Haven't seen one in person yet but the folks who posted the blog posted also posted a picture of these new signs around the CID.

Seattle's big brother camera network is being deployed along Aurora and in two very dense deployments in the Central District (CID) and a swath of Downtown.
16 on Aurora
17 in CID
30 cameras downtown
The police have self reported the locations of sixty cameras so far on the dashboard below:

Needed some #advice about a specific product today (and the Internet had been a rather big failure regardless of my search terms).
Whilst the #paint area was staffed as I was arriving, by the time I got to the desk, all had disappeared and remained so for several minutes.
Bonus discovery: they probably don't live-monitor their #CCTV cameras. 
30 high value #bicycles have been #stolen from a #bikeshop in Rushmere St Andrew (a suburb just outside #Ipswich in East #Suffolk) by sophisticated #criminals who disabled outside #CCTV and cut #Openreach cables (to prevent #alarms and CCTV activating).
BBC NewsHigh-value bikes stolen in 'organised' raid in Rushmere St AndrewPolice are appealing for information on the break-in which saw about 30 "high value" bikes taken.

I cannot say this often enough.
Presume anything and everything you do in public is on camera. Think #MrRobot and all the things done in that show to avoid cameras and monitoring if you want to avoid #Surveillance.
#Colchester in #Essex is apparently 9th most surveilled area in the UK, according to counts of #Council #CCTV camera schemes..
I guess this is what comes of ignoring the long term effects of #ToxicMasculinity for 30 years (and also being a town with an active #military #barracks) - nearly 20 years ago a young lass told me how the city streets were a warzone at night due to angry men on 'roids and #cocaine

#BBC report on the #CCTV #surveillance networks of the #Taliban in #Kabul #Afghanistan
I am very sceptical they have 90 000 cameras in a public funded CCTV scheme for just one capital - even UK cities don't have as many as that - and where are they getting the bandwidth from, they would need more advanced broadband and LTE than many Western nations!)
(I think the real number of cameras is likely a few thousand)
BBC NewsInside the Taliban's surveillance network monitoring millionsThe Taliban say 90,000 CCTV cameras in Kabul will reduce crime but there are fears for human rights.
Question to enthusiasts:
How do I avoid vendor lock-in with expensive NVRs and other PC equipment in order to create a small CCTV network of about 100 IP cameras in a wireless network?
I understand that the radio/network technology is closed/proprietary + the IP cameras are closed/proprietary, but hopefully there is an OSS solution that can achieve what commercial NVRs can?
I'd also like to avoid Zoneminder.
Seeking suggestions.

A 3 months #research around #patterns to bypass #cctv #facerecognition.
Tested with #opencv.
Project done in the #fabricademy, a programme over textile and technology, at the @greenfabric node.
I knitted 2 kimonos on a #kniterate, a semi-industrial #machineknitting with deadstock yarns. The 3rd one is a deadstock fabric whose pattern was already a working #camouflage for opencv.
The project is fully documented here:

Concerning cctv surveillance, France has recently gone crazy over it... it seems like they want to recognise logos from organisations in protests and faces associated with them... does someone know an opencv algorithm to detect specific images? Or does it necessarily go through machine learning?
“De politie roept getuigen op zich te melden en is op zoek naar camerabeelden.”
Wordt het niet eens tijd om CCTV naar Brits voorbeeld ook in Nederland te installeren in de openbare ruimte? Privacy wordt misbruikt door criminelen en wordt, hoe treurig ook, steeds meer een luxe die we ons niet meer kunnen veroorloven.

Explosie en mogelijke inbraak bij Drents Museum in Assen https://rtl.nl/nieuws/binnenland/artikel/5491211/explosie-en-mogelijke-inbraak-bij-drents-museum-assen
RTL Nieuws · Explosie en mogelijke inbraak bij Drents Museum in AssenBij het Drents Museum in Assen heeft vannacht een explosie plaatsgevonden. De politie denkt dat de explosie mogelijk gepaard ging met een inbraakpoging bij het museum. Het is niet bekend of er buit is meegenomen.
Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.
Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.
My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.
In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.
In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!
A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.
I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ).

"US police claim to use #FacialRecognition technology just as an investigatory lead, but in practice officers routinely ignore protocol and immediately arrest the most likely match spit out by the computer without first doing their own investigation."
"Cities across the United States have decided to join the growing movement to ban police use of face recognition, because this technology is simply too dangerous in the hands of police."
