San Francisco Democratic Party backs Flock surveillance cameras

Original: S.F. Democratic Party stands behind Flock surveillance cameras in vote

The San Francisco Democratic Party has voted to stand behind Flock surveillance cameras, taking a position on the automated license plate reader network that has divided the city. The endorsement puts the local party at odds with civil liberties advocates who have pushed back against the cameras' use. The vote highlights an ongoing debate in San Francisco over policing, privacy and surveillance technology.

Why now: The party's vote has rekindled local debate over surveillance and privacy ahead of elections.
