I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Twitter Inc. published a surveillance report in July but couldn't include the exact number of national security requests it received because Internet companies are prohibited from disclosing that information, even if they didn't get any requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based company said in a blog post that it believes it's entitled under the First Amendment to \"respond to our users' concerns and to the statements of U.S. government officials by providing information about the scope of U.S. government surveillance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government has been able to access phone networks and high-speed Internet traffic for years to catch suspected criminals and terrorists. The FBI also started pushing technology companies like Google, Skype and others to guarantee access to their data streams and grab emails, video chats, pictures and more. It recently emerged that \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/us-threatened-massive-fine-to-force-yahoo-to-release-data/2014/09/11/38a7f69e-39e8-11e4-9c9f-ebb47272e40e_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo was threatened with a daily fine of $250,000\u003c/a> by the U.S. government if it didn't comply with demands to give up information on its users. A secret 2007 lawsuit and subsequent appeal was ultimately unsuccessful, the company said last month after a federal judge ordered some material about the court challenge to be unsealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology companies say they turn over information only if required by court order, and in the interest of transparency with their customers, want to share information about the government's activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our ability to speak has been restricted by laws that prohibit and even criminalize a service provider like us from disclosing the exact number of national security letters ('NSLs') and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ('FISA') court orders received -- even if that number is zero,\" Ben Lee, Twitter's vice president of legal, wrote \u003ca href=\"https://blog.twitter.com/2014/taking-the-fight-for-transparency-to-court\" target=\"_blank\">in a blog post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, the Justice Department and five leading Internet companies, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn, agreed to a compromise that would allow the firms to reveal how often they are ordered to turn over information about their customers in national security investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOJ spokeswoman Emily Pierce said in an email Tuesday that the agency worked collaboratively with those companies \"to allow them to provide broad information on government requests while also protecting national security.\" The FBI referred requests for comment to the Justice Department's response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Twitter's lawsuit pushes further -- for example, it wants to be able to disclose what types of information the government did or didn't ask for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hope that other technology companies will now follow Twitter's lead,\" said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, in a statement. \"Technology companies have an obligation to protect their customers' sensitive information against overbroad government surveillance, and to be candid with their customers about how their information is being used and shared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"twittersuit\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/242228387/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_53693\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Twitter Inc. published a surveillance report in July but couldn't include the exact number of national security requests it received because Internet companies are prohibited from disclosing that information, even if they didn't get any requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based company said in a blog post that it believes it's entitled under the First Amendment to \"respond to our users' concerns and to the statements of U.S. government officials by providing information about the scope of U.S. government surveillance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government has been able to access phone networks and high-speed Internet traffic for years to catch suspected criminals and terrorists. The FBI also started pushing technology companies like Google, Skype and others to guarantee access to their data streams and grab emails, video chats, pictures and more. It recently emerged that \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/us-threatened-massive-fine-to-force-yahoo-to-release-data/2014/09/11/38a7f69e-39e8-11e4-9c9f-ebb47272e40e_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo was threatened with a daily fine of $250,000\u003c/a> by the U.S. government if it didn't comply with demands to give up information on its users. A secret 2007 lawsuit and subsequent appeal was ultimately unsuccessful, the company said last month after a federal judge ordered some material about the court challenge to be unsealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology companies say they turn over information only if required by court order, and in the interest of transparency with their customers, want to share information about the government's activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a post on Facebook — yes, ironic — the union says: “Teamsters are asking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to support Facebook shuttle drivers’ desire to join \u003ca href=\"http://www.teamsters853.org/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teamsters Local 853\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342627\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10342627 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook-400x310.jpg\" alt=\"A Teamsters post on Facebook urging the company to support an organizing drive for shuttle drivers.\" width=\"400\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook-400x310.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook.jpg 569w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Teamsters’ post on Facebook urging the company to support an organizing drive for shuttle drivers.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The main issue for those who drive for Facebook and other tech firms is not pay — though at $20 an hour or so they’re hardly richly compensated — but the fact they have to work split shifts. That is, they drive workers to Silicon Valley from San Francisco, Berkeley and other locales, sit around for five or six hours during the day, then drive workers back home in the evening. The drivers are not paid for that downtime. Credit the San Francisco Chronicle with publicizing the shuttle drivers’ working conditions. In a\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/For-Google-shuttle-drivers-it-s-a-grueling-ride-5785556.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sunday feature \u003c/a>published Sept. 28, the paper gave a glimpse into the lives of workers who are required to work marathon hours for Google.

