Yes, they report the minorities.
...of course it's NYC. For as liberal NY is in general, the police are 1984 levels of nuts.
Even if you're not doing crime, they don't care. They will fly a drone over your backyard to make sure.
Please stop reifying things from cautionary tales.
Ooooh I really hope they scam them out of their money. This would be a perfect opportunity to hook the NYPD on crypto too. /s
This can only end in more institutionalized racism and other forms of oppression by the NYPD.
The problem is that the scam will hurt a lot of innocent people along the way. They won't produce any actually useful data, but they will false flag a whole bunch of accounts, most likely on the basis of racial profiling or supporting unions. Y'know, the usual stuff.
I'll say this once and slowly... FUCK. THE. POLICE.
