CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — West Virginia's affiliate of the
ACLU is participating in a project examining local police use of
military technology and tactics.
The American Civil Liberties
Union of West Virginia Foundation and 23 other ACLU affiliates across
the country have filed public records requests with law enforcement and
military agencies.
In West Virginia, the organization has asked
the Charleston and Huntington police departments for information about
SWAT teams and cutting edge weapons and technologies, including GPS
tracking and unmanned aerial drones. The organization also has asked the
West Virginia National Guard for information about cooperative
agreements with police departments and incidents of National Guard
contact with civilians.
Brenda Green of the West Virginia ACLU
says residents deserve to know how much local police are using military
weapons and tactics for everyday policing.
