On April 1 the Baltimore City Board of Estimates, which includes mayor Jack Young and city council president Brandon Scott, approved a program using planes equipped with high resolution cameras to fly over Baltimore for at least 40 hours per week. The massive spying operation, named Aerial Investigative Research, will be conducted by a private corporation, Persistent Surveillance Systems (PSS).
The program, which has since been temporarily halted on grounds of constitutionality by a federal court, was approved by the city at the request of Baltimore Police Department (BPD) commissioner Michael Harrison. If allowed to go forward, the program will last for an initial trial period of up to six months. The cameras mounted on the city’s aircraft will generate a video record, which will be combined with existing ground cameras, license plate readers and other sensors, to provide the police with an ability to track an individual anywhere they go, at any place or time.
Baltimore has had in excess of 300 murders in each of the last five years, placing it among the top five American cities for homicides per capita. This is just the most visible indicator of a city in a condition of immense social deterioration. According to the US Census Bureau, the poverty rate in Baltimore for 2018 was 18.9 percent, compared to 11.8 percent for the entire US. According to a 2014 study, the city’s child poverty rate was a staggering 32.2 percent. Unable to meet the basic needs of a poverty-stricken population, capitalist governments across the world are turning to more “innovative” forms of rule, of an anti-democratic and authoritarian character.