You add to that the fact that, especially in a Democratic district, it’s kind of a flat year for Democrats, and the big question in this race is who actually bothers to vote on Election Day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are few differences between the candidates on big issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda is by all accounts a team player, a progressive Democrat who has voted consistently to support the party, human rights and \u003ca href=\"http://honda.house.gov/meet-mike/my-accomplishments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal funding\u003c/a> for various projects in his home district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna is an intellectual property lawyer and former Commerce Department official during President Obama’s first term, who \u003ca href=\"http://atr.rollcall.com/democratic-challenger-spends-2-6-million-to-unseat-fellow-democrat/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spent millions\u003c/a> to introduce himself to the district before the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, the Khanna campaign has made much of leaked emails alleging Honda’s chief of staff blurred the lines between her official duties and her work on his re-election campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then we learned that the identity of the e-mail leaker is a former Honda aide.

The non-profit “embeds” coders, designers and other techies into governments around the country to help aging bureaucracies serve citizens better. Imagine if you could contest a parking ticket or check on a court date – as easily as you can buy a pair of shoes on your smart phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over coffee and cake, bleary-eyed but bushy tailed attendees evaluate the list of possible \u003ca href=\"https://cfasummit2014.pathable.com/meetings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breakout sessions\u003c/a>. There’s “Open Data on Your Budget;” and “Using Maps for Civic Dialogue” and “Geo-Centric Responsive Mobile Development.” For those who speak the language, this is scintillating stuff. Seriously!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molly McLeod of Oakland is a 2014 Code for America Fellow, which means she got $50-thousand dollars and expenses paid for a year to help a city rethink the way it uses its data. “I’m a designer and an artist,” McLeod says. “So I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003ccite>Molly McLeod, 2014 Code for America Fellow\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McLeod went to Long Beach to help it identify repeat callers to 911 who probably need some kind of intervention to keep them from careening from one crisis to the next. But like many fellows, McLeod has several projects bubbling along at any given time. She also helped develop a program in San Francisco that allows you to check your food stamp balance by \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/yViYA8IG36U?t=36s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text message\u003c/a>. “Which, you know, sounds like something that should already exist, but it doesn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially when, according to Pew, 91 percent of the adult population in the U.S. now owns some kind of \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/06/05/smartphone-ownership-2013/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cell phone\u003c/a>. For people who work with 21st century tech, it’s an easy leap – after a little bit of hard work – to take government data and repackage it so it’s accessible. No Excel spreadsheets. No blurry PDFs. No databases that give you the right answer only if you ask the right question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are the kinds of things that infuriate citizens, but they also demoralize some of the people working inside public agencies. 2012 Fellow Eddie Tejeda says many who work in government are just waiting for the chance to embrace a better way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of it has to do with being able to demonstrate results early,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10341837\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10341837\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Signs of brainstorming at the 2014 Code for America Summit in San Francisco.

Like many of the people at this summit, Tejeda shares a concept familiar to story tellers. “Show, don’t tell.” Demonstrate what’s possible, usually at reduced cost, and a lot of institutional resistance melts away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They get committed to an idea,” Tejeda explains.” “They become emotionally and intellectually invested to an idea, you can start thinking about long term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley-style, Tejeda and his colleagues took the interface they created for New Orleans and launched a company called \u003ca href=\"http://civicinsight.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CivicInsight\u003c/a> that maintains BlightStatus, and does similar work for other governments. He’s not alone. Companies big and small are at the summit to hawk products and schmooze … while also grooving on the heady atmosphere of idealistic, civic volunteerism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Pahlka founded Code for America four years ago. There are all sorts of programs that set up mid-career professionals share their skills for a good cause. Pahlka thought … why not help governments work better? Or as one urban designer from Washington DC tweeted this week, “I’m not in the business of solving a tech problem.

