I kind of share the sentiment expressed in the final quote of the article. From the way the dataset is described this could be really helpful to criminals and really harmful and dangerous for other folks - police and civilian alike.

I would rather have an extra criminal on the streets than risk ruining someones live that is innocent because some cop planted evidence.

Just this week a bodycam from NYC officer shows him planting drugs over 2 years ago. The person who's involved took a plea deal because they didn't want to risk going to jail for many years. The cop still has his job and this wasn't the first time.

Try getting a job in the US with a criminal record.

I don’t think that’s the bargain here.

Fusion centers seem to be shared databases of threats that federal, state, and local agencies all contribute to.

Given the scale, it’s likely more of the focus is on organizations, not individuals.

Given the nature of internal misconduct, I think it’s safe to assume that wouldn’t be shared period, let alone in venues such as these.

In cases where it does need to be shared, e.g. covered up NYPD misconduct affects FBI case, I’d assume they have alternative means to this sort of spreadsheet-broadcast impression I’m getting of the centers.

Could be totally off, either way I suppose we’ll find out now.
