This looks pretty distopic.

Crowd control can be a matter of public safety, but the combination of electronic red screen and multiple cameras doesn’t exactly give a pleasant vibe

dystopia is the hundreds of dead bodies crammed together in a Seoul alleyway on Halloween 2022. dystopia is not regulating the flow of traffic

Oh I don't mean that the crowd control itself is distopic. It's only the way that it's done and how the photo is taken that gives a distopic vibe.

I was thinking the exact same thing. This is the opposite of dystopian, this shows a government that cares about citizen safety.

Have you ever seen a crowd surge?

I've seen a surge protector.
