Liz Gunn & her cameraman appear on alleged charges of assault: a year on & Police will release neither the CCTV nor the cameraman’s footage

From Liz Gunn & FreeNZ @ Substack

Note: Liz Gunn & cameraman Jonathan Clark were at the airport to greet folk from Tokelau whom they had assisted in escaping a very long lockdown in their homes because they declined the ‘safe & effective’ (links to that in the article, plus here) … EWNZ


“So to the police it’s time to reveal the footage that shows a cop who heavily assaulted me to such an extent that there were tears and pulls all around my shoulder blade, underneath my arm, right up my back. And that pain that I was in, most mornings I’ve become used to waking between 3 and 5 in the morning in very bad nerve pain.”

Today [Wednesday the 17th of January], Liz Gunn and cameraman Jonathan Clark appeared in the Manukau District Court, facing a number of charges, including an alleged assault, at Auckland Airport early last year.

Note: this case reminds me of the case against the late Graeme Sturgeon who was assaulted by security thugs at a 1080 storage site, with witnesses, then charged with assault. In court he won but was left with a fine of over $20K. Links to this case can be seen here...EWNZ

“Covert” facial recognition street lights coming to a neighborhood near you

A recent Reuters article reveals that ST Engineering has been awarded $5.5 million to install facial recognition street lights in Singapore.

ST’s smart street lights come equipped with sensors, LED screens and covert cameras already installed.

Incredibly, ST claims their spying street lights can bring “healthcare benefits to residents.”

Just like smart city projects everywhere, Singapore claims that spying street lights “are not built by the government but by all of us – citizens, companies, agencies.”  And just like Riverhead, New York who claimed that police surveillance drones will revitalize downtown, Singapore claims their spying street lights will “lead to meaningful and fulfilled lives.”

Facial recognition street lights are designed to be covert

ST Engineering has even gone so far as to rename it’s covert facial recognition program: ST Countenance.

ST Countenance identifies people from a distance, without being intrusive. Covert and scalable, the system has the capability to be integrated with CCTV systems, reducing awareness that it is in operation.