The non-profit “embeds” coders, designers and other techies into governments around the country to help aging bureaucracies serve citizens better. Imagine if you could contest a parking ticket or check on a court date – as easily as you can buy a pair of shoes on your smart phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over coffee and cake, bleary-eyed but bushy tailed attendees evaluate the list of possible \u003ca href=\"https://cfasummit2014.pathable.com/meetings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breakout sessions\u003c/a>. There’s “Open Data on Your Budget;” and “Using Maps for Civic Dialogue” and “Geo-Centric Responsive Mobile Development.” For those who speak the language, this is scintillating stuff. Seriously!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molly McLeod of Oakland is a 2014 Code for America Fellow, which means she got $50-thousand dollars and expenses paid for a year to help a city rethink the way it uses its data. “I’m a designer and an artist,” McLeod says. “So I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003ccite>Molly McLeod, 2014 Code for America Fellow\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McLeod went to Long Beach to help it identify repeat callers to 911 who probably need some kind of intervention to keep them from careening from one crisis to the next. But like many fellows, McLeod has several projects bubbling along at any given time. She also helped develop a program in San Francisco that allows you to check your food stamp balance by \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/yViYA8IG36U?t=36s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text message\u003c/a>. “Which, you know, sounds like something that should already exist, but it doesn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For people who work with 21st century tech, it’s an easy leap – after a little bit of hard work – to take government data and repackage it so it’s accessible. No Excel spreadsheets. No blurry PDFs. No databases that give you the right answer only if you ask the right question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are the kinds of things that infuriate citizens, but they also demoralize some of the people working inside public agencies. 2012 Fellow Eddie Tejeda says many who work in government are just waiting for the chance to embrace a better way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of it has to do with being able to demonstrate results early,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10341837\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10341837\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Signs of brainstorming at the 2014 Code for America Summit in San Francisco.

Like many of the people at this summit, Tejeda shares a concept familiar to story tellers. “Show, don’t tell.” Demonstrate what’s possible, usually at reduced cost, and a lot of institutional resistance melts away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They get committed to an idea,” Tejeda explains.” “They become emotionally and intellectually invested to an idea, you can start thinking about long term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley-style, Tejeda and his colleagues took the interface they created for New Orleans and launched a company called \u003ca href=\"http://civicinsight.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CivicInsight\u003c/a> that maintains BlightStatus, and does similar work for other governments. He’s not alone. Companies big and small are at the summit to hawk products and schmooze … while also grooving on the heady atmosphere of idealistic, civic volunteerism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Pahlka founded Code for America four years ago. There are all sorts of programs that set up mid-career professionals share their skills for a good cause. Pahlka thought … why not help governments work better?

(KNBC)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Without notice to the public, Los Angeles County law enforcement officials are preparing to widen what personal information they collect from on people they encounter by building a massive database of iris scans, fingerprints, mug shots, palm prints and, potentially, voice recordings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new database of personal information, dubbed a multimodal biometric identification system, would augment the county's existing database of fingerprint records and create the largest law enforcement repository outside of the FBI of so-called next-generation biometric identification, according to county sheriff’s department documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 15, the FBI announced that the Next Generation Identification System was fully operational. Now that the central infrastructure is in place, the next phase is for local jurisdictions across the country to update their own information-gathering systems to the FBI's standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the system is up and running in L.A., any law enforcement official working in the county, including the Los Angeles Police Department, would collect biometric information on people who are booked into county jails or by using mobile devices in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This would occur even when people are stopped for lesser offenses or pulled over for minor traffic violations, according to documents obtained by The Center for Investigative Reporting through a public records request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with the sheriff’s department, which operates the countywide system, said the biometric information would be retained indefinitely – regardless of whether the person in question is convicted of the crime for which he or she was arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system is expected to be fully operational in two or three years, according to the sheriff’s department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_148535\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 320px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-148535\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/labiometric1-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy demonstrates a mobile fingerprint reader.

