An open records request from The Brennan Center For Justice reportedly reveals widespread surveillance by Atlanta Police particularly focused on opponents of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, or what critics call “Cop City.”
Spencer Reynolds, senior counsel in the Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty and National Security Program, was a guest on Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
He talked with show host Rose Scott about what was found in the many pages of documents, his concerns over this level of monitoring by Atlanta Police and what guardrails should be placed on the agency’s surveillance efforts.
