"The IJOP is a system of systems. It gathers information from, but not limited to, gas stations, checkpoints on the street, and access-controlled areas such as communities and schools. It pulls information from these facilities, as well as CCTV cameras, integrates them, and monitors them for “unusual” activity or behavior that triggers alerts that authorities then investigate.
IJOP receives information about gas usage, electricity usage, and package delivery.
The app even includes information about whether someone is using the front door or back door of their home.
For example, we knew that there are the checkpoints, but now we know that some checkpoints are equipped with “data doors,” which covertly collect information from people, such as IMEI numbers, which are unique identifiers assigned to devices, and log this data for identification and tracking purposes."
