BlueLeaks contains SO MUCH evidence of spying on First Amendment protected activities, systemic bias, etc. This was all from NCRIC, but there's also another 150 police/fusion center websites included the hack. Stay tuned for much more reporting — PolitiTweet.org

There were also two instances of police (from @RedwoodCityPD and @MoragaPolice) requesting help protecting racist white female teenagers against doxing/online harassment they faced after making racist statements and using anti-Black racial slurs https://t.co/E3cwUq0YAa — PolitiTweet.org

The VAST MAJORITY of SARs related to civil unrest were about BLM protests or suspected antifa activity. But there were a few SARs about fascists too. Like this one, where someone called a gov employee and described his plans to shoot and kill protesters https://t.co/cDmx2BUyje — PolitiTweet.org

A group of people wearing black clothes and masks (during a pandemic) were at a gas station in Napa asking about renting vans to drop off in SF. Someone saw them, thought they "looked like a ‘ANTIF[A] or Black Bloc’ group" and it ended up as a SAR — PolitiTweet.org

Cops from these agencies posted SARs and support requests about BLM protests: Oakland PD SFPD San Benito Co Sheriff Novato PD Walnut Creek PD Sunnyvale Dept of Public Safety Antioch PD Fremont PD Napa POD Healdsburg PD Palo Alto PD Golden Gate Bridge Patrol Contra Costa College — PolitiTweet.org

A San Jose State University cop posted a SAR under the category "Radicalization/Extremism" saying, "Possible meeting spot for protest activity at SJSU. [...] Has been seen on Twitter under the name @simonvertugo." — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

Local cops across northern California logged into NCRIC and submitted "Suspicious Activity Reports" about local BLM protests, and also requested support monitoring social media related to these protests. For example take this tweet https://t.co/iRU1ldLSrB — PolitiTweet.org

NCRIC was so busy spying on protesters that it had to postpone its class about spying on cell phones https://t.co/COPbhgEazd — PolitiTweet.org

Oh yeah, and one of the documents tries to lay blame for the massive nationwide outrage against police killings of Black people on "foreign influence campaigns" https://t.co/C5aZkM6N2i — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

There's so much more like this too. NCRIC steadily forwarded docs from feds to local cops saying things like this. If cops believe their lives are in danger, this might help explain why their response to peaceful protests have been so brutal and violent https://t.co/PBcrBv9v4k — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

An LA-based FBI analyst saw it and wrote this report called "Civil Unrest in Response to Death of George Floyd Threatens Law Enforcement Supporters’ Safety". NCRIC then forwarded this document to its list of 14k cops https://t.co/OkTwNwq4Ax — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

NCRIC also regularly forwards fear-mongering memos from FBI, DHS, and other feds, containing cherrypicked anecdotes and tweets that make protesters seem scary and dangerous, to these 14k local cops across northern California. Like, consider this tweet https://t.co/ho7W11Rl6L — PolitiTweet.org

"Really what we have here is over-broad collection and dissemination of peoples’ protected First Amendment activity, and it’s untethered to any basis in the law," an @ACLU_NorCal lawyers says. The docs also claim to be exempt from public records request, which isn't true https://t.co/cnRvGUtKNM — PolitiTweet.org

NCRIC's director Mike Sena says that NCRIC no longer sends these twice-daily emails. He says they started after a right-wing extremist killed a guard at Oakland's federal building, and stopped "I believe it was after the suspects were taken into custody" https://t.co/8ccBCvTR5p — PolitiTweet.org

This PDF listed 46 protests scheduled for June 6 in San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Oakland, other cities, and 36 other events for following days. The vast majority of events were #BlackLivesMatter protests https://t.co/8tGT38woeL — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

It turns out, starting May 31 NCRIC's terrorism liaison program began emailing PDFs listing upcoming protests to over 14,400 people, mostly local cops across northern California, emailing this twice a day at 10am and again at 6pm https://t.co/QZ6rnkJHu5 — PolitiTweet.org

I poured through two weeks of docs from the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (police intelligence agency), between when George Floyd was killed while handcuffed face-down in the street, to when the BlueLeaks hacktivist exfiltrated the data https://t.co/p59jcgHlYD — PolitiTweet.org

@pillarist He's been charged with espionage but not convicted, because he hasn't gotten arrested. He said he'd return home for a trial if it could be fair, but the espionage act doesn't allow defendants to offer a defense of their actions — PolitiTweet.org

DHS is calling DDoSecrets a "criminal hacker group" that "conducted a hack-and-leak operation targeting federal, state, and local law enforcement databases". It's a blatant lie, of course. DDoSecrets published BlueLeaks documents, did not hack anything https://t.co/rcEy9CPxvw — PolitiTweet.org