Officials say biometric information would be retained indefinitely. (KNBC-TV)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of this is happening without hearings or public input, yet technology companies already are bidding to build the system, interviews and documents show. Officials would not disclose the expected cost of the project or which companies are bidding but said it would be a multimillion-dollar undertaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new system is being readied as the public has become increasingly concerned about privacy invasions by the government, corporations and Internet sources. Privacy advocates worry the public is losing any sense of control over the widespread collection of data on its purchases, travel habits, friendships, health, business transactions and personal communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, cities and counties across the country are facing renewed scrutiny for accepting the transfer of military technology from the Pentagon. The national biometric database is part of the transition of military-grade technologies and information-gathering strategies from the Pentagon to civilian law enforcement. During the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past decade, the U.S. military collected and stored biometric information on millions of civilians and militants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, President George W. Bush required the Defense, Homeland Security and Justice departments to establish common standards for collecting and sharing biometric information like iris scans and photos optimized for facial recognition. Law enforcement agencies have been testing mobile systems for documenting biometric information, including a facial recognition program uncovered in San Diego County last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities in California already collect DNA swabs from arrestees booked into county jails, a practice upheld last year by the U.S. Supreme Court and this year by a federal appeals court in California. Dozens of other states also collect DNA samples from arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department show its database will house information on up to 15 million subjects, giving the department a major stake in the Next Generation Identification program, a billion-dollar update to the FBI’s national fingerprint database and the largest information technology project in the history of the U.S. Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For privacy advocates, the development of the Los Angeles biometric system without any public oversight or debate and an indefinite data retention policy are causes for concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeramie Scott, national security counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said it’s critical for the public to be aware that this new technology is being rolled out, because the information held by law enforcement poses unique threats to privacy and anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Biometric data is something you cannot change if it is compromised,” Scott said. “There are privacy and civil liberties implications that come from law enforcement having multiple ways to identify someone without their consent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott, whose organization has sued the FBI to release information related to Next General Identification, added: “It becomes a one-sided debate when law enforcement alone is making that decision to use new technologies on the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamid Khan, an organizer with the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition who studies police surveillance, said the arrival of Next Generation Identification means Los Angeles is now a frontier in the battle for privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now our whole bodies are up for grabs,” Khan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The multimodal biometric system under development by the sheriff’s department will collect four out of the five “inputs” used by the Next Generation Identification program – fingerprints, mug shots, iris scans and palm prints. Voice recordings are the fifth input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The L.A. system is designed to transmit and receive data to and from the FBI and the California Department of Justice, which has its own biometric database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Originally announced in 2008, Next Generation Identification is being rolled out across the country this year after pilot projects were carried out in Michigan, Maryland, Texas, Maine and New Mexico. About 17 million facial records already were integrated into Next Generation Identification as of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, residents and city officials in Compton were outraged that Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials had experimented with a cutting-edge aerial surveillance tool known as wide-area surveillance without any prior public notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people do have a problem with the eye in the sky, the Big Brother, so in order to mitigate any of those kinds of complaints, we basically kept it pretty hush-hush,” sheriff’s Sgt. Douglas Iketani told CIR earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s Lt. Joshua Thai, who is in charge of implementing the county’s new biometric database, said the department currently is collecting only fingerprints and has used mobile devices since 2006 to check the fingerprints of people stopped on the street against the county’s records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thai said biometric information would be collected from people only when they are arrested and booked, but the mobile devices would be used to verify individuals’ identities in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It could be somebody gets pulled over for a traffic violation and he or she does not have a driver’s license on him or her, and the officer is just trying to identify this person,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thai said the goal of the project is to help law enforcement officers better identify the people they contact and avoid wrongful arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “What we’re hoping is that based on the mug shot is that that will compensate some of the biometrics to maybe better identify this person,” Thai said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s department declined to release information on which companies were already bidding to install the new system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to federal guidelines for the storage of biometric data in Next Generation Identification, information on an individual with a criminal record will be kept until that person is 99 years old. Information on a person without a criminal record will be purged when he or she turns 75.