Ben Knight is a journalist in Berlin who mainly writes about German politics. The Constitutional Court is not expected to make a decision for several more months – in the meantime, the police in Hesse will continue to use the software. Complicating an already complex issue is that the Hesse state parliament has also commissioned an investigative committee to establish whether or not the government's procurement procedure was lawful. "I think that is problematic in itself, that the opposition apparently had no other way of having an influence on the procedure." Thiel said that Hessendata was essentially a "platform that offers you an overview of the data that you already have. You can for example identify groups of offenders, where before you only had individual facts," he said. "For example, with a ring of child pornography users and producers, it was often very difficult to establish who might be involved. This software can be used for that."

However, in a recent interview with Jeff Schultz ofThe Athletic,Alex Anthopoulos left the door open to parting ways with Ozuna in some capacity. This mindset has trickled into the high school and college baseball and softball ranks, where sluggers have taken these moments of showmanship to the next level. This is the Braves' team-wide celebration, so the home run probably wouldn't have counted if he forgot to include this.

Experts are divided over whether "Hessendata" constitutes "predictive policing." Earlier in the offseason, Mark Bowman reported the club unsuccessfully tried to trade Ozuna prior to the trade deadline, noting the deal was for Patrick Corbin, who notoriously has one of the worst contracts in the MLB. He’s owed $59 million over the next two seasons… AND the Nationals still weren’t willing to take on the remaining $33 million left on Ozuna’s deal. Retired MLB player Jeff Frye, who never hit more than four home runs in a single season, posted it to Twitter where it's received more than 10,000 retweets and four million views.

The 2020 NL MVP with the Braves appeared more relaxed after his emotional return Friday when he received his 2021 World Series championship ring in a pregame ceremony. The Braves outfielder backed up that claim with his biggest hit of the season. There’s a chance we see some positive regression and get a version of Ozuna that is closer to his 2020 campaign, but if his performance in the Dominican Winter League is any indication, it’s not likely.

White was pulled after giving singles to Ronald Acuña Jr. and Swanson to open the fourth. Ozuna's team was down by eight runs at one point in a playoff game during the NAIA Sooner Athletic Conference baseball tournament. It wasn't until Ozuna's monster home run in the ninth inning that WBU finally took the lead and eventually won the game to keep their season alive.

In 13 games with 45 at-bats, Ozuna has posted a .222 average with one home run. His .695 OPS and other metrics are on par with what we saw him produce with the Braves last year, which isn’t encouraging. The Braves have an absolute black hole in left field, and I’m not sure getting rid of Ozuna will fix it. Sure, they might have some pocket change to fill the void if they get his contract off the books. But given the Braves’ needs and their payroll situation, it’s very possible Ozuna is on the 2023 Opening Day roster. "There’s no indication Austin bet on NFL games as a coach but bet on other sports..."

And his off-the-field issues aren’t helping, catching a DUI and domestic violence charge in a short period. Ozuna spiked the bat into the dirt (and hopefully didn't hit anyone with it). When he reached home, he emphatically stomped on home plate to a resounding "BOOM!" from his teammates in the dugout. It's safe to say that Ozuna's teammates were fans of his antics as star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. decided to recreate the fake selfie in the Braves dugout. The reason for the selfies may have also been to take a little revenge on the Reds.

Ever since debuting this one against the Reds in the Wild Card Series, the Braves have been celebrating home runs by taking "selfies" in the dugout. So, he paused around third base, waited for third-base coach Ron Washington to pop his head into frame, and snapped the pic. Though "Hessendata," adapted from the Gotham program developed by the US company Palantir, is not yet in use in Hamburg, it is already being used extensively by the Hesse police since 2017.

Dodgers RHP Tony Gonsolin (9-0, 1.58) will put his unbeaten record on the line when he faces Braves rookie RHP Spencer Strider (3-2, 3.40) in Sunday night's final game of the weekend series. A three-man crew of umpires started the game before Alex MacKay, a late fill-in, arrived in the fourth inning. MacKay was summoned when Cory Blaser could not work the game for medical reasons.

In November, MLB suspended the 31-year-old Ozuna retroactively for 20 games under its domestic violence policy, allowing him to return for the start of this season. Travis d'Arnaud led off the seventh with a double to left field off Brusdar Graterol (2-3). Ozuna hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and Atlanta recovered after blowing a three-run lead to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 on Saturday night. Ozuna hit a baseball where very few have, well beyond the center field wall at Fenway Park. Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna had already cranked two home runs when he stepped up to the plate in the top of the eighth against the Boston Red Sox.

MLB Home Runs Hit by Marcell Ozuna

MLB has conducted interleague play since 1997, and it's taken this long for a player from the senior circuit to hit three home runs in a game at Fenway. Coincidentally, the Braves in their Boston days called Fenway home on a temporary basis for parts of the 1913, 1914, and 1915 seasons, but back in the deadball era three-homer games were even more of a rarity. Ozuna also becomes the first visiting player to homer three times in a game at Fenway since Mark Teixeira of the Yankees in 2010. German football fans are often labeled violent, despite decreasing rates of football-related offenses. New police data reveals the extent to which the authorities keep track of supporters, infringing their civil rights.

"Only when we bring all the puzzle pieces of a threat together does the threat become identifiable," he told the judges. Simon Egbert, sociologist and predictive policing researcher at Bielefeld University, thinks that is the key problem, especially as Hessendata is being searched 14,000 times per year by the police. "The critical public has problems even forming an opinion about what is actually happening," he told DW. Freddie Freeman had one hit with three strikeouts — including a bases-loaded whiff to end the seventh — in the second game of his much-anticipated return to Atlanta.

And then he hit another homer, which was a particularly incredible blast. That was certainly true when Adam Duvall hit another two-run shot later that same inning to build the lead out to 5-0. Though he didn't pause mid-trot to snap his photo, he got it going once he was back in the dugout with the rest of the team. Sources have confirmed media reports that federal criminal police purchased and used the controversial Israeli surveillance spyware despite lawyers' objections.

The video of the home run celebration circulated over social media, and many users weren't thrilled with Ozuna's antics. One college baseball player's controversial home run celebration is causing a rift among baseball fans. A police plan for video surveillance of a Dortmund street home to suspected neo-Nazis has been overruled by an administrative court.

The German research and advocacy organization AlgorithmWatch says that Hessendata coordinates information from police databases with phone records and social media accounts to investigate potential criminals and terrorists. The police in Hesse also want to use it to profile child abusers and traffickers. However, the home run -- which padded the Braves' lead, and led to a 2-0 series victory -- wasn't exactly what had people talking. After hitting the home run, Ozuna pretended to take a selfie as he trotted down the first base line. One out later, Swanson hit a first-pitch slider 413 feet over the center field fence for a 2-0 lead. Mitch White, recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowed three runs and five hits with two walks in four-plus innings.

Markus Thiel, a law professor at the German Police University, who represented the Hamburg government at Tuesday's hearing, said that the law is already very clear about what the police can and can't do. "For me, it is very important that the standards we have, both in Hesse law and Hamburg law, formulate clear preconditions," he told DW. "And they say this software is only to be used to prevent serious crimes, and only to avert serious threats." Germany's Constitutional Court began hearings this week on the use of new police surveillance software in the states of Hesse and Hamburg, which both controversially changed policing laws to accommodate the new software. Germany's Constitutional Court is weighing up whether CIA-funded Palantir surveillance software can be used by the country's police.
