Seattle mayor pauses expansion of anti-crime surveillance camera program amid ICE, privacy concerns

Seattle Mayor Katie B. Wilson is announcing her next steps on the city’s surveillance policy at a press conference Thursday afternoon. Wilson is expected to detail her decision regarding the city’s surveillance pilot project and take questions from the media. Subject-matter experts will also be available to answer specific technical questions that may arise. The Seattle City Council previously approved an expansion of the Seattle Police Department’s surveillance camera program into several high-traffic neighborhoods, a move supporters said would help address rising crime, while critics warned raised significant privacy concerns. Particular concern has been raised about how surveillance data might be shared with federal authorities, especially in relation to immigrant communities.
