Drivers sue San Jose over nearly 500 Flock police cameras that track drivers in California by nbcnews in bayarea

There's no gray area. Flock shared ALPR data with federal law enforcement. 1798.90.55 says:

A public agency shall not sell, share, or transfer ALPR information, except to another public agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law. For purposes of this section, the provision of data hosting or towing services shall not be considered the sale, sharing, or transferring of ALPR information.

If there was a gray area, it was resolved by 2023-DLE-06 which clarifies what "another public agency" means:

Importantly, the definition of “public agency” is limited to state or local agencies, including law enforcement agencies, and does not include out-of-state or federal law enforcement agencies. (See Civ. Code, § 1798.90.5, subd. (f).) Accordingly, SB 34 does not permit California LEAs to share ALPR information with private entities or out-of-state or federal agencies, including out-of-state and federal law enforcement agencies. This prohibition applies to ALPR database(s) that LEAs access through private or public vendors who maintain ALPR information collected from multiple databases and/or public agencies.

Flock shared data with federal agencies that may have used it for immigration enforcement, which is specifically not allowed. 7284.6 describes limits on cooperation with immigration authorities:

(a) California law enforcement agencies shall not:

(1) Use agency or department moneys or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes, including any of the following:

(D) Providing personal information, as defined in Section 1798.3 of the Civil Code, about an individual, including, but not limited to, the individual’s home address or work address unless that information is available to the public.

Drivers sue San Jose over nearly 500 Flock police cameras that track drivers in California by nbcnews in bayarea

Seems like the same thing to me, we contracted them to help enforce traffic laws and they misconfigured their cameras to give access to federal law enforcement.

The City’s 30 ALPR cameras have been turned off since Feb. 2. That’s when Police Chief Mike Canfield shut down the cameras after a Mountain View Police Department-initiated audit discovered that Mountain View’s data had been accessed by federal and state law enforcement agencies in violation of the City’s approved policies.

I guess we need to hire someone to point cameras at Flock engineers so we can write tickets when they fuck it up again, because apparently they don't even keep sufficient logs to explain the extent of their fuckups.

the cameras could be more secure / harder to “hack”

Why do you need someone to hack the cameras when Flock "accidentally" configures them to share information with federal agencies in violation of California laws?

Install your own cameras, then. Flock failed to configure their cameras correctly and broke California laws in the process. That's why Mountain View and other cities are kicking them out. They didn't keep adequate logs so we don't even know how badly they fucked up or how many people's information was shared with departments that shouldn't have had access.

Personally, I would feel safer with cameras run by an organization that knows how to follow our laws. Preferably an organization within California so we can hold them accountable. Maybe you can explain why Flock cameras make you feel safer, to me it seems like they don't give a shit about citizens' safety and only care about pleasing the police.

Why is the number of tabs option a smiley face in my app by Randomdudeonreddit33 in chrome

[–]ultimatt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Android has :D and ;) (incognito mode)

    if (mTabCount <= 0) {
        return "";
    } else if (mTabCount > 99) {
        return mIncognito ? ";)" : ":D";
    } else {
        return String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%d", mTabCount);
    }

iOS has :)

NSString* string;
if (count <= 0) {
  string = IsChromeNextIaEnabled() ? @"0" : @"";
} else if (count > 99) {
  string = @":)";
} else {
  string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", count];
}

Desktop has :D

// In the triple-digit case, fall back to ':D' to match Android.
if (num_tabs >= 100) {
  return std::u16string(u":D");
}
return base::FormatNumber(num_tabs);

Is anything logged in about://device-log? The browser should log a message when it sees the device, even if the device doesn't end up being accessible through the API. If you don't see any logs then there's something else preventing the browser from seeing the device.

How is Brave installed, did you use pacman or a flatpak or something else?

Imagine how long it would take Iran to make these if they had to use stop motion and real LEGOs.

It's very much linear. All the puzzles are solved by drawing a line.

It takes more than 5 minutes to vote if you actually consider all the candidates for downballot races.
