## Resource

Seattle’s Mayor Katie Wilson is shutting down World Cup surveillance cameras in the Stadium District — keeping her promise to use them only during the event — and pausing new installations until a privacy audit is done. The move follows heated debate with city council and community groups, including “Community Not Cameras,” who demand full removal over civil liberties concerns. Even some of her former supporters have formed “Our Seattle” to push for dismantling surveillance systems they deem insecure and prone to abuse. While World Cup officials and downtown advocates praised the cameras for keeping incidents low, the Seattle Police Department insists they’re limited to object recognition, avoid audio or facial recognition, and won’t assist in abortion, gender-affirming care, or immigration enforcement cases.
