Public Safety Surveillance Tools, Hartfort, CT Crime: "How much do we want to militarize our communities?" Office of Hartford City Councilwoman Wildaliz Bermudez asked. “It’s almost like we are the guinea pigs for new video equipment and surveillance." From Toronto to New York, urban centers across the continent (and the world) have, for many years now, been watching and recording citizens in the name of public safety surveillance,—which seems to be inching toward "predictive policing" or perhaps even "pre-crime." In turn, Bermudez crafted a policy, which has been working its way through the legislative affairs and public safety committees, to introduce "democratic control" over the powerful surveillance technology.

We certainly have less than London. Still increasing.
