Berkeley: Stand Up for Community Control of Police Spy Tech
The Berkeley City Council will soon vote on an ordinance, supported by over two dozen local organizations and national civil rights groups, that will ensure that the people of Berkeley and their elected city council control whether their police and other city agencies will acquire powerful surveillance technologies. The proposed ordinance also would assure transparency in city agencies policies and practices for use of surveillance equipment.
Let your City Council members know that they, the elected representatives of the people of Berkeley, should be empowered with the authority to consider and responsibly approve, or reject, surveillance technology.
