EFF opposes San Francisco's Proposition E

Prop E would give police officers more power to use surveillance technology and ease restrictions on car chases. Proponents of the measure argue it would shore up public safety by giving police more tools to combat crime. Electronic Frontier Foundation Senior Staff Attorney Saira Hussain explains why the EFF opposes Prop E

Everything new is not good—and we can't trust SFPD with uncontrolled surveillance

“What we’re seeing in San Francisco isn’t limited to San Francisco,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @CalMatters about Prop E, which would roll back crucial civilian oversight of police. “It has implications for other cities and jurisdictions as well.” #NOPEonE

Police want drones in car chases. How SF's Prop E could affect that

San Francisco will soon decide whether to let police use drones in high-speed car chases, among other things.

For how long should we let police violate our privacy & safety without accountability & oversight? ”A small band of tech billionaires have joined forces to raise over $1 million to convince us the answer is at least one year,” EFF’s Nash Sheard said. #NOPEonE

“Prop. E is an extension of the policies that were created that criminalized Black and brown communities by over-policing us, over-charging us and pushing us deeper into the cycles of incarceration,” @youngwomenfree's Lucero Herrera said. #NOPEonE https://missionlocal.org/2024/02/prop-e-foes-demonstrate-outside-y-combinator-hq/

Buying residents’ geolocation data? A swarm of police drones overhead? Robot dogs? San Francisco Police could pursue any of these and much more without accountability under Prop E, EFF’s Saira Hussain tells @reasonmagazine. #NOPEonE https://reason.com/2024/02/22/proposition-e-would-make-it-easier-for-police-to-surveil-san-francisco/

Just text banked a bunch of people for No on Prop E. Lots of good conversations!

Don't be a defeatist about SF politics, or politics in general. *Do* something about it! Yes, there is a lot of pro-carceral tech money, and yes, the city seems to be in an anxious mood that might lead people to vote for dumb stuff. That's not the end of the story tho. The rich tech jerks still have us to contend with, doing our best to block their way.
