Police officials say important surveillance tools soon won't be available to them if amendments aren't made. Advocates say the city is doing little to meet the new law's obligations.
Mayor Todd Gloria said his office will be proposing amendments to San Diego’s hard-fought surveillance ordinance next month, a law that has continued to cause controversy and confusion since its passage last year. The ordinance, unanimously approved by City Council last September, stemmed from public outcry over the city’s mishandling of a network of thousands of so-called smart streetlights.
It’s an inventory the Privacy Advisory Board, a volunteer oversight group created by the law, must have in order to determine which tools should be evaluated first. After more than a year since the law’s passage, a draft document released by city officials is still incomplete and contains internal disagreements about what tools fall under the ordinance.
