Ignoring the concerns of civil liberties groups, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted 7-4 to allow police to monitor in real time private surveillance cameras. \u00a0As EFF notes in \u00a0San Francisco\u2019s Board of Supervisors Grants Police More Surveillance Powers<\/a><\/p>\n This troubling ordinance also allows police to surveil \u201csignificant events,\u201d loosely defined as large or high-profile events, \u201cfor placement of police personnel.\u201d This essentially gives police a green light to monitor\u2014in real-time\u2014protests and other First Amendment-protected activities, so long as they require barricades or street closures associated with public gatherings. The SFPD has previously been caught using these very same cameras to surveil protests following George Floyd\u2019s murder<\/a>, and the SF Pride Parade, facts that went unaddressed by the majority of Supervisors who authorized the ordinance. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kudos to Supervisors Connie Chan, Dean Preston, Hillary Ronen, and Shamann Walton for voting no.<\/p>\n FIND OUT MORE:<\/p>\n Edward Hasbrouck on Papers Please (papersplease.org)<\/p>\n A deep dive by a travel privacy expert on a fundamental right that’s under threat in a world where abortion is criminalized in an increasing number of states.<\/p>\n In this context, the right to anonymous travel has acquired new importance and urgency.
