## Resource

Missoula’s City Council has paused a controversial plan to install AI-powered surveillance cameras in parks and facilities after heated debate over privacy, technology, and accountability. Fueled by rising incidents like vandalism and muggings, the city pushed for upgrades—but council members questioned whether AI features were necessary, noting most modern cameras come bundled with them. Residents voiced concerns over data security, especially after a major settlement involving data mishandling. With an 8-3 vote, the council sent the proposal back to committee, demanding a formal surveillance policy before any cameras are installed—putting the future of smart surveillance on hold while the community weighs security against privacy.
