civil rights impact assessment. No data storage and
access rules.*

*No go. *



We need a strong public showing on Thursday morning to tell BART that* this
will not stand. *

The Bay Area has rejected wall to wall surveillance every time it has
reared its head.

BART is planning to use the same platform that was proposed as the "brains"
of the Domain Awareness Center  (PSIM). The plan calls for 2000 CCTV
cameras to be converted to IP-based for geospatial tagging and advanced
real-time video analytics, likely facial recognition technologies already
proven to be inaccurate and biased.

August 9 Meeting Agenda

BART has sat on its hands and delayed the adoption of a surveillance
technology ordinance approved by its tech commiitee in* 2016. *

Now BART Police are attempting to *rush through* an aggressive new
surveillance network with only 72 hours notice.

There are plenty of common sense things BART could do with $15-25 million
dollars to improve security on the transit system without treating every
passenger like a criminal suspect.

The last thing Nia Wilson would want is her death used to increase the
high-tech harassment of Black and Brown people.

*BART is a subway, not a perpetual lineup. *
