This week on Surveillance And The City, we talk about Mayor Bill de Blasio’s controversial COVID-19 checkpoints, the NYPD’s arrest of activist Nikki Stone, and the scary world of geofence warrants which give cops a blank check to track nearly anyone at any time.
To round things out we look back at the Graphic Novel turned generation defining movie, V for Vendetta, and talk about how eerily similar our dystopia is.
