In this episode of the TJ Smith Podcast, we delve into how cutting-edge technology is being leveraged for crime prevention in Baltimore and across the nation. Through an insightful discourse, TJ discusses the historical resistance and gradual acceptance of surveillance tools such as facial recognition and aerial technologies. Using real-life examples, he demonstrates the significant role these technologies play in solving crimes, their benefits, and the controversies they raise. Several community-driven initiatives, including the implementation of Ring doorbell cameras through state grants, highlight the growing need for effective surveillance, especially in neighborhoods striving to enhance safety.
