SURVEILLE SCENARIOS

Use of surveillance technology in real cases of  organized crime: drugs importation and firearms  counter-terrorism: NSA-type surveillance  urban security: regular crime, public order, smart city surveillance Scenarios extended in time (serious crime scenario extends over years) Scenarios devised in consultation with police, urban security experts All scenarios available on website

SERIOUS CRIME SURVEILLANCE

SERIOUS CRIME SURVEILLANCE- DRUG TRAFFICKING The more serious the crime, the more justified surveillance, including intrusive surveillance, might be. Some crimes serious not only because of their direct effects  Drug trafficking – not only serious because of harm of drug taking  Creates illicit violent markets and crime to feed debilitating addiction  burglary and robbery rate  importation of firearms, which starts to be life-threatening  gang crime

NSA TYPE SURVEILLANCE

Collection of US person telephone meta-data for counter-terrorism with permission of FISA court Collection of US - non US person content with permission of FISA court On some interpretations of Executive Order NSA can also collect US person content Selection of target on the basis of name and internet traffic content, possibly coded

NSA TYPE SURVEILLANCE- ETHICAL ISSUES Privacy violation less important than often supposed because of the collection/inspection distinction Rather, violates norms of democracy- control of government by people US legislators did not know about surveillance so it could not be subject to democratic control NSA surveillance was a form of unaccountable, un-transparent control of people by government

URBAN SECURITY

Ordinary urban security  Public order  Robbery  Car theft One-off events  Demonstrations  Large scale entertainment  Attacks

URBAN SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES CCTV in public places CCTV in transport ANPR Mobile phone location-tracking Crime reporting portals

URBAN SECURITY ISSUES Urban government close to citizens, which give them apparent legitimacy Urban government mandates might be clearer than national (Krakow) Urban authorities respond to mandates independently of commitments of state party commitments under treaties Sometimes for the sake of efficiency they collect data on a big scale- smart cities data collection becomes routine
