Subject: California Public Records Act Request: Surveillance San Francisco (San Francisco Department Of Technology)

Portal

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Recent media reports show San Francisco PD will have access to live surveillance cameras: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3656738-san-francisco-oks-surveillance-plan-allowing-police-to-access-private-cameras-in-real-time/
https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=11240602&GUID=8E192C3D-24AF-4851-A25A-DC5DA85E7E77

Therefore, I request the following:

1) All instructional materials, presentations and presentation materials (including recorded video and audio, PowerPoint files, prepared remarks, and slides formats), and other guidance on police use of private surveillance cameras. This includes A) any notes taking during meetings that discussed the use of these cameras, B) any explanations (whether internally or externally generated) of how this program works, and C) any other document that has been used to help explain the use of this program to any party, including internal documentation, public relations materials, and executive summaries.

2) A copy of any privacy impact assessments, use policies, standard operating procedures, data retention policies, legal opinions, warranties, non-disclosure agreements, contracts, liability waivers, insurance agreements, Requests for Proposals, Responses to Requests for Proposal, Memorandums of Understanding, Letters of Interest, usage policies, or informal agreements between the police department (or the city of San Francisco) and owners/operators of private surveillance cameras.

3) Any digital communications including but not limited to emails and text messages) as well as documents, (including but not limited to PDF, word processing, excel, and slide documents) related to this legislation and its implementation.

This will be used in the course of reporting for Motherboard, VICE Media's science and tech site (www.motherboard.vice.com). Because of the time sensitive nature of this new law, I request expedited processing.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jason Koebler

Record request #22-5646 has been closed. The closure reason supplied was:

Dear Requestor,

We have conducted a diligent search and found no records responsive to your request.

Also, please note that the Public Records Act requires an agency to make available to any person a copy of an “identifiable record or records” in its possession (Please see California Government Code § 6253(b).) The Department of Technology's obligation under the Sunshine Ordinance, like the Public Records Act, is to produce public records in its custody. (See San Francisco Administration Code § 67.20(b).) There is no requirement that a department or officer construct a document to meet the specifications of the request.

This concludes your public records request.
