Fwd: [omni-comms] BART Police Propose Surveillance Dragnet

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. <https://oaklandprivacy.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59c972c3a97d046d6…> Agenda Item 5B <https://oaklandprivacy.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59c972c3a97d046d6…> on 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. * Tweet at hashtag #NODACFORBART Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board of Directors Meeting Kaiser Center, 20th Street Mall 2040 Webster Street (Enter at the left of CVS) Oakland CA 94612 August 9 9:00AM *This note was sent to you by the folks at Oakland Privacy.

sudo loot

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I'm bringing over a bunch of electronics components from BioCurious this afternoon. I have three parts drawer racks, plus several more bins with plastic baggies of parts. Mostly discrete components, but there are some chips and a few short tapes of surface mount components. These all look to be very new, well organized and labeled, so I think they will come in very handy for the electronics hackers at Sudo. Patrik

upstairs laser printer

by Jake

I wanted to print something tonight and went to the web interface for the laser printer: http://192.168.42.2:8888/ (it only works if you're in the Omni) and when I tried to print it didn't work. Why? Because someone stole the ethernet cable that had been connecting the printer to the network! Why would you do that? don't do that. It took me a long time but i found a replacement cable of the right length, and i put it back up there, and then i was able to print. if you want to print, go to the above address. If you just want to check in on the printer (and make sure its ethernet cable isn't unplugged) you can go to: http://100.64.64.88/ thank you -jake P.S. Tom Levine made the excellent web interface above, unfortunately it doesn't know what to do if the printer isn't online.

And the second half of the workshop will be art & science explorations led by CCL hosts including using Daphnia magnus, a small water organism to test piezo electric principles in biology. We're hoping to amplify their movements and explore other electrifying bio topics Workshop suggested fee: $10 to cover materials & prep; NOTAFLOF (No One is Turned Away for Lack of Funds) Classes are open to all CCL members and the general public.
