Another KPR banger! From Joe Sonka, watchdog groups have already criticized the transparency of Ky.s judicial disclosures.

We've got some seriously badass stories coming out in the next few days at Louisville Public Media. KYCIR Editor jacob ryan gets us started with this one:

LMPD are using tech that creates a copy of your phone's data, but aren't talking about how they use it.

Here's what we know: LMPD has spent more than $205,000 since 2020 on a powerful, yet controversial, cell phone data extraction tool called Graykey.

What we don't know: How LMPD uses the tool, who they target and what kind of information they extract. lpm.org/investigate/20…

If you also keep 90% of your life on your phone, you should read jacob ryan’s latest. LMPD paid >$200,000 over the last few years for a tool that can extract all that juicy phone data

And they won’t hand over any details on how they’re using it
