Court battle over security camera use in San Francisco
There's a court battle over security camera use in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO - Civil rights groups have gone to court in their effort to stop San Francisco police from using private security cameras.
The ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and other groups filed a brief in a federal appeals court on Monday, claiming that San Francisco police two years ago used a network of 300 security cameras in Union Square to spy on demonstrators who were protesting the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.
Recently, a lower court ruled in favor of the police and their use of security cameras.
