PAB asks for feedback on new report
The Police Accountability Board is holding a meeting to ask for feedback on its report about how the Rochester Police Department collects and stores the public’s data.
The report looks at how RPD uses drones, blue light cameras, body-worn cameras, and other surveillance technology. The PAB says that, while this technology can promote public safety, it also collects personal information from people not accused of any wrongdoing.
PAB leaders, along with other organizations, will speak on the report’s findings on Thursday at the Thomas P. Ryan R-Center. It starts at 6 p.m.
According to the report, Rochester residents are three times more likely to be surveilled by blue light cameras in predominantly Black or Hispanic neighborhoods than in predominantly white neighborhoods. The report also says that camera placement doesn’t correlate with crime rate.
The PAB claims that RPD hasn’t completed a privacy impact assessment for body-worn cameras since they were implemented in 2017. RPD says it will need time to review the report before giving News10NBC a comment on it. You can see the full report here.
