Hi-Tech Neighborhood Watch

Tech, Politics and Social IssueTom WalmaComment

Idea: Mini local surveillance networks where people in a neighborhood share access to their outdoor cameras with each other and use state-of-the-art software to detect gunshots, follow people from camera to camera, etc. The police wouldn't have direct access to the video, but the people could manually send video to the police if they choose to do so. Also: it is meant to be the opposite of "big brother" mass surveillance; people in the neighborhood might provide more humanity and understand the context of a situation better than police doing "big brother"-style mass police surveillance (for example, people in the neighborhood might only report the most dangerous criminals); watching your loved ones from camera-to-camera as they walk to the bus to make sure they're safe
