Open Source information is a vital capability to gather data in efforts to forecast potential threats and/or events occurring across the globe.
OSINT examples can be beneficsial to law enforcement with investigation of groups or persons of interest and/or identifying homegrown terrorist ideologies to include potential threats thereof. An example OSINT for investigating group and/or persons of interest can contribute to controlling criminal behaviors and activities on rallies, protests and other political events. There can be “peaceful” protest, but unfortunately there are individuals and groups have strong opposing viewpoints which can be a recipe for disaster. Everyone has the right to their opinion however, law enforcement can leverage OSINT to establish proportional preventative measures to limit social injustices and prevent criminal activities in-accordance with federal, state and local ordinances and laws.
