DESCRIPTION:Come Support This Ordinance to Prevent Unconstitutional and Unwarranted 
 Surveillance!\n\nTell the City Council to pass the Privacy Commission's 
 version. No weakening. No watering down. Real change. \n\n \nSubject: 
 Surveillance And Community Safety Ordinance \nFrom: Office Of The City 
 Administrator \nRecommendation: Adopt A Surveillance And Community Safety 
 Ordinance Which Prescribes The Rules For The Acquisition And Use Of 
 Surveillance Equipment And Technology, Establishes Oversight, Auditing And 
 Reporting Requirements, And Imposes Penalties For Violations\n \n\nIt’s 
 been a little over three years since we came together to stop the DAC – 
 the surveillance octopus orwellingly named the Domain Awareness 
 Center.\n\nOut of that effort came the establishment of the Oakland Privacy 
 Advisory Commission by the Oakland City Council. One of its mandates was to 
 propose an ordinance to regulate all use of surveillance equipment by the 
 City of Oakland, including and especially by OPD.\n\nThe ordinance the 
 Commission has crafted, approved unanimously in January, is now up for 
 consideration by the Oakland City Council. It will first be taken up by the 
 Council’s Public Safety Committee on May 9, 2017. This is a crucial 
 hearing.\n\nWe need and would very much like you to send a simple letter of 
 support for the ordinance to City Council members. Here’s a brief 
 summary of what the ordinance will do:\nPublic hearings on every new gadget 
 and computer program that can be used for surveillance or monitoring\n 
 	Approval or denial by vote of the Council on such equipment and software 
 acquisition.\n 	Approval or denial by vote of the Council on any proposed 
 information sharing with Federal agencies (e.g. ICE).\n 	Evaluation of 
 civil rights concerns, and a cost/benefit analysis, BEFORE approval.\n 
 	Putting in place a privacy and use policy before any equipment or software 
 can be deployed, specifying what it may – and may not – be used for, 
 and how long any data it may gather may be kept.\n 	A public report every 
 year on how and when the equipment or software has been used. \n 	Imposes 
 penalties for violations of the ordinance or a use policy.\n\nSend Them An 
 Email: Tell the City Council NOW to pass the Privacy Commission's version. 
 No weakening. No watering down. Real change. \n
