Seattle cops have just activated their new 24/7 citywide AI surveillance camera network.

Cops at operations centers will be watching the video from over SIXTY HD cameras in three neighborhoods.

The cops are storing video for 30 days, or indefinably if a cop decides they want to keep it for "investigation".

Seattle residents tried to stop this dragnet, saying it will only empower Trump in our region.

SPD CCTV Cameras are live

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…

Seattle's big brother camera network is being deployed along Aurora and in two very dense deployments in the Central District (CID) and a swath of Downtown.

16 on Aurora
17 in CID
30 cameras downtown

The police have self reported the locations of sixty cameras so far on the dashboard below:

As we said months ago when the city council voted for this dragnet spy network, there are now people whose entire day and life will be on these cameras.

Each of these near neighborhood-wide deployments cover critical services and in some cases enough essential services that a person might be on camera everytime they leave home for years on end.

This legislation SOAP/SODA zones, put forth by Cathy Moore (an ex-Native reservation Court judge) was strongly opposed.

None the less the city council rammed this legislature through.

And Mayor Bruce Harrell, whose up for re-election, happily signed off on this cop city bullshit.

They crushed public comment with massive police presences and violent arrests, with several public commentators still facing charges!

Attached: 3 images I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council. During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town. CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment. #Seattle #SPD #CathyMoore

The constitution, 4th amendment, sound crime research and public comment didn't work, concerned Seattle citizens held a noise demo at Bob Kettle's house. City council's loudest supporter of this crap, ex-SPD cop and current neighborhood watch captain of Queen Anne.

And you know what? Bob's band of sundown town vigilantes violently attacked the protesters and I was smashed in the head for holding a fucking sign.

Attached: 2 images A lot of people don't realize Seattle contains a few sundown towns. Well tonight Queen Anne proved sundown towns are alive and well in Seattle. After about 15min of starting the noise demo, an enraged mob of karens and kens angrily engaged protesters. A shithead ken pushed a transwoman to get to a speaker (which was not in use) behind her. He picked up the speaker and hurled it, striking me in the head, nearly in the temple. https://www.seattlepi.com/local/opinion/article/Remember-Seattle-s-segregated-history-1222098.php #Seattle #QueenAnne #BobKettle

So naturally Bob Kettle, city council's most excited ex-cop who wants a spy network, refused to turn over video footage of my assault directly infront of his home surveillance camera 🥴

I guess Bob Kettle likes his privacy more than solving crimes.

Yet here we are, spying on a few thousand old asian grannies in the CID and probably helping get them in trouble with ICE.

A new community run tool shows the potential coverage area of SPD's new 24/7 citywide camera network.

It's far more extensive than SPD has reported.

These cameras are quite modern.

They include a ring of HD cameras in a 360 ring. They can optionally also have an added PTZ camera with significant zoom capabilities which enabled it to track a person at distances over one mile!

The cameras come with software for everything from tracking individual people to detecting "loitering".

Oh and they also have directional mics.

Given the terrain of Seattle and the fact that these cameras will be mounted high up and possibly in intersections, this means that one mile range could be used to peer into homes and down streets significantly further than SPD's misleading maps suggest.

At 1 mile these cameras can detect people. And at half of a mile they can pickout a basic description of clothes and peoples motions.

The detection area is significant.

Do we really want this?

@nullagent there’s a middle school (Robert Eagle Staff) and an elementary school (Cascadia) within the Aurora corridor zone, which feels wrong.

The reality is that whole swaths of the city are now blanketed.

In the example below they show a single camera in action.

But Seattle now has miles of these. They form a tracking grid and are networked.

The installation Seattle has just deployed is far more wide spread than even the marketers were willing to dream up.

@nullagent they also do have directional mics, so even though they said they wont use them, there is no technical reason for them not to. (maybe not preinstalled, but it's hard to tell.)
