MTL 46 reflects on the true usefulness of urban security cameras and discusses the normalcy of being filmed practically everywhere: businesses, streets, schools, workplaces, parks, residential cameras, public transit, and much more. While these cameras are presented as a way to provide a sense of security, combat crime, including gun violence, and be used as an investigative tool to apprehend perpetrators, experts from the University of Ottawa indicate that they do not reassure citizens or reduce crime. Moreover, according to an analysis by La Presse, there is an increase in crime, and the cameras have no impact on the feeling of security. What is the real objective of these cameras? Is it to monitor us in real time? It's possible, because since 2025, the Montreal police have been able to do so using AI and specialized software, the name of which the SPVM (Montreal Police Service) refuses to disclose. According to La Presse, this software could connect to other cameras in the city and on public transportation. This would increase the number of cameras from 46 to hundreds. In any case, the work prompts reflection on urban surveillance, which reduces our freedom and our sense of security.
