so people in the CID should just accept a ridiculous amount of violent crime in their neighborhood?
I'm confused.
I value privacy. but if I lived on north aurora I'd want them to reduce the streetwalkers and violence. not sure how to do that without putting hundreds more cops on the streets, sans the cameras...
now the issues I have come down to SPD viewing surveillance as an alternative to actually enforcing the laws. or SPOG figuring out a way to grift more overtime from it.
I get it, I fucking despise trump too, but just saying "federal law enforcement will have access to this local law enforcement tool so it has to go away" seems dubious from the premise.

I don't doubt hate crimes are increasing,
I do doubt that crime in general is increasing. I do doubt that intensive and automated surveillance is anywhere remotely close to helpful. I do doubt that relying on law enforcement, which is usually on the side of the hateful, are the right custodians of mass surveillance, let alone given discretion to use violence in response to it.

Here is the map of CCTV camera locations. The ones we're being told about, at least.
It also lists camera models. The one on 7th Ave S and S King Street is listed as an Axis Q6100-E/Q6135-LE. To give you an idea of what these things are capable of, have a look at this product spec video.

Sounds like the plot to a video game... That video game turned out great for the company that did this...

This will be the future of every metropolitan city. Wait until the robot police are dispatched to apprehend the criminals.

We'll do anything to not treat the cause of problems. Why help the homeless when you can just make it illegal to sleep anywhere. Out of sight, out of mind.
