“I think it was a very strategic ploy to try to harm me, intimidate me and send a message not only to me, but to my community.” - Derrick Ingram
In our first episode, Derrick “D-Wreck” Ingram leads us through his experience of being trapped in his apartment, surrounded by the New York Police Department. In the summer of 2020, he shared a photo from a Black Lives Matter protest and, shortly afterwards, it seemed the police ran it through facial recognition software to track him down. If police can track down protesters like Derrick, will we think twice about speaking out? We explore how state surveillance of protesters threatens fundamental human rights and our very ability to protest for social change. We delve into how this plays out in Canada, speaking to journalist Bryan Carney, lawyer and researcher Yolanda Song, and researcher Jon Penney.
