Quick Glance: California Governor Implements 500 Surveillance Cameras in Oakland to Combat Crime

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the installation of 480 high-tech surveillance cameras in Oakland and surrounding freeways to combat crime.

The cameras can identify and track vehicles by license plate, type, color, and even decals and bumper stickers, providing authorities with real-time alerts of suspect vehicles.

Opponents argue that the technology infringes on privacy and may lead to further police abuse, while advocates defend it as a tool to effectively combat criminal activity and hold perpetrators accountable.

Several prominent employers in Oakland have also taken measures to improve public safety as the debate over the use of surveillance technologies continues.

Quick Glance: Thousands of Detroit Casino Workers Threaten Strike on Tuesday

About 3,700 Detroit casino workers will strike at 12 pm on Tuesday if no contract is reached, according to the Detroit Casino Council (DCC).

A strike will impact operations at MGM Grand Detroit operated by MGM Resorts International (MGM.N), MotorCity Casino, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown operated by Penn Entertainment (PENN.O).

On September 29, 99% of voting workers from all unionized groups in the three Detroit casinos authorized the DCC negotiating committee to call a strike.

In 2020, the DCC agreed to a three-year contract extension with 3% annual raises as casinos struggled during the pandemic, but inflation in Detroit has risen 20% since then, according to a statement from the DCC on Monday.
