Not the police.

Many worked on farms in the Central Valley or in factories and construction sites in Southern California before being deported or traveling back voluntarily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, there have been more than 160,000 deportations of Michoacanos by the Obama administration, according to Mexico's federal migration agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ana Maria Salazar, a Mexican-American security analyst, says many of the migrants had developed a degree of trust in police and other civic institutions while living in the U.S., making the conditions back home all the more shocking upon their return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They come back to Michoacan and they find this complete warlike situation,” Salazar says. “People are getting killed, people are being disappeared, women are being raped, children are forced to work for some of these drug organizations.

Mireles lived with his family for a decade in Modesto, where he worked for the local Red Cross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving back to Michoacan, Mireles says the Knights Templar cartel launched a brutal campaign of extortion, rape and murder. Unlike in the United States, he says there was no place to turn for protection because local authorities were often working for the cartel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had nobody to help us,” Mireles says. “Then we started planning in a small group. We spent two years planning how to make something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mireles’s group of informal advisers included Jose Ramirez, an old friend from the Central Valley who lives and works near Fresno. Ramirez helped raise discreet support for the movement among the hundreds of thousands of Michoacanos living in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were afraid to let others know,” he says. “It’s like who do you trust, who do you not trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the men who joined Mireles’ movement are unlikely warriors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pineda was born in Michoacan but left Mexico as a young boy when his family headed north to California. He grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from high school and started a family. He was working off and on in construction when he got caught up in a drug trafficking case. Instead of facing possible prison time, Pineda fled south across the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was in 2010, just as the Knights Templar organization was tightening its grip. With the cartel extorting local businesses, ranches and farms, Pineda says it was difficult to make a living. Five friends disappeared and are among the hundreds of people believed to have been murdered by the drug gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was terrible,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when a group of ranchers and farmers from a cluster of nearby towns approached Pineda and his family, they decided to join.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most important thing was to be able to work, without paying money to somebody,” he says. \"And to stop the killing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/156197200&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reny Pineda was born in Michoacan, but grew up in Los Angeles.

More than 30 municipalities are now under the control of the militias and federal police. And authorities have arrested hundreds of alleged cartel members as well as local politicians and police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Mexican government announced the civilian militias were being absorbed into a new rural police corps. Vigilantes are allowed to keep their weapons in spite of Mexico’s tight gun laws, but only if they join the new force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the conflict winding down, at least for now, some migrants are returning to their families back in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet while violence in Michoacan has dropped to levels not seen in years, tensions persist. There have been violent disputes within the militia movement and allegations that some local commanders are working for rival drug cartels seeking to control heroin and methamphetamine production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very easy for a hero to become a villain,” says Salazar. The big challenge, she says, is whether federal and state authorities can demobilize the vigilante groups, prevent a rebirth of the drug cartel and preserve the tenuous peace, using institutions such as the police and army that contributed to the violence and lawlessness in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/156204615&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Once a mariachi performer in Los Angeles, Vladimiro Carranza Chavez now carries weapons to defend his Mexican hometown from a drug gang that once controlled the region.

Not the police. Just ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, an unprecedented uprising by motley bands of vigilantes in the Mexican state of Michoacan has put the Knights Templar drug organization on the run and forced the federal government to take firm, if belated, action to end years of gruesome violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fueling the movement are thousands of migrants who lived in California and other U.S. states before returning to Mexico. Many worked on farms in the Central Valley or in factories and construction sites in Southern California before being deported or traveling back voluntarily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, there have been more than 160,000 deportations of Michoacanos by the Obama administration, according to Mexico's federal migration agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ana Maria Salazar, a Mexican-American security analyst, says many of the migrants had developed a degree of trust in police and other civic institutions while living in the U.S., making the conditions back home all the more shocking upon their return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They come back to Michoacan and they find this complete warlike situation,” Salazar says. “People are getting killed, people are being disappeared, women are being raped, children are forced to work for some of these drug organizations. It’s surprising these self-defense movements didn’t pop up sooner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/156204400&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Comandanta Lupita” (center) is one of the few women fighting in armed militia groups in Michoacan, long an epicenter in Mexico’s drug war.

