Through FOIA requests, police departments have accidentally reported mission critical information, such as pictures of undercover police. Chris then explains that this type of information can be crowdsourced to provide value-added intelligence information.
Chris also claims that under Trump, law enforcement agencies are abandoning a softer, community policing approach, and engaging in more heavy-handed tactics. He believes that police departments are working more with the FBI’s joint terrorism task force, which is informed by fusion centers, which are federal, which are under the Trump administration.
Lastly, Chris encourages activists to file a FOIA request about their arrests. “Shake the tree, and see what falls out. You never know.” (SOURCE: http://www.soleone.org/solecast/2017/4/10/solecast-39-w-chris-of-unicorn-riot-on-counter-counter-insurgency-how-to-foia)
