Santa Cruz Needs Community Control of Surveillance

Santa Cruz has an opportunity to emulate Oakland, San Francisco and a dozen other cities across the country in reining in the surveillance state. The mayor has introduced a surveillance oversight measure to require council-approved usage polices that are noticed to the public before adoption for input, annual reportbacks about surveillance activities, data sharing restrictions, and bans on the use of predictive policing and facial recognition.