Mireles lived with his family for a decade in Modesto, where he worked for the local Red Cross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving back to Michoacan, Mireles says the Knights Templar cartel launched a brutal campaign of extortion, rape and murder. Unlike in the United States, he says there was no place to turn for protection because local authorities were often working for the cartel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had nobody to help us,” Mireles says. “Then we started planning in a small group. We spent two years planning how to make something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mireles’s group of informal advisers included Jose Ramirez, an old friend from the Central Valley who lives and works near Fresno. Ramirez helped raise discreet support for the movement among the hundreds of thousands of Michoacanos living in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were afraid to let others know,” he says. “It’s like who do you trust, who do you not trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the men who joined Mireles’ movement are unlikely warriors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pineda was born in Michoacan but left Mexico as a young boy when his family headed north to California. He grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from high school and started a family. He was working off and on in construction when he got caught up in a drug trafficking case. Instead of facing possible prison time, Pineda fled south across the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was in 2010, just as the Knights Templar organization was tightening its grip. With the cartel extorting local businesses, ranches and farms, Pineda says it was difficult to make a living. Five friends disappeared and are among the hundreds of people believed to have been murdered by the drug gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was terrible,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when a group of ranchers and farmers from a cluster of nearby towns approached Pineda and his family, they decided to join.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most important thing was to be able to work, without paying money to somebody,” he says. \"And to stop the killing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/156197200&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reny Pineda was born in Michoacan, but grew up in Los Angeles.

More than 30 municipalities are now under the control of the militias and federal police. And authorities have arrested hundreds of alleged cartel members as well as local politicians and police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Mexican government announced the civilian militias were being absorbed into a new rural police corps. Vigilantes are allowed to keep their weapons in spite of Mexico’s tight gun laws, but only if they join the new force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the conflict winding down, at least for now, some migrants are returning to their families back in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet while violence in Michoacan has dropped to levels not seen in years, tensions persist. There have been violent disputes within the militia movement and allegations that some local commanders are working for rival drug cartels seeking to control heroin and methamphetamine production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very easy for a hero to become a villain,” says Salazar. The big challenge, she says, is whether federal and state authorities can demobilize the vigilante groups, prevent a rebirth of the drug cartel and preserve the tenuous peace, using institutions such as the police and army that contributed to the violence and lawlessness in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/156204615&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Once a mariachi performer in Los Angeles, Vladimiro Carranza Chavez now carries weapons to defend his Mexican hometown from a drug gang that once controlled the region.

Because the phones contain so much information, police must get a warrant before looking through them, Roberts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"#opinion\">\u003cstrong>Read full opinion: Riley v. California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Modern cellphones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans the privacies of life,” Roberts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message to police about what they should do before rummaging through a cellphone’s contents following an arrest is simple. “Get a warrant,” Roberts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief justice acknowledged that barring searches would affect law enforcement, but said: “Privacy comes at a cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court chose not to extend earlier rulings that allow police to empty a suspect’s pockets and examine whatever they find to ensure officers’ safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration and the state of California, defending the cellphone searches, said cellphones should have no greater protection from a search than anything else police find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the defendants in these cases, backed by civil libertarians, librarians and news media groups, argued that cellphones, especially smartphones, are increasingly powerful computers that can store troves of sensitive personal information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By recognizing that the digital revolution has transformed our expectations of privacy, today’s decision is itself revolutionary and will help to protect the privacy rights of all Americans,” American Civil Liberties Union legal director Steven Shapiro said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the cases decided Wednesday, one defendant carried a smartphone, while the other carried an older flip phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts said the comparison to packages of cigarettes and other items that were at issue in the earlier cases is not apt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A ride on horseback and a flight to the moon both “are ways of getting from point A to point B, but little else justifies lumping them together,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities concerned about the destruction of evidence can take steps to prevent the remote erasure of a phone’s contents or the activation of encryption, Roberts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One exception to the warrant requirement left open by the decision is a case in which officers reasonably fear for their safety or the lives of others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases arose following arrests in San Diego and Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, police found indications of gang membership when they looked through defendant David Leon Riley’s Samsung smartphone. Prosecutors used video and photographs found on the smartphone to persuade a jury to convict Riley of attempted murder and other charges. California courts rejected Riley’s efforts to throw out the evidence and upheld the convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court ordered the California Supreme Court to take a new look at Riley’s case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Boston, a federal appeals court ruled that police must have a warrant before searching arrestees’ cellphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police arrested Brima Wurie on suspicion of selling crack cocaine, checked the call log on his flip phone and used that information to determine where he lived. When they searched Wurie’s home and had a warrant, they found crack, marijuana, a gun and ammunition. The evidence was enough to produce a conviction and a prison term of more than 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appeals court ruled for Wurie, but left in place a drug conviction for selling cocaine near a school that did not depend on the tainted evidence. That conviction also carried a 20-year sentence. The administration appealed the court ruling because it wants to preserve the warrantless searches following arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices upheld that ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here’s the full court opinion in Riley v.

