AI 'Thought Police' are ALREADY Here

The TV show 'Person of Interest' warned us about a mass surveillance "machine," and now, it's a reality in 2025. The NYPD is being sued for using a Microsoft-powered spy network, the Domain Awareness System (DAS), to monitor and track New Yorkers 24/7. This video explores the lawsuit filed by the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (Stop) and details the shocking extent of the data being collected: video surveillance, license plate readers, biometric data, social media scraping, financial analysis, and more. This information is reportedly stored indefinitely, even for those who have never been suspected of a crime. Is this a necessary tool for making New York safer, or are we watching '1984' and the 'thought police' become a reality, especially with the power of AI? We break down the complaint and discuss the frightening implications for data privacy and civil liberties. #surveillancestate #nypd #dataprivacy
