Is LexisNexis’s predictive policing turning innocent Americans into criminals?

Connor Deleire made the mistake of parking his car on a New Hampshire street, police designated as a “PREDICTIVE HOTSPOT”

Predictive HotSpot mapping began in 2012, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) or really DHS calls it “Mapping and Analysis for Public Safety.” Click here, here & here  to see how the NIJ is really DHS.  

NH police officer Derek Cataldo saw a 2000 Honda Accord parked at 5:35 p.m. on Merrimack Street, a “predictive hot spot.” Deleire was sitting in the driver’s seat. Cataldo drove by the car and then circled the block to get a better look and determine if Deleire was there for legitimate purposes, officer Cataldo approached the car and began talking with Deleire, who police said was physically shaking.

Everyone should be asking, why are police approaching people for no good reason? But wait, it gets worse…

The cops ultimately pepper sprayed, Tasered and bashed his head on the ground because he was NERVOUS!

According to the Union Leader article:

He [Deleire] gave the officer his identification and “attempted to provide a legitimate reason for being in the area,” O’Keefe wrote. Cataldo felt he was there for no legitimate purposes and asked him to step out of the car.

Welcome to the Great American Police state, where anyone caught straying into a police designated “HOT SPOT” means you’ll be branded a possible criminal!

Police said, Deleire was upset and didn’t agree to being searched and did not AGREE to letting his car be searched.

“They bashed his head against the cruiser, they bashed his head against the ground. They dragged him around,” Connor’s father John DeLeire said. His father said Connor suffered a concussion as a result of the police beating.

All of this because DHS/police are using predictive policing to turn EVERYONE into potential criminals!

Interestingly the NIJ claims not every community has a “HOT SPOT” and they (police) should use OTHER forms of geographic analysis

What you’re not being told is a private metadata collection company (LexisNexis) is providing police with their data.

BAIR Analytics invented the money making crime prediction software being used by police, BAIR was recently purchased by LexisNexis.

“The acquisition of BAIR Analytics builds on LexisNexis’ commitment to public safety, providing us the ability to combine BAIR Analytic’s analytical capabilities with our public records and linking technology to add context to crime patterns and enhance our ability to identify and locate persons of interest…”

“BAIR Analytic’s ability to help agencies identify, analyze and resolve problems created by criminal offenders will be an exceptional complement to LexisNexis, its proven solutions and vast public records database to offer a more complete view of individuals to accelerate the investigation process.”

BAIR analytics boasts how ANY first responder in the country can use it to spy on ANYONE and goes on to brag how jurisdictional boundaries between police agencies no longer exist.

“BAIR Analytics, a Colorado-based law enforcement, military and emergency response analytics company, has met the needs of hundreds of agencies across the United States and Canada with Automated Tactical Analysis of Crime Regional Analysis and Information Data Sharing (ATACRAIDS).  The web-based information and intelligence sharing and analysis program is optimized for all levels of an agency, from communications/dispatch to analysts to officers to fire and emergency medical responders.  Separate applications for law enforcement and other first responders maintain the necessary confidentiality of law enforcement data.”

“… with a regional system, data from surrounding jurisdictions can be included in the analysis as well.  No longer can law enforcement afford to stop the analysis at the jurisdictional borders.”

Reed Elsevier, Inc. or LexisNexis whichever name you’d like to call them works closely with DHS…

“Reed Elsevier helps professionals verify identity, prevent fraud, comply with legislation, facilitate and secure commerce, conduct background screening and support law enforcement and homeland security initiatives.

LexusNexis admits ‘predictive policing’ is about helping communities balance budgets…

“The acquisition will be unique in the industry and help public safety officers make better decisions to close cases faster and improve community safety. In an era of constrained budgets…”

In other words BAIR’s predictive policing is all about MONEY! American’s civil rights are being DESTROYED while Bair Analytics or LexisNexis laughs all the way to the bank!

LexisNexis recently acquired PoliceReports.US a website that profits off of providing police reports to the public. LexisNexis also provides police with a FREE vehicle crash data service called Ecrash.

“By integrating PoliceReports.US into LexisNexis, we are able to further expand value to police agencies delivered through our comprehensive electronic crash data management system and extend our offering through digitization and electronic collection options for public safety,” said Bill Madison, CEO, insurance, LexisNexis.

Below are some more examples of LexisNexis’s close relationship with DHS:

Eric Nelson, Vice President of Bair Analytics works closely with DHS.

Sean Bair works for Bair Analytics is an Arizona cop and has close ties to DHS!

John Kropf, worked for Reed Elsevier and DHS.

LexisNexis has an entire section of their website devoted to DHS.

LexisNexis Security And Privacy Pdf. boasts how they protect DHS.

Carol DiBattiste worked for Reed Elsevier and was the Deputy Administrator of the TSA orDHS.

This is yet another example of a private company collaborating with police and making huge profits.
