This article discusses the impact of new technologies on ostensive policing, with a focus on racial issues. The São Paulo military police is studied using a varied methodology, that made it possible to analyze the results of policing on the groups of color/race and police officers’ perceptions of institutional racism. Police brutality, new technologies and racism are associated with the maintenance of racialized practices for identifying suspects, projecting meaning onto some black corporalities and identity marks. New technologies have reinforced this kind of profiling and have failed to contribute to the control of police action.Downloads
