martinez. by day, freddy is a -- [ inaudible ] by night, freddy martinez is in my mind the leader of what i think is the most exciting grass roots anti- -- [ inaudible ] and he is a technologist and familiarized himself with the freedom of information to learn an incredible amount about the use of stringray technology in chicago. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming freddy martinez. >> thanks, alvaro. how's my sound? yes? great. so i'm going the try to get through these quickly. a little bit about me. well, we'll talk about sort of the work i've done. sting rays in general. concerns for people of color and then what we'll be working on in the next 60 to 90 days and some things to work on over the next couple of years. so i'm a physicist by training. i was once called a skinny fidgety reporter from vice. but i love that. and yeah. i'm a technologist by day. so my motivation -- it all started over a beer at a bar. you know, everyone in this room knows this phrase. like someone should really look into this and inevitably like you're that person that looks into it. but because i'm a phys

it's great to follow someone like freddie martinez is doing such great present a word.to me as an historian, the simplest technology of surveillance remains the most profound, the most dangerous come at the most troubling and that is human informants. in the technology of the 1960s, the fbi had three waves of surveilling dr. king. bugs, microphones come in the sewers in fbi lingo. and wiretaps. in the 60s, given the microphone surveillance required trespass in the bureau was very hesitant about committing criminal trespass. wiretaps were incredibly time-consuming and it is safe to run throughout most of those years the fbi is operating 60, 75, 80 wiretaps. but i want to concentrate on human and torments and i want to tell two quick stories. the first involves dr. king and the second involves the african-american who is actually the most surveilled person of the 1960s. not dr. king, but elisha mohammed had a notorious vote politically conservative nation of islam. i got interested in this in 1979 and in 1979, thanks to the church committee, thanks to attorney general and

please join me to welcome freddie martina's. -- martinez. >> i will try to get through this quickly. we will talk about the work we have done. with people of color i was once called base can be paid june of a 20 year-old by a reporter and i am a technologist by day. so my motivation and started over a beer at a bar everybody knows this phrase like you are that person. but because i am a physicist and have experience with different technologies allows me to do this kind of stuff. up for motivation so i take that and apply that to the work with the things that we do. i love this slide but for some reason there is a news channel tried to look into stingray technology but they believe so journalists don't do this but the ways that we approach technology and the way we've understand policing will double times the police department just with the basic facts. it is like this suitcase size device pick a but in tennis on their enforces your phone to give of the identifying information about you without, there is no opt in it just forces you to register. so there are a couple of the defectors

we learned about stingray technology, who thanks to freddie martinez of lucy parsons labs, which you should all follow now, is using free dole of information act to finger out how stingrays is being used on the streets of chicago in predominantly low income black and latino communities. now hear from my wonderful colleagues from the center on privacy and technology, claire garvey and jonathan frankel on a third technology that is being used in this manner, facial recognition technology. >> thanks. alvero. so i want to set up this discussion about facial recognition technology which a bit of a hypothetical. so imagine you're walking down the street in a town or a city, something we do all day, or daily, heading home from work maybe, going to a doctor's appointment, maybe attending a political rally. generally speaking when we engage in this activity we do so with the assumption that we're doing so anonymously. we have relative anonymity. sure, we are presenting our face in public and may come across a co-worker or neighbor, we'll say hi, they'll identify us but we don't think that we'

it's great to follow someone like freddy martinez who is doing such grea a great presenty perk.o me as a historian, the simplest technology of surveillance remains the most profound, the most dangerous, the most troubling. and that is human informants. in the technology of the 1960s, the fbi had three ways of surveying doctor king. human informants, bugs, microphones, and fbi lingo, and wiretaps. in the 60s, durin doing a microe surveillance required to trespass. the bureau was very hesitant and conservative about committing criminal trespass. wiretaps were incredibly time-consuming and expensive to run throughout most of the years the fbi is operating 60-75, 80 wiretaps. but i want to concentrate on human informants come and i will tell two quick stories. the first involves doctor king. the second involves the african-american who was the most surveilled person of the 1960s. not doctor king but elijah mohammed, the politically conservative nation of islam. i got interested in this in 1979 and in 1979, thanks to the church committee, thanks to the attorney general ed tv and the

freddie martinez will tel tell s about staying with technology and its impact on black electorate communities in chicago. chicago. claire garvey farmer owns and what they about facial recognition technology. and how it may misidentify african-americans at higher rates than whites. led by professor says he will take a deep dive into predictive policing. professor ferguson what they about the constitutional issues raised by these techniques, about their impact on communities, and about the department of justice approach to this technology. we are not just going to talk about technology. and so we will be reminded the policing techniques used every day in low income black communities stop and frisk, confidential informants, those are forms of surveillance also. led by professor patterson we see the surveillance isn't always about policing either. instead are fans of bridges and hamid khan will tell us about the simple fact that being poor may subject you and your family to near constant monitoring. and with professor bumper, brown and others we will ask some even more fundamental questions. scho

[applause] so i want to set up this discussion about facial recognition technology with a bit of a hypothetical. imagine you're walking down the street in a town or city, something we do all day, or daily, heading home from work maybe, going to doctors of women. women. maybe you're attending a political rally. generally speaking, when we engage in this type of activity we do so with the assumption of we are doing so anonymously with relative anonymity. we are presenting our face in public and we may run across, come across a cowork
