SPD is now doing 24/7 surveillance of the CID, Aurora North, & Belltown/Downtown. The surveillance includes both people watching camera feeds and algorithms including object recognition. ALL vi…
Found through, and title from, Nullagent. The thread is definitely worth checking out.
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.
What ridiculous amount of crime are you alluding to? It’s been going down over the past several decades, not up.
But if you must call for more of something, why not just call for more boots on the ground in those minority neighborhoods? That always turns out well.
And why would you assume a surveillance panopticon would only be used for good purposes?
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.

I don’t doubt hate crimes are increasing,

no more cops and no surveillance - you just figure the crimes will stop themselves.
