Demand Policing Transparency In Henrico!
This petition had 232 supporters
Some police departments accept federal funding to buy surveillance equipment in exchange for the equipment to be used to track down undocumented immigrants. These tools track locations of your cell phones as well as collecting more data. This is against the 4th amendment, which protects the rights of privacy. The Community Control Over Police Surveillance law (CCOPS) has been passed in 21 cities, including New York City and Washington, DC. It was established by 18 national organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This law makes sure that there is transparency and the public is informed about this decision. It also makes sure that there is a legislative vote. Sign this to make sure your rights are protected, and the CCOPS law passes in Henrico County, VA.
