San Francisco Polizei überwachte Proteste mit privatem Kameranetzwerk
Im letzten Jahr hat der Stadtrat von San Francisco eine international beachtete Verordnung gegen Überwachungstechnologie verabschiedet. Diese erschwert die städtische Anschaffung von Überwachungstechnologien und verbietet Gesichtserkennung.
Gegen diese Verordnung hat nun die Polizei von San Francisco (SFPD) offenbar verstoßen, hat die Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) herausgefunden. Während der Proteste gegen Polizeigewalt und Rassismus hat das SFPD auf mehrere hundert Kameras im Union-Square-Bezirk der Stadt über mehrere Tage Echtzeit-Zugriff gehabt. Außerdem hat sich die Behörde eine Kopie aller Kameraaufzeichnung in einem 12-Stundenzeitraum Ende Mai geben lassen.

Nancy Pelosi to Receive First Genuine Left-Wing Challenge in 30 Years
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will face a spirited challenge from activist and attorney Shahid Buttar in the November general election.
Buttar represents a unique, if unlikely challenge to Pelosi, the most powerful elected Democrat in the country and 33-year incumbent for San Francisco’s congressional seat. On Tuesday, Pelosi took 72.5 percent of the vote in California’s 12th Congressional District. Under the state’s unique primary system — where the top-two vote-getters in the primary make it to the general election, even if they belong to the same party — Buttar’s 12.7 percent was enough to get him on the November ballot.
