Episode Details

Seattle’s mayor has flipped her position on controversial CCTV cameras, activating 22 previously off-grid units in Pioneer Square and SODO ahead of the FIFA World Cup after receiving credible threat intel. Once opposed due to privacy fears and concerns over federal data access, she now says the situation demands action — defining a “credible threat” as intent to harm coupled with means to carry it out. These cameras join over 60 already feeding the city’s Real Time Crime Center, a tool law enforcement says has helped solve serious crimes. They’ll be shut down after the World Cup ends in early July.
