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

Answer

Could surveillance also help at Palma’s busy public places like Plaza de España?

Yes, surveillance can be useful in busy public places if it helps with traffic flow, incidents or nighttime safety. But places such as Plaza de España also need careful handling so that recordings are not kept longer than necessary or used for broad monitoring. The benefit depends on transparency and limits, not just on installing more equipment.
