Professor Joh Talks to Wired About Mamdani and NYPD Surveillance Practices

Professor Elizabeth Joh spoke to Wired for a Nov. 5 story headlined “Zohran Mamdani Just Inherited the NYPD Surveillance State.”

The mayor-elect’s progressive ideals conflict with the city’s police surveillance policies, Joh said. She noted that immigration enforcement will “almost certainly be a flashpoint,” since “the use of technology in that context is alarming people.”

Professor Joh's scholarship focuses on criminal law and procedure, with a special emphasis on the police use of new technologies. She is the recipient of King Hall’s 2017 Distinguished Teaching Award.
