Filming ICE with Mr. Checkpoint

Host John Carlos Frey sits down with Sennett Devermont — known online as Mr. Checkpoint — the Southern California activist who built a nationwide alert network for DUI checkpoints, ICE operations, and police activity. Sennett traces his journey from a 2011 San Diego State student warning classmates about unconstitutional, unpublicized checkpoints to becoming one of the most recognizable "film the police" advocates in the country.  The two also confront the sharper edges of the moment: the lack of accountability inside police departments, the retaliation faced by officers who report misconduct, and how ICE operates with even less transparency and oversight than local law enforcement. Sennett connects the dots to the billions of dollars flowing into policing and surveillance infrastructure, the criminalization of witnesses and citizen journalists, and why he now sees jury duty and law school — he just started his second year — as his next front line for reform.  It's a candid, sometimes emotional conversation about fear, privilege, and what it actually costs to keep a camera rolling — plus concrete advice for anyone who wants to document an ICE or police encounter but doesn't know where to start.  https://aftp.org/  @afp_foundation  https://mrcheckpoint.com/en/  @Mrcheckpoint   https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
