It always amazes me there isn’t a publicly accountable oversight committee that comes with every major privacy violating power. The courts alone aren’t sufficent. And secret courts like FISA that are only selectively required are doubly insufficient.
- yieldcrv 4y agovarious municipalities enact oversight committees as a “gotcha” to rogue police departments all that happens is that the oversight committee doesn't get information shared to them there are other solutions

Within a month, the council member was pulled over and given a ticket, and her teenage daughter was pulled over and given a ticket. They don't say ACAB just because it's catchy.
