"The Fusus-Talitrix integration would combine GPS-enabled digital shackles featuring biometric monitoring capabilities with the growing canopy of Fusus-linked video cameras in Atlanta. By integrating Talitrix equipment with AI-powered real-time video surveillance that can trigger multiple public and privately owned “pan-tilt-zoom” (PTZ) cameras at a person’s precise location, APF planned to put up to 900 people under constant video, audio, biometric, and GPS surveillance as a condition of pre-trial release.

“This [proposal] turns the City of Atlanta into an open-air prison for everyone on electronic monitoring,” said Cooper Quinton, security researcher and senior staff technologist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Threat Lab.

Several technology and legal experts who reviewed the integration proposal concluded it would be the most sweeping state-run electronic surveillance program in the United States and raised serious legal and ethical concerns."
