Palma steps up: More cameras, drones and the big question of privacy

Answer

Are more cameras in Palma likely to make the city safer?

More cameras can help deter vandalism, improve response times and support police work in busy areas of Palma. But safety gains depend on clear rules, proper use and oversight; without that, more surveillance can also create mistrust. The real question is not only how much technology is installed, but how carefully it is managed.
