Civic Engagement Justice Initiatives


You may understand how digital surveillance works but what about your rights? Police want your phone. Are they allowed to search it? What if they are looking for something specific? Join us for the second part of our Digital Surveillance Resources Series, a know your rights workshop and a crash course on how to protect yourself, prepare yourself, and arm yourself (legally speaking) for this current surveillance state. 

The workshop will be led by Serita Sargent, a Ph.D. student in Library and Information Science at Rutgers University. Their research surrounds data/tech ethics, including AI and algorithmic bias, focusing on AI and everyday surveillance technologies. 

The program will be streamed on BPL's YouTube Channel and will include a Q&A. You will be able to submit questions anonymously.