Prosecutors used video and photographs found on the smartphone to persuade a jury to convict Riley of attempted murder and other charges. California courts rejected Riley’s efforts to throw out the evidence and upheld the convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court ordered the California Supreme Court to take a new look at Riley’s case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Boston, a federal appeals court ruled that police must have a warrant before searching arrestees’ cellphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police arrested Brima Wurie on suspicion of selling crack cocaine, checked the call log on his flip phone and used that information to determine where he lived. When they searched Wurie’s home and had a warrant, they found crack, marijuana, a gun and ammunition. The evidence was enough to produce a conviction and a prison term of more than 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appeals court ruled for Wurie, but left in place a drug conviction for selling cocaine near a school that did not depend on the tainted evidence. That conviction also carried a 20-year sentence. The administration appealed the court ruling because it wants to preserve the warrantless searches following arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices upheld that ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here’s the full court opinion in Riley v.

She said one of the paper's sports columnists first suggested considering whether use of the word was appropriate. The issue was taken up by the paper's style council, which then recommended avoiding the term whenever possible, short of obscuring clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\"If the story is about the controversy, obviously we’ll have to print the word so that people will know what we’re talking about,\" Cooper said. \"Absent that, we think it’s very easy to use the word 'Washington' to describe who, for example, won a football game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Cooper said she considered the word offensive. \"I don’t think there are very many people that can debate effectively that it’s not a patently racist term. Not everyone has to be personally offended by a word to make it a racial slur.\" She said the newsroom staff was almost unanimously in support of the decision. \"When the announcement went out to our staff, I think in the first five minutes I received about 30 emails that said it's about time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">When asked whether the paper considered survey results last year that showed 90 percent of Native Americans did not find the terms offensive, Cooper said, \"We don’t make word decisions based on popularity contests. We have decided we believe that it is a racial term.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/30/san-francisco-chronicle-washington-redskins/\" target=\"_blank\">listen to the entire interview\u003c/a> here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/117860731&color=ff5500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"AP\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Full AP report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal trademark board ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins nickname is \"disparaging of Native Americans\" and that the team's trademark protections should be canceled, a decision that applies new financial and political pressure on the team to change its name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2-1 ruling from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board came in a case that has been working its way through legal channels for more than two decades. It doesn't force the team to abandon the name, but it comes at a time of increasing criticism of team owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it's time for a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redskins quickly announced that they will appeal, and the cancellation for trademark protections will be on hold while the matter makes its way through the courts. That process could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the second time the board had issued an opinion on the case. A similar ruling from 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen this story before,\" Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf said. \"And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling involves six uses of the \"Redskins\" name trademarked by the team from 1967 to 1990. If it stands, it would mean the team can continue to use the name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to it. If others printed the name on sweatshirts or other apparel without permission, it would become more cumbersome to go after such groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts overturned the board's previous ruling in part because the plaintiffs waited too long to voice their opposition after the original trademarks were issued. The case was relaunched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans who had recently become adults and therefore would not have able to file a case earlier. The hearing was held in March of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chorus of critics against the use of the name has grown over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a major sector of the United Church of Christ voted to urge its 40,000 members to boycott the Redskins. Half of the U.S. Senate recently wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, one of the letters stating that \"racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.\" D.C.

