Kaiserslautern votes for intelligent video surveillance - safer or not?

Kaiserslautern, Deutschland - The city council of Kaiserslautern voted in a directional decision to introduce intelligent video surveillance in public spaces. This measure was decided with a large majority, but against the voices of the left and the Greens, which vehemently spoke out against the plans. In particular, the left expressed significant concerns that were discussed in the debate. The city council thus takes a step towards more surveillance technology, which is to be supported by artificial intelligence. This could help to strengthen the feeling of security of the citizens and to make police work more effective, such as swr.de reported.

With the decision for intelligent video surveillance, Kaiserslautern initiates a debate that goes far beyond the city limits. While the opponents' concerns must be taken seriously, supporters of the new measure hope for a noticeable increase in internal security, supported by the latest technology.
