2026 Episode 36: Dangerous Invasion of Privacy or Public Safety Necessity? Community Not Cameras and Councilmember Bob Kettle on Seattle's Surveillance System

In a press conference earlier this week, the group Community Not Cameras called Seattle's use of surveillance technology an insecure system that's a "dangerous" threat to civil liberties. But Councilmember Bob Kettle, chair of the Seattle City Council's Public Safety Committee, says the safeguards the city has constructed around this system rank among the best in the U.S. On this episode, Seattle Channel's Brian Callanan talks with Camille Baldwin-Bonney of Community Not Cameras and Councilmember Kettle to get their input on this contentious issue--from privacy concerns to the efficacy of the system in preventing and solving crimes.  If you like what you're hearing, please support the podcast here on Patreon.