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI's guidelines for keeping biometric data on individuals, regardless of whether they have criminal records, “amounts to an indefinite retention period,” said Peter Bibring, a senior staff attorney with the Southern California ACLU. If the Next Generation Identification database simply were an update to the FBI’s existing fingerprint database, Bibring said the project wouldn't be problematic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, he said the biometric database “significantly expands the type of data law enforcement collects and creates a more invasive system” that may encourage police officers to make more stops in the field to gather photographs and biometric data for the new database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the collection and storage of biometric information creates challenges for the legal system and personal privacy – challenges that have not been adequately considered in the planning and implementation of Next Generation Identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bibring said the new database, if paired with facial recognition-enabled surveillance cameras, could drastically increase law enforcement's ability to track a person’s movements just as license-plate readers track vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government is creating an architecture that will make it easy to identify where people are and were,” Bibring said. “It threatens people's anonymity and ability to move about without being monitored.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said FBI documents obtained by the center make it clear that uncertainty lingers about who has access to the biometric data that will be stored in the new federal database, and he has doubts regarding the security of such information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of Southern California law enforcement agencies have been using mobile fingerprinting devices in the field for roughly a decade. Gang officers routinely submit fingerprints, mug shots and photographs of tattoos and unique scars of suspected gang members to the statewide CalGang database, which contains information on over 13o,000 individuals statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The national biometric database also has come under fire from privacy advocates and civil libertarians because it is being implemented without a thorough study of its impact on privacy – which is required by federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They need to do this before any pilot programs, of which they've done two for facial recognition and iris recognition,” Scott said. “They're not meeting their legal obligations, which is now being followed up by state and local authorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khan, of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, said such sensitive information in the hands of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department raises further questions about oversight and information security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we look at the multiple contractors and subcontractors and who will have access to this information,” he said, “the whole issue of identity theft comes to mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited by Robert Salladay and copy edited by Nikki Frick and Christine Lee.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story was produced by The Center for Investigative Reporting, an independent, nonprofit newsroom based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Officials say biometric information would be retained indefinitely. (KNBC-TV)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of this is happening without hearings or public input, yet technology companies already are bidding to build the system, interviews and documents show. Officials would not disclose the expected cost of the project or which companies are bidding but said it would be a multimillion-dollar undertaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new system is being readied as the public has become increasingly concerned about privacy invasions by the government, corporations and Internet sources. Privacy advocates worry the public is losing any sense of control over the widespread collection of data on its purchases, travel habits, friendships, health, business transactions and personal communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, cities and counties across the country are facing renewed scrutiny for accepting the transfer of military technology from the Pentagon. The national biometric database is part of the transition of military-grade technologies and information-gathering strategies from the Pentagon to civilian law enforcement. During the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past decade, the U.S. military collected and stored biometric information on millions of civilians and militants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, President George W. Bush required the Defense, Homeland Security and Justice departments to establish common standards for collecting and sharing biometric information like iris scans and photos optimized for facial recognition. Law enforcement agencies have been testing mobile systems for documenting biometric information, including a facial recognition program uncovered in San Diego County last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities in California already collect DNA swabs from arrestees booked into county jails, a practice upheld last year by the U.S. Supreme Court and this year by a federal appeals court in California. Dozens of other states also collect DNA samples from arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department show its database will house information on up to 15 million subjects, giving the department a major stake in the Next Generation Identification program, a billion-dollar update to the FBI’s national fingerprint database and the largest information technology project in the history of the U.S. Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For privacy advocates, the development of the Los Angeles biometric system without any public oversight or debate and an indefinite data retention policy are causes for concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeramie Scott, national security counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said it’s critical for the public to be aware that this new technology is being rolled out, because the information held by law enforcement poses unique threats to privacy and anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Biometric data is something you cannot change if it is compromised,” Scott said. “There are privacy and civil liberties implications that come from law enforcement having multiple ways to identify someone without their consent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott, whose organization has sued the FBI to release information related to Next General Identification, added: “It becomes a one-sided debate when law enforcement alone is making that decision to use new technologies on the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamid Khan, an organizer with the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition who studies police surveillance, said the arrival of Next Generation Identification means Los Angeles is now a frontier in the battle for privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now our whole bodies are up for grabs,” Khan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The multimodal biometric system under development by the sheriff’s department will collect four out of the five “inputs” used by the Next Generation Identification program – fingerprints, mug shots, iris scans and palm prints. Voice recordings are the fifth input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The L.A. system is designed to transmit and receive data to and from the FBI and the California Department of Justice, which has its own biometric database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Originally announced in 2008, Next Generation Identification is being rolled out across the country this year after pilot projects were carried out in Michigan, Maryland, Texas, Maine and New Mexico. About 17 million facial records already were integrated into Next Generation Identification as of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, residents and city officials in Compton were outraged that Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials had experimented with a cutting-edge aerial surveillance tool known as wide-area surveillance without any prior public notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people do have a problem with the eye in the sky, the Big Brother, so in order to mitigate any of those kinds of complaints, we basically kept it pretty hush-hush,” sheriff’s Sgt. Douglas Iketani told CIR earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s Lt. Joshua Thai, who is in charge of implementing the county’s new biometric database, said the department currently is collecting only fingerprints and has used mobile devices since 2006 to check the fingerprints of people stopped on the street against the county’s records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thai said biometric information would be collected from people only when they are arrested and booked, but the mobile devices would be used to verify individuals’ identities in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It could be somebody gets pulled over for a traffic violation and he or she does not have a driver’s license on him or her, and the officer is just trying to identify this person,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thai said the goal of the project is to help law enforcement officers better identify the people they contact and avoid wrongful arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “What we’re hoping is that based on the mug shot is that that will compensate some of the biometrics to maybe better identify this person,” Thai said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s department declined to release information on which companies were already bidding to install the new system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to federal guidelines for the storage of biometric data in Next Generation Identification, information on an individual with a criminal record will be kept until that person is 99 years old. Information on a person without a criminal record will be purged when he or she turns 75.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI's guidelines for keeping biometric data on individuals, regardless of whether they have criminal records, “amounts to an indefinite retention period,” said Peter Bibring, a senior staff attorney with the Southern California ACLU. If the Next Generation Identification database simply were an update to the FBI’s existing fingerprint database, Bibring said the project wouldn't be problematic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, he said the biometric database “significantly expands the type of data law enforcement collects and creates a more invasive system” that may encourage police officers to make more stops in the field to gather photographs and biometric data for the new database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the collection and storage of biometric information creates challenges for the legal system and personal privacy – challenges that have not been adequately considered in the planning and implementation of Next Generation Identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bibring said the new database, if paired with facial recognition-enabled surveillance cameras, could drastically increase law enforcement's ability to track a person’s movements just as license-plate readers track vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government is creating an architecture that will make it easy to identify where people are and were,” Bibring said. “It threatens people's anonymity and ability to move about without being monitored.