That process could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the second time the board had issued an opinion on the case. A similar ruling from 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen this story before,\" Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf said. \"And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling involves six uses of the \"Redskins\" name trademarked by the team from 1967 to 1990. If it stands, it would mean the team can continue to use the name, but it would lose a significant portion of its ability to protect the financial interests connected to it. If others printed the name on sweatshirts or other apparel without permission, it would become more cumbersome to go after such groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts overturned the board's previous ruling in part because the plaintiffs waited too long to voice their opposition after the original trademarks were issued. The case was relaunched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans who had recently become adults and therefore would not have able to file a case earlier. The hearing was held in March of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chorus of critics against the use of the name has grown over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a major sector of the United Church of Christ voted to urge its 40,000 members to boycott the Redskins. Half of the U.S. Senate recently wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, one of the letters stating that \"racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.\" D.C.

But with few controls on how the license-plate data are used or handled, the devices have emerged as a major concern for privacy advocates, who say the technology can be used to track people whether or not they’re suspected of any wrongdoing. Now, the types of data collected and analyzed with the help of license-plate readers are expanding into other realms of personal information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents obtained by The Center for Investigative Reporting show that a leading maker of license-plate readers wants to merge the vehicle identification technology with other sources of identifying information, alarming privacy advocates. Vigilant Solutions is pushing a system that eventually could help fuse public records, license plates and facial recognition databases for police in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Livermore company released its own facial recognition software last year for use in stationary and mobile devices. The technology uses algorithms to determine whether a person’s face matches that of somebody already in a law enforcement database. Like license-plate readers, facial recognition technology has been criticized for incorrectly identifying people.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘When you’re combining data from multiple sources, it becomes incredibly revealing.’\u003ccite>— Jennifer Lynch,\u003cbr>\nElectronic Frontier Foundation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Vigilant also is the market leader in license-plate data collection. The company runs the Law Enforcement Archive and Reporting Network database, which stores more than 2.5 billion records and adds roughly 70 million new license-plate scans monthly. The company offers law enforcement free access to its license-plate data through another database, the National Vehicle Location Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vigilant sells license-plate readers to over a dozen California agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and the Sacramento Police and County Sheriff’s departments. For its business with law enforcement in the city of Alameda, Anaheim, Marin County, San Rafael and Sacramento, Vigilant won the contracts without going through a competitive bidding process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Vigilant PowerPoint presentation about its products, obtained by CIR, contains a section on the “near future” for the company. That includes a fusion of public records, license-plate data and facial recognition, according to the slide. Another technology, dubbed MOAB, would help law enforcement find vehicles using a “probabilistic assessment” of a vehicle’s location based on historical data and public records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another slide prepared for Texas law enforcement shows how a combined data program could work. It would pull mug shots from the local Department of Motor Vehicles database and notify law enforcement with an alert if “a vehicle is associated with someone with a known criminal history.” The slide also describes “facial images embedded into” the license-plate record. Another describes how Vigilant’s FaceSearch application works on mobile devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Widdowson, a Vigilant spokeswoman, said the slides reviewed by CIR were of a prototype program that did not actually include facial recognition technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for specific references to merging license-plate data with facial recognition and public records, Widdowson said the slide “is merely showing that law enforcement can combine data from public records with LPR (license-plate reader) data to reduce their search area for a suspect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates said combining historical plate-reader data with public records and facial recognition technology runs contrary to law enforcement’s argument that license plates are not considered personally-identifying information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles Police Department for information about their collection and use of license-plate data, said Vigilant’s plans could represent a sea change in the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that Vigilant already offers analytical software that traces the movements of a vehicle through the public and private plate-reader