#2Basically every city in the UK (not technically in the EU since Jan) have it, that's 72 right there. Is this meant to be a secret?

#3@mods, actual title is "Unchecked use of computer vision by police carries high risks of discrimination" which is the big issue here.

The article is about using Machine Learning on the video feeds, not that there are video feeds. And the issue at hand is that ML algorithms can have racial bias in the classifications.

Seems like a red herring. They want you to assume that mass violations of privacy are okay as long as they're not racist.
They're also ignoring classism - It's fine if the rights of the working class are violated, as long as they're all violated equally. Never-mind the people who can afford privacy on the free market.

Yes, mass surveillance is A-OK as long as it's not racist.

Is this actually a useful metric? Cities should be compared to cities.
Also, that link doesn’t seem to say whether cameras are owned by the state. Presumably surveillance operated by the government is more totalitarian than various private businesses.

You have no expectation of privacy in public or on state owned areas (roads, walkways, squares, parks).

From a personal point of view the valuable stat would be the likelihood I will be on camera, don't you think? Seems per-capita covers that?
