The fact that you are paranoid means everything, especially that they are trying to get you.



Upon reading the AP article below, I was compelled  to write:


It has been demonstrated that some connected to each of you, in one way or another, have the capacity to perform any abomination. The below and my earlier  ​
​demonstrates why I object to your inclusion of the personal data on one of your employees in files provided to me.

And no, I shall not delete it. 

The fact that you are paranoid does not mean that they are not out to get you. You may remember that your officers were concerned about my possible possession of nuclear weapons.





JILL LAWLESS

LONDON — A man accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Britain had former Prime Minister Tony Blair's address in his car, a prosecutor said Tuesday during opening arguments in a trial held under contentious conditions of secrecy.
Erol Incedal, a 26-year-old Londoner, is accused of preparing a terrorist act and possessing bomb-making instructions. He denies the charges.
In opening arguments at a London criminal court, lawyer Richard Whittam said the Blair address might be significant, though prosecutors don't argue that Incedal "had settled on a specific target or a particular methodology" for an attack.
He said Incedal may have been planning to attack a "significant" individual or to stage indiscriminate Mumbai-style shootings.
As leader, Blair took the U.K. into the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, a decision that remains widely unpopular in Britain.
Whittam said the piece of paper with Blair's address was found in a glasses case in Incedal's car when he was stopped for a traffic offense in September 2013. He said that during the search, police placed a listening device in the car.
Incedal was arrested later that year, and prosecutors sought to have the trial held in secret on national security grounds.
British judges often impose reporting restrictions while trials are underway, usually to avoid prejudicing future proceedings, and portions of trials have previously been held without media or the public present. But lawyers said an entire secret criminal trial was unprecedented.
After a challenge from media organizations, a judge ruled that some sections should be held in public, including part of the prosecution's opening statement and the verdict.
Some journalists will be allowed to attend proceedings, but not to report on them as they unfold.
A second suspect arrested with Incedal, Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar, has pleaded guilty to possessing a document entitled "bomb making" and will be sentenced at the end of the trial.

Collecting, Categorizing and Analyzing Demographic Data in San Diego in the years of the Profiling Plague.

A letter essentially identical to the below was sent to Chief Lansdowne on the date indicated. I refrained from using my preferred expression "bullshit detector" and instead used the lame "balderdash detector." I must and will do better. February 15, 2014 William Lansdowne Chief, San Diego Police Department By email to : sdpdpolicechief @pd.sandiego.gov Subsequent to my communication, to you, that contained my analysis of 2013 stop data , I located one or more Official San Diego documents that contained other analyses and officer comments. The analyses were not at odds with mine. So were the observations and comments, including those of the officers and supervisors. I harbour no doubt that you are familiar with all of them. Aside from directing you to the obvious, i.e. the possibility of constituting stop analysis data from Citation data [1] , I will let you re-read them for yourself.

Berkeley; the bastion of progressive values?

April 26, 2018 Yesterday, I sent the within to the Mayor of Berkeley and others, in the mayor's office, as listed. Much nothing will come of it; not until Berkeley is sued for some  atrocity in policing. Believe me, it is just a matter of time. Doubtless we will have the usual protestations, denials and promises. The lot below shall not be able to say that they did not know of the rot; the oppression; the bias. Berkeley's data is, for want of a polite expression, piss-poor. This opinion may be partly driven by the fact that the data is not in the form that Berkeley represents it to be; that over 3,400 records have no demographic data, and that it leaves out some of the most basic, the most common, policing data elements. On the other hand, it carries data of other persons involved in the stop, but one cannot determine who is driver and who is passenger. It is, as it is, but it tells the same old story, and it tells plenty; albeit less vividly than most other places. Mayor...

Even More Fatally Flawed And Still Unfit for Purpose or The Great Distraction

Subject: RIPA Advisory Board – More Fatally Flawed and Still Unfit for Purpose   I wanted to wait until I came into possession of the actual 2025 Annual RIPA Report, before writing this, but I found myself between a rock and a hard place. My strongest motivator was fear; fear of reading a newspaper or web-account of the RIPA results or seeing a TV Broadcast that is ruled by lies and/or happy talk. I remember last year too well.  I also feared that, as was the case with the reports from the last few years, the RIPA Report, to which the press has early or immediate access, would not become available to me for several days.  Because of that, I decided to write this.   “Racial Discrimination is an inference that may be drawn from Racial Disparities.” In the absence of other inferences, or plausible explanations, our choices become limited.   There is an abundance of racial disparities to be found in RIPA data. I am unaware of any adverse disparity that has...
