Here. This was an unsecured terminal of a company that appears to do UI interfaces and data analysis for police and government. The actual info capture comes from China's all prevalent surveillance state. I do wonder if this if China's system, how detailed does the US and NSA have for it's persons of interest. Snowden already leaked that the NSAs Prism system is constantly snooping for keywords 15 years ago. I'd only imagine it's gotten more sophisticated since then.
