Mamdani Shocks NYC by Overseeing the Very Spy Network He Fought
Zohran Mamdani — once a fierce critic of police spying — has now inherited control over NYC’s massive surveillance system. The vast Domain Awareness System (DAS), which includes thousands of cameras, license-plate readers, and gunsh*t detectors, will now operate under Mamdani’s watch. Civil-liberties advocates are asking the big question: can Mamdani truly reform the “city-watch,” or will he just manage the very system he once strongly condemned?
