“It’s got a similar interface to TikTok or Instagram, where you’re seeing what’s going on generally in chronological order.” ProPublica’s videos were cited by the DOJ in at least 24 cases. ProPublica filtered the videos by geolocation and other metadata, but soon realized that not all the data was accurate. It shows a distinctive large red “Make America Great Again” hat on the car’s dashboard, just like one that Vogel was wearing when he was filmed on a news broadcast outside the Capitol later that day, and in a Facebook selfie. That data included the latitude and longitude of each device to seven decimal places, and how long it was inside the Capitol. ProPublica ended up with 2,500 videos that it could definitively place in the Senate complex on 6 January. Vogel’s case goes to trial in February 2023, when he will face charges of violently entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct. Facial recognition was reportedly used to identify protestors at a Black Lives Matter event in New York City in 2020 and at similar protests across the United States. Computers are generally much better at recognizing letters and numbers than faces; automatic license plate reader (ALPR) technology was cited in 20 of the DOJ cases. history, offering a snapshot of the rapidly evolving nature of law enforcement and how heavily it now relies on data provided, wittingly or not, by suspects themselves. The FBI assigned its FACE Services Unit to compare suspects’ faces with images in state and federal face-recognition systems. Connecting that Gmail account to a phone number and then to its owner, Paul Lovley of Halethorpe, Md., was just a matter of a few keystrokes on law-enforcement databases. The riot was an unprecedented attack on American democracy, with thousands of citizens, most of them previously unknown to federal investigators, violently storming the seat of government.

On the biggest stage in the world, that failed on January 6. OLMOS: I do feel like there's a clear line between the bloody scenes I saw on the streets for years with far-right extremist groups and what we saw on January 6. OLMOS: The January 6 report describes how the Oath Keepers, a far-right group that moved in that stack formation on the Capitol steps, used the racial justice protests in the summer of 2020 as a means to organize. Nearly a thousand people have been charged in the wake of January 6. As the January 6 report makes clear, the insurrection at the Capitol didn't come out of nowhere. OLMOS: The week before January 6, I remember being at the Oregon State Capitol watching a crowd of Proud Boys and others turn against the police. OLMOS: The report states that, in the days leading up to January 6, numerous aides tried to get Trump to call off the rally, afraid of the kinds of people that were planning on showing up. In this video recorded back in August 2020, a Proud Boy leads a crowd of hundreds into a street brawl against racial justice demonstrators in full view of the police on the steps of the justice center in downtown Portland, Ore. The institutions of the republic didn't bend to his will, and so Trump went outside of them, calling on people outside the government who would carry out his will. The January 6 House Select Committee spent 18 months looking at the events and actors that helped fuel the violence that day, and that includes a number of extremist groups. Ultimately, that led to the insurrection at the Capitol. Sergio, the January 6 report focuses on the efforts of former President Trump to overturn the 2020 election.
