Halo Summary
Seattle has flipped the switch on a new network of Real‑Time Crime Cameras in high‑crime zones, giving officers a live view of unfolding incidents and sharper situational awareness. Advocates call it a force multiplier—boosting response times, deterring criminal activity, and strengthening community safety. As expected, privacy groups are pushing back, warning about surveillance overreach and constitutional red lines. City officials emphasize the system is locked to public spaces only, with strict protocols designed to prevent abuse.
