Thanks to new legislation, the San Francisco Police Department can now, without a warrant, gain access to live video feeds from privately owned security cameras in the city under certain circumstances.
For the next 15 months, the new city ordinance allows the police department to gain live access to feeds from non-city-owned surveillance cameras without a warrant if it falls under certain conditions.
The police and those in support of the policy said it would not do that, but instead help police do their jobs, especially considering the department is heavily understaffed. Business owners who support the bill say they believe it will help cut down on theft and drug dealing. “That is not a power that I feel comfortable giving,” Ronen said at the board meeting. “It feels to me like we’re yet again giving away more power for, in this case, the police department to surveil our activities when we’re expressing our opinion against the government. That’s becoming a scarier and scarier thing to do in this country.”
