Police did not tell anyone about the access. After RNZ made inquiries, police played it down, saying it was not worth telling anyone outside the force. But they also admitted that they do not know what staff did on the site. The site - called PimEyes - scans the internet to assemble photos matches of people. It can scan an uploaded picture against hundreds of millions of images from public sources in less than a second, even if your face is just in background shots, or if the uploaded photo is very old.

Irish Mirror (Republic of Ireland) 19/9/2024 News Police sergeants and disaster management during Australia’s Black Summer bushfire crisis The police sergeant, or equivalent supervisor, is the glue that binds police units together, assigns workloads, and distributes organisational power from ‘above’ to ensure that those in the field play fairly and by the rules. Yet very little empirical research has been undertaken to examine the work of sergeants or consider how these roles impact the ability of police and their partners to manage critical incidents, including complex disasters. Drawing on a case study of disaster policing during Australia’s Black Summer bushfires, this paper examines how police sergeants with two distinct emergency management roles leveraged their authority, relationships, and knowledge to support the effective management of this incident. Using composite accounts, it illustrates how both sergeants drew upon and adapted traditional understandings of their role to negotiate the perceived deficiencies of command-and-control and networked features of complex disaster management systems. The case studies illustrate how the officers’ positionalities (organisationally, geographically, and systemically) enhanced their sensemaking abilities during the crisis, and they utilised their recognised authority, relationships, and soft skills to inform, nudge, and influence a wide range of stakeholders. The paper reveals that police sergeants may be uniquely positioned to assist with the coordination of increasingly complex disaster management assemblages at a time when the neoliberal state’s ability to even ‘steer’ these effectively is increasingly called into question.
