Earlier this week, City Councilmember Stephen Whitburn called for the removal of Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras.
“It is difficult for me to continue supporting the use of Flock license plate readers, when I keep hearing from so many people who are afraid these cameras will be misused by our federal government,” he said.
On KPBS Roundtable, we talk about the significance of Whitburn’s change in heart surrounding ALPR cameras, at a time when the San Diego Police Department is thinking about new ways to use AI tools.
Then, we unpack how a package of new state housing laws may be felt in San Diego — and how they could impact key housing projects like Midway Rising.
Plus, we sit down with Major League Baseball and Padres legend Dave Winfield to talk about his career and legacy, which he explores in a new memoir.
