WIRED's investigative report confirms James Dolan runs an extensive private surveillance operation at Madison Square Garden using face recognition to track individuals, maintain watch lists of critics, and block them from venues—including a trans woman tracked for two years, lawyers, and even a child. The system extends beyond MSG properties to neighborhood surveillance, and Dolan's security teams are so paranoia-driven that employees fear being monitored themselves. This is real documented abuse of private surveillance power, though whether it warrants canceling specific tax breaks is a policy question, not a fact claim.
