São Paulo Race Centers on Tech Security Split Between Investigation and Real‑Time Surveillance
The campaign’s contrast could determine whether the state prioritizes centralized criminal probes and police oversight or a vast expansion of live monitoring and operational policing.
Overview
- Fernando Haddad proposes creating an Agência Estadual Antifacção to centralize investigations, coordinate state and federal agencies, target faction finances and publish transparency tools such as a state crime-data scoreboard.
- Tarcísio de Freitas is campaigning to scale the SP CIN intelligence center and the Muralha Paulista monitoring network with a stated goal of more than 160,000 connected devices to speed real‑time response.
- Haddad wants to restore continuous street recording on police body cameras and strengthen independent oversight of police activity while Tarcísio defends the current non‑continuous activation model set by the 2025 STF agreement.
- Both campaigns back expanded 24‑hour women’s police stations, victim protection measures and larger prison work programs, but differ on prison policy with Haddad stressing segregation by criminological profile and resocialization.
- The choice poses tradeoffs for residents: the investigative model emphasizes asset disruption and public oversight while the monitoring model promises faster intervention through broader surveillance and data integration.
