Over 600 hours of aerial surveillance footage taken by police helicopters in and around Dallas, TX and Atlanta, GA.
The extensive footage reveals the capabilities of the “military-grade” technology behind police surveillance. It also highlights the voyeurism inherent in surveillance and how it often focuses on protected first amendment activities and people who have no idea they’re being watched and who’ve done nothing to justify the intrusion of surveillance.
“People associate police helicopters with watching traffic, but what we see with the footage is that they do a lot more than that, and they use very advanced technology to do it.” – DDoSecrets
