I've always wondered about the people engineering devices like this, the people at Harris Corp. creating Stingrays and other surveillance platforms, how they feel about their work. Listing individual employees might be a bit much, but we could certainly create one of companies involved. Unfortunately I fear it would be a long list.
- eonw 10y agoim sure their most important hiring aspect is a certain mindset. once you get someone truly believing they are working on the side of good, they will do just about anything. zealotry is alive and well.
- kpil 10y agoI'm sure Stingrays catches a lot of bad guys. The problem is if the police is corrupted and are using it outside the law, or not by the intention of the law. (As this civil case nonsense)
- joncp 10y agoHarris has very very high turnover. I believe that people get hired not knowing what they're getting into. It takes a while to figure out that not all is as it should be.
- sonthonax 10y agoStingrays were used by NATO forces in Afghanistan to listen into Taliban mobile phone chatter, as they didn't use radios.
- Merad 10y agoMost people don't have a moral backbone nearly as string as they think they do. There was an article last week, posted here IIRC, about a an adware company in the northeast that was apparently a pretty good employer other than morally and ethically repugnant nature of the product being created. Several of the employees interviewed talked about the mental hoops they jumped through to justify working there.
