Mapping the FBI - Seeking Records of FBI Discrimination
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is collecting racial and ethnic information and “mapping” American communities around the country based on crude stereotypes about which groups commit different types of crimes. Nationwide, the FBI is gathering reports on innocent Americans’ so-called “suspicious activity” and sharing it with unknown numbers of federal, state and local government agencies.
In response, the ACLU’s “Mapping the FBI” initiative seeks to expose misconduct, abuse of authority, and unconstitutional profiling and other violations of Americans’ rights and liberties across the country.
