Open ghost opened 7 years ago

Using maps from littlesis.org or similar research information to display private interests. At the very least, provide as many resources as we can so people can do their own research about who they are actually working for as part of law enforcement.

Add monetary map having to do with the money made by the state and private companies off of the daily required activities of LEOs:

Ticket/arrest quotas Ticket/bail/court cost amounts Ultimate beneficiaries of that money Private jail holders

The "monetary map" has some precedent with other projects, such as @nabilhassein's nyc-summons-precinct-visualization.

Also, @cxtxlyst, if you're curious about talking about this more and coordinating with other folks, consider joining us in our contributor's chat room: https://gitter.im/betterangels/leoexit The more active room is our Buoy room, since that project is more active right now, but you can say hi in both or either.
