Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson just approved warrantless CCTV surveillance.
CCTV on every block, just don't call it flock.
Her office was just handed a scathing report of the CCTV rollouts privacy issues and with barely even enough time to read it Katie plans to expand the SPD operated CCTV system.

If it's possible for a Karen to call the cops on you THEN have your every moved tracked LIVE by SPD for no reason at all then I really think we must ALSO have stronger Karen laws and major clarification of when, how and why the massive spying dragnet can be used.
Good news, I've already started such a petition, I hope you consider signing it today!

@nullagent Yet somehow they just can't catch organized sex traffickers, only the small time independent operators. And they can't catch those responsible for dumping tranquilizer-doped fentanyl in neighborhoods being eyed for gentrification by holding companies.
Why is that?
Seattle council member and 10yr Military Intelligence officer Rob Saka immediately cheered for Katie Wilson's major expansion.
He sees few problems with the 4th amendment violating machines.
You see bc of his experience as a vet who repressed Iraqi civilians he REALLY knows the value of warrentless spying.
If you've not been following the saga of Katie Wilson's flip-flop on CCTV a key part of the story of how we got here is the shooting at Bite of Seattle this year between several teenage gunmen who engaged in settling personal beefs with firearms.
I wrote a few threads covering those events, here's an important perspective.
@nullagent How do you know this? Was this in a public meeting?
@Haste links added. its big news all the council ppl are posting statements rn mostly in support.
The public of course likely hasn't seen this report at all so I've linked it below.
There's TONs of issues with SPD's approach to using and crediting CCTV with solving crimes.
They literally counted it "CCTV assisted" if anyone looked at the CCTV content during an investigation, regardless of whether the content was actually court admissible at all.
It's shocking that Katie Wilson thinks this is a successful pilot.
