CDU advocates for intelligent video surveillance at high-risk locations - CDU Proposes Intelligent Video Cameras for Rhineland-Palatinate Security

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) faction in Rhineland-Palatinate is set to propose the statewide use of intelligent video cameras to enhance public security. The motion, to be presented next week in the state parliament, aims to address the current lack of legal basis for such systems in the region.

CDU experts, including Dirk Herber and Gordon Schnieder, have highlighted the importance of video footage in solving crimes and improving the public's sense of security. The proposal advocates for the use of intelligent video cameras, equipped with real-time suspicious activity detection software, to protect public spaces. The ministry of the interior has previously proposed the use of such systems in vulnerable locations. The CDU faction points to successful implementations in other cities and the legal precedent set in Hesse, where 'fear spaces' allow municipalities to employ video surveillance systems.

The CDU faction's proposal seeks to leverage AI and intelligent video technology to bolster public safety in Rhineland-Palatinate. The motion, to be discussed next week, aims to fill the legal gap currently preventing the deployment of such systems in the region.
