San Francisco's new district attorney Brooke Jenkins proposed rules that would allow the police department to tap into privately owned security cameras and camera networks to live monitor "significant events with public safety concerns" and ongoing felony or misdemeanor violations.
Additionally, the ordinance would allow police to "gather and review historical video footage for the purposes of conducting a criminal investigation."