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott, of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said FBI documents obtained by the center make it clear that uncertainty lingers about who has access to the biometric data that will be stored in the new federal database, and he has doubts regarding the security of such information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of Southern California law enforcement agencies have been using mobile fingerprinting devices in the field for roughly a decade. Gang officers routinely submit fingerprints, mug shots and photographs of tattoos and unique scars of suspected gang members to the statewide CalGang database, which contains information on over 13o,000 individuals statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The national biometric database also has come under fire from privacy advocates and civil libertarians because it is being implemented without a thorough study of its impact on privacy – which is required by federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They need to do this before any pilot programs, of which they've done two for facial recognition and iris recognition,” Scott said. “They're not meeting their legal obligations, which is now being followed up by state and local authorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khan, of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, said such sensitive information in the hands of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department raises further questions about oversight and information security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we look at the multiple contractors and subcontractors and who will have access to this information,” he said, “the whole issue of identity theft comes to mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited by Robert Salladay and copy edited by Nikki Frick and Christine Lee.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As one of the Kapor partners, Benjamin Jealous, put it, \"We're here to make sure that as Oakland becomes more tech, tech becomes more Oakland.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center will occupy a building at 22nd and Broadway that has been vacant for a decade. After a serious remodeling, it will become a three-story complex that is decidedly public-facing for a philanthropic and venture capital firm. There will be an event auditorium in the basement, a rooftop garden and a street-level cafe. \"We're here to make an investment in Oakland,\" said Freada Kapor Klein. \"We're here to strengthen the tech ecosystem and open our doors to anyone that wants to be a part of that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public access features of the building will commingle with \u003ca href=\"http://www.kaporcapital.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Kapor Capita\u003c/a>l, a seed stage investor; the Kapor Center for Social Impact, a nonprofit with the express mission of leveraging tech to attack social and economic injustice; and, lastly, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lpfi.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Level Playing Field Institute\u003c/a>, which is a pipeline program that facilitates the movement of resource-strapped youth into careers in tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know that on the other side of that bridge, there are startups trying to solve the problems of the rich,\" Jealous said. \"We aim to make sure that Oakland becomes the place that is the center of solving the problems for the rest of us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kapor Center does this by partnering with mission-aligned nonprofits like t\u003ca href=\"http://marcusfoster.org/\" target=\"_blank\">he Marcus Foster Education Fund\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.collegeaccessfoundation.org/\" target=\"_blank\">College Access Foundation of California\u003c/a>, and, full disclosure: Oakland Local. On the investment side, some Kapor-funded startups are expressly philanthropic or democratizing, while others are simply good business ideas that might not be as lucrative as big-buck ventures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Jean Quan has arguably had more success attracting this kind of social enterprise to Oakland than she has in reforming the civic institutions they supplement. \"Fifty years ago, on the March in Washington, [Martin Luther King, Jr.] talked about islands of poverty in oceans of prosperity,\" Quan said. \"I think what the Kapors are doing here is making sure that we have a full onslaught on the remaining islands of poverty, and that the dream really becomes the dream for every child, that's reachable and touchable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gold Rush dream of tech prosperity is certainly coming closer into reach from across the bay. But it sounds like the Kapor Center is less concerned with the dream and more concerned with making life livable, even for the non-prosperous. That way we don't have to dream. If tech can direct itself toward those aims, then maybe we won't feel disturbed when we see our home advertised as \"the new tech area\" on Craigslist.\u003c/p>\n\n",

On the investment side, some Kapor-funded startups are expressly philanthropic or democratizing, while others are simply good business ideas that might not be as lucrative as big-buck ventures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Jean Quan has arguably had more success attracting this kind of social enterprise to Oakland than she has in reforming the civic institutions they supplement. \"Fifty years ago, on the March in Washington, [Martin Luther King, Jr.] talked about islands of poverty in oceans of prosperity,\" Quan said. \"I think what the Kapors are doing here is making sure that we have a full onslaught on the remaining islands of poverty, and that the dream really becomes the dream for every child, that's reachable and touchable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gold Rush dream of tech prosperity is certainly coming closer into reach from across the bay. But it sounds like the Kapor Center is less concerned with the dream and more concerned with making life livable, even for the non-prosperous. That way we don't have to dream. If tech can direct itself toward those aims, then maybe we won't feel disturbed when we see our home advertised as \"the new tech area\" on Craigslist.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