data it retains, Lynch said the company’s plans could pose a threat to individual privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>License-plate readers could move into uncharted territory by combining into one search tool the location data from license-plate readers with public records such as court files and property records — as well as photographs of individuals from criminal or DMV databases. That tool, in turn, could be used with facial recognition software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A plate reader could tag a passing car and the names of people associated with the vehicle and keep a log of where that person traveled. That data potentially could be stored for months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re combining data from multiple sources, it becomes incredibly revealing,” Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Center for Investigative Reporting, an award-winning nonprofit news organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Now, the types of data collected and analyzed with the help of license-plate readers are expanding into other realms of personal information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents obtained by The Center for Investigative Reporting show that a leading maker of license-plate readers wants to merge the vehicle identification technology with other sources of identifying information, alarming privacy advocates. Vigilant Solutions is pushing a system that eventually could help fuse public records, license plates and facial recognition databases for police in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Livermore company released its own facial recognition software last year for use in stationary and mobile devices. The technology uses algorithms to determine whether a person’s face matches that of somebody already in a law enforcement database. Like license-plate readers, facial recognition technology has been criticized for incorrectly identifying people.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘When you’re combining data from multiple sources, it becomes incredibly revealing.’\u003ccite>— Jennifer Lynch,\u003cbr>\nElectronic Frontier Foundation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Vigilant also is the market leader in license-plate data collection. The company runs the Law Enforcement Archive and Reporting Network database, which stores more than 2.5 billion records and adds roughly 70 million new license-plate scans monthly. The company offers law enforcement free access to its license-plate data through another database, the National Vehicle Location Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For its business with law enforcement in the city of Alameda, Anaheim, Marin County, San Rafael and Sacramento, Vigilant won the contracts without going through a competitive bidding process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Vigilant PowerPoint presentation about its products, obtained by CIR, contains a section on the “near future” for the company. That includes a fusion of public records, license-plate data and facial recognition, according to the slide. Another technology, dubbed MOAB, would help law enforcement find vehicles using a “probabilistic assessment” of a vehicle’s location based on historical data and public records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another slide prepared for Texas law enforcement shows how a combined data program could work. It would pull mug shots from the local Department of Motor Vehicles database and notify law enforcement with an alert if “a vehicle is associated with someone with a known criminal history.” The slide also describes “facial images embedded into” the license-plate record. Another describes how Vigilant’s FaceSearch application works on mobile devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Widdowson, a Vigilant spokeswoman, said the slides reviewed by CIR were of a prototype program that did not actually include facial recognition technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for specific references to merging license-plate data with facial recognition and public records, Widdowson said the slide “is merely showing that law enforcement can combine data from public records with LPR (license-plate reader) data to reduce their search area for a suspect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates said combining historical plate-reader data with public records and facial recognition technology runs contrary to law enforcement’s argument that license plates are not considered personally-identifying information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles Police Department for information about their collection and use of license-plate data, said Vigilant’s plans could represent a sea change in the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that Vigilant already offers analytical software that traces the movements of a vehicle through the public and private plate-reader data it retains, Lynch said the company’s plans could pose a threat to individual privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>License-plate readers could move into uncharted territory by combining into one search tool the location data from license-plate readers with public records such as court files and property records — as well as photographs of individuals from criminal or DMV databases. That tool, in turn, could be used with facial recognition software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A plate reader could tag a passing car and the names of people associated with the vehicle and keep a log of where that person traveled. That data potentially could be stored for months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re combining data from multiple sources, it becomes incredibly revealing,” Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Center for Investigative Reporting, an award-winning nonprofit news organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

On Friday, lawyers questioned Mehserle about his claim that he meant to draw a Taser, not his semi-automatic pistol, while he and other officers tried to subdue grant on the platform at the Fruitvale station in East Oakland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mehserle's attorney, Michael Rains, argued that BART is culpable in the shooting because its Taser training was inadequate. But Mehserle testified that he had no problems with the training and had practiced drawing his Taser, positioned on his left side, with his right hand. When asked how he came to draw his service weapon instead of the stun gun, he said, \"I'm not sure how it happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as he did in his 2010 murder trial, Mehserle wept when he recounted details of the shooting. He broke into tears Friday as he recalled seeing a bullet hole in Grant's back and realizing he had shot the suspect. Mehserle was acquitted of the murder charges in the earlier trial, held in Los Angeles, but convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

And now that he was a human being with a voice, was he the type who could murder Grant?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, the 28-year-old was calm, comfortable and careful, and he came across as the young and inexperienced officer that he is - or was. He often paused after questions, formulating his answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He cried almost every time he talked about the first moments after he shot Grant - a 22-year-old Hayward resident - in the back. Every time he did, a protest of faint muttering would emerge from Grant's relatives and supporters in the gallery. They, too, were a factor in his testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Robert Perry was wary of letting emotion or stagecraft overwhelm Mehserle's explanation for killing Grant - that he thought he had his Taser in his hand when he shot him while trying to handcuff him on Jan. 1, 2009, that \"the thought of my gun never came into the equation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry told defense attorney Michael Rains to speed things up as he asked Mehserle for childhood memories, and he later cut him off - \"That's too much, Mr. Rains\" - when he tried to drill deeper into his client's grief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutor David Stein at one point started to crank up an attack, but Perry admonished him: \"Lower your voice.\" He later stopped Stein from asking Mehserle if he ever felt compelled to apologize to Grant's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry was most stern with the gallery, where a Grant supporter was arrested after telling Mehserle to \"save those f-ing tears.\" The judge bellowed: \"I'll clear the courtroom.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Finally: Here's the lawsuit, filed in 2009:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_85167\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/229232428/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

When Chamberlain made his first court appearance later this morning, Cousins criticized federal prosecutor Philip Kearney for arguing that the complaint documents should remain sealed at the same time details were being leaked to the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the complaint, FBI Special Agent Michael Eldridge met with Chamberlain in a coffee shop on May 31, where Chamberlain admitted “that he was aware of the Tor network, and that he sometimes played poker on ‘black market’ websites.” Chamberlain was then allowed to leave the coffee shop and returned to his apartment, but agents following him called off the pursuit when he drove recklessly through stoplights and at a high speed. Acting on a search warrant, agents then entered Chamberlain’s apartment. The complaint outlines what was found there, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– a screw-top glass jar containing batteries and a powdery green substance\u003cbr>\n– a model rocket motor lodged within the green powdery substance\u003cbr>\n– an “electric match,” a common igniter for improvised explosive devices (IEDs)\u003cbr>\n– an assortment of ball bearings and screws believed to be intended projectiles\u003cbr>\n– a wire extending from the glass jar attached to the metal lid of the jar\u003cbr>\n– a circuit board, configured as a remote-controlled receiver\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the complaint, all the components necessary to comprise an IED were found in his apartment and it was believed that a destructive device was designed to “maim or kill a human being or human beings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/pages/1058\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full complaint against Chamberlain online\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 7:20 a.m. Tuesday June 3:\u003c/strong> The FBI and San Francisco police will hold a joint press conference at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the arrest of Ryan Chamberlain.

When there is a sighting, we will deploy agents and police officers to that area. We’re running down every lead.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post on June 2: \u003c/strong>The FBI is withholding comment on a message purportedly posted by a San Francisco political consultant and PR professional who is a fugitive in an explosives investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, federal agents raided the San Francisco apartment of Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II, where they reportedly found illegal explosives. The FBI says Chamberlain fled and was last seen driving somewhere south of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As noted \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/S-F-man-wanted-by-FBI-posts-apparent-suicide-note-5522548.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> and elsewhere, Chamberlain was active as a consultant to several political campaigns in the city between 2002 and 2009, including Gavin Newsom’s first campaign for mayor in 2003. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2014/06/ryan_chamberlain_longtime_san.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SF Weekly’s Joe Eskinazi notes that Chamberlain was accused\u003c/a> of being behind at least one campaign low blow aimed at former Supervisor Chris Daly. Chamberlain’s friends and acquaintances have taken to social media to express shock at the FBI’s allegations against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early Monday, a long missive purportedly posted to an iCloud account by Chamberlain speaks at length of his personal and professional disappointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve isolated two things I need,” the letter says. “A person and a purpose.” It continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All I’ve ever wanted was someone to be madly in love with, to go through life with in that great, dedicated relationship. Then, all I needed was a great reason to get up everyday. Some great work to do. That’s pretty easy. Everyone wants that. Lots of people get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it always eluded me. I’d give my all to a girl and she’d take it and run. I’d bust my ass at a job, but the company would fail, the economy would drop out, the campaign would lose … or it would win and leave me behind. As I hustled year in and year out, fought through another failed relationship with someone who cheated and/or left, and scrambled for another half-ass job that didn’t work out, my mental state got more stressed and panicked. I don’t know if my depression caused the outcome, or if the outcome built on the depression, but the result is the same.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The message also says that the writer was close to running out of money and only recently had a job prospect after more than a year of searching. As a result, the letter says, “I got dark. I got real dark. I explored myriad ways I could put an end to what I was going through. I binge-watched dark TV, sometimes didn’t get off the couch for days, and scoured the Internet absorbing fuel for morbid fantasies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in what appears to be a direct allusion to the Saturday FBI raid of Chamberlain’s apartment at Polk and Jackson streets, the note says, “Some of that activity seemed to attract the attention of some visitors today … who made it rather evident that this is the end of the line for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Lee, the FBI’s spokesman in San Francisco, said Monday the FBI has no comment on the purported Chamberlain message posted Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said agents joined by San Francisco police and fire personnel executed a search warrant at Chamberlain’s apartment, which he said officials believed has “a criminal nexus to a federal crime.” Lee said Chamberlain is alleged to possess explosive materials. The bureau’s alert for Chamberlain describes him as armed and dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A follow-up message posted on Chamberlain’s Twitter account, @poliholic, denied the FBI’s account:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\u003cp>A panicked update to my letter that should have posted by now.

Chamberlain’s friends and acquaintances have taken to social media to express shock at the FBI’s allegations against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early Monday, a long missive purportedly posted to an iCloud account by Chamberlain speaks at length of his personal and professional disappointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve isolated two things I need,” the letter says. “A person and a purpose.” It continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All I’ve ever wanted was someone to be madly in love with, to go through life with in that great, dedicated relationship. Then, all I needed was a great reason to get up everyday. Some great work to do. That’s pretty easy. Everyone wants that. Lots of people get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it always eluded me. I’d give my all to a girl and she’d take it and run. I’d bust my ass at a job, but the company would fail, the economy would drop out, the campaign would lose … or it would win and leave me behind. As I hustled year in and year out, fought through another failed relationship with someone who cheated and/or left, and scrambled for another half-ass job that didn’t work out, my mental state got more stressed and panicked. I don’t know if my depression caused the outcome, or if the outcome built on the depression, but the result is the same.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The message also says that the writer was close to running out of money and only recently had a job prospect after more than a year of searching. As a result, the letter says, “I got dark. I got real dark. I explored myriad ways I could put an end to what I was going through. I binge-watched dark TV, sometimes didn’t get off the couch for days, and scoured the Internet absorbing fuel for morbid fantasies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in what appears to be a direct allusion to the Saturday FBI raid of Chamberlain’s apartment at Polk and Jackson streets, the note says, “Some of that activity seemed to attract the attention of some visitors today … who made it rather evident that this is the end of the line for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Lee, the FBI’s spokesman in San Francisco, said Monday the FBI has no comment on the purported Chamberlain message posted Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said agents joined by San Francisco police and fire personnel executed a search warrant at Chamberlain’s apartment, which he said officials believed has “a criminal nexus to a federal crime.” Lee said Chamberlain is alleged to possess explosive materials. The bureau’s alert for Chamberlain describes him as armed and dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
