Surveillance in San Diego | Teri Figueroa

The San Diego City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an ordinance that would govern all surveillance technologies in the city — action rooted in pushback after the city had quietly installed cameras on 3,000 smart streetlights.The councilmembers also backed a second ordinance creating an advisory board to oversee uses of surveillance technology.The proposals face a few more steps before becoming law, but the unanimous votes marked a leap forward in a push by advocates fighting for transparency and oversight for surveillance programs in the city.https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2020-11-10/san-diego-city-council-unanimously-backs-ordinances-to-govern-surveillance-technologies
