A new video from human rights organization Amnesty International maps the locations of more than 15,000 cameras used by the New York Police Department, both for routine surveillance and in facial-recognition searches. A 3D model shows the 200-meter range of a camera, part of a sweeping dragnet capturing the unwitting movements of nearly half of the cityâs residents, putting them at risk for misidentification. The group says it is the first to map the locations of that many cameras in the city.
Amnesty International and a team of volunteer researchers mapped cameras that can feed NYPDâs much criticized facial-recognition systems in three of the cityâs five boroughsâManhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronxâfinding 15,280 in total. Brooklyn is the most surveilled, with over 8,000 cameras.
