In recent weeks, May First Movement Technology (MFMT) member organization, Stop LAPD Spying Coalition launched a public-records sourced educational resource, the Watch the Watchers website. This website is a searchable index of over 9,300 sworn Los Angeles police officers, displaying their departmental photos, LAPD serial numbers, and other official information about each officer.

The website is not only a practical tool for researching abusive police officers but also a public education resource. What happens when we flip the surveillance power dynamic?

May First worked together with Stop LAPD Spying to defend the right for movement activists who depend on the Internet to fight police abuse or any issue critical of capitalism or the corporate classes. Details can be found here: https://mayfirst.coop/en/post/2023/watch-the-watchers/
