"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

It is exactly the same as it was in 1967. And the surrounding neighborhood is one of the most historic neighborhoods in San Francisco.

At this very building, at the Doolan-Larson building, the first hippie boutique on Haight Street opened, Mnasidika. Mnasidika closed in 1968, but the space as it was is virtually unchanged. The storefront here was owned by a young woman named Peggy Caserta. She was 24 years old when she opened it.

The building that we’re standing next to, the Doolan-Larson building, is a city landmark. It’s on the National Register of Historic Places. It is exactly the same as it was in 1967. And the surrounding neighborhood is one of the most historic neighborhoods in San Francisco.

At this very building, at the Doolan-Larson building, the first hippie boutique on Haight Street opened, Mnasidika. Mnasidika closed in 1968, but the space as it was is virtually unchanged. The storefront here was owned by a young woman named Peggy Caserta. She was 24 years old when she opened it. The name refers to the first known lesbians in history and among her early friends and customers were members of an unknown band called The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin — who would become her lover until Janice’s death in 1970.

Most notable for the vivid costumes people wear (or lack of costume in some cases) and dividing the city in half (hence all the tweets about road closures and transit detours, but we’ll get to that), the race brings people to the city from far and wide. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AlaskaAir/status/994748269522706432\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.baytobreakers.com/history\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">its website\u003c/a>, the first race was held in 1912, and the event has been going strong ever since. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tens of thousands participate, but even if you aren’t running or watching, you’ll probably still stumble upon festivities related to the race if you’re in San Francisco, so plan accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SF_emergency/status/1128380083272421376\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race starts Sunday, May 19 at 8 a.m. with the finish line closing at 1 p.m., but unofficial celebrations can continue well after the route is broken down. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How many miles is Bay to Breakers? What’s the route?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AlaskaAir/status/997303292878249984\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting on Howard Street, almost to Embarcadero, the race goes through SoMa, up the infamous Hayes Hill, along the Panhandle and ends on the western edge of Golden Gate Park. There are multiple water stations and first aid areas set up along the route. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main route is 12 kilometers (about 7.45 miles), but there is an extra loop set up for people who want to do 15 kilometers (also known as 9.32 miles). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There will be closures\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City transit agencies have been trying to remind people to prepare for this.

Several other local governments require departments to disclose and seek approval for surveillance technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is really about saying: 'We can have security without being a security state. We can have good policing without being a police state.' And part of that is building trust with the community based on good community information, not on Big Brother technology,\" said Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who championed the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ban applies to San Francisco police and other municipal departments. It does not affect use of the technology by the federal government at airports and ports, nor does it limit personal or business use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco board did not spend time Tuesday debating the outright ban on facial recognition technology, focusing instead on the possible burdens placed on police, the transit system and other city agencies that need to maintain public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I worry about politicizing these decisions,\" said Supervisor Catherine Stefani, a former prosecutor who was the sole no vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a nonprofit think tank based in Washington, D.C., issued a statement chiding San Francisco for considering the facial recognition ban. It said advanced technology makes it cheaper and faster for police to find suspects and identify missing people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics were silly to compare surveillance usage in the United States with China, given that one country has strong constitutional protections and the other does not, said Daniel Castro, the foundation's vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In reality, San Francisco is more at risk of becoming Cuba than China_a ban on facial recognition will make it frozen in time with outdated technology,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how many San Francisco departments are using surveillance and for what purposes, said Peskin. There are valid reasons for license-plate readers, body cameras, and security cameras, he said, but the public should know how the tools are being used or if they are being abused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco's police department stopped testing face ID technology in 2017. A representative at Tuesday's board meeting said the department would need two to four additional employees to comply with the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates have squared off with public safety proponents at several heated hearings in San Francisco, a city teeming with tech innovation and the home of Twitter, Airbnb and Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who support the ban say the technology is flawed and a serious threat to civil liberties, especially in a city that cherishes public protest and privacy. They worry people will one day not be able to go to a mall, the park or a school without being identified and tracked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say police need all the help they can get, especially in a city with high-profile events and high rates of property crime. That people expect privacy in public space is unreasonable given the proliferation of cellphones and surveillance cameras, said Meredith Serra, a member of a resident public safety group Stop Crime SF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To me, the ordinance seems to be a costly additional layer of bureaucracy that really does nothing to improve the safety of our citizens,\" she said at a hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Oakland is considering similar legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is on track to become the first U.S. city to ban the use of facial recognition by police and other city agencies, reflecting a growing backlash against a technology that's creeping into airports, motor vehicle departments, stores, stadiums and home security cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government agencies around the U.S. have used the technology for more than a decade to scan databases for suspects and prevent identity fraud. But recent advances in artificial intelligence have created more sophisticated computer vision tools, making it easier for police to pinpoint a missing child or protester in a moving crowd or for retailers to analyze a shopper's facial expressions as they peruse store shelves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to restrict its use are getting pushback from law enforcement groups and the tech industry, though it's far from a united front. Microsoft, while opposed to an outright ban, has urged lawmakers to set limits on the technology, warning that leaving it unchecked could enable an oppressive dystopia reminiscent of George Orwell's novel \"1984.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Face recognition is one of those technologies that people get how creepy it is,\" said Alvaro Bedoya, who directs Georgetown University's Center on Privacy and Technology. \"It's not like cookies on a browser.

A bipartisan bill in the U.S. Senate would exempt police applications but set limits on businesses analyzing people's faces without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislation similar to San Francisco's is pending in Oakland, and on Thursday another proposed ban was introduced in Somerville, Massachusetts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bedoya said a ban in San Francisco, the \"most technologically advanced city in our country,\" would send a warning to other police departments thinking of trying out the imperfect technology.

Several other local governments require departments to disclose and seek approval for surveillance technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is really about saying: 'We can have security without being a security state. We can have good policing without being a police state.' And part of that is building trust with the community based on good community information, not on Big Brother technology,\" said Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who championed the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ban applies to San Francisco police and other municipal departments. It does not affect use of the technology by the federal government at airports and ports, nor does it limit personal or business use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco board did not spend time Tuesday debating the outright ban on facial recognition technology, focusing instead on the possible burdens placed on police, the transit system and other city agencies that need to maintain public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I worry about politicizing these decisions,\" said Supervisor Catherine Stefani, a former prosecutor who was the sole no vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a nonprofit think tank based in Washington, D.C., issued a statement chiding San Francisco for considering the facial recognition ban. It said advanced technology makes it cheaper and faster for police to find suspects and identify missing people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics were silly to compare surveillance usage in the United States with China, given that one country has strong constitutional protections and the other does not, said Daniel Castro, the foundation's vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In reality, San Francisco is more at risk of becoming Cuba than China_a ban on facial recognition will make it frozen in time with outdated technology,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how many San Francisco departments are using surveillance and for what purposes, said Peskin. There are valid reasons for license-plate readers, body cameras, and security cameras, he said, but the public should know how the tools are being used or if they are being abused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco's police department stopped testing face ID technology in 2017. A representative at Tuesday's board meeting said the department would need two to four additional employees to comply with the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates have squared off with public safety proponents at several heated hearings in San Francisco, a city teeming with tech innovation and the home of Twitter, Airbnb and Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who support the ban say the technology is flawed and a serious threat to civil liberties, especially in a city that cherishes public protest and privacy. They worry people will one day not be able to go to a mall, the park or a school without being identified and tracked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say police need all the help they can get, especially in a city with high-profile events and high rates of property crime. That people expect privacy in public space is unreasonable given the proliferation of cellphones and surveillance cameras, said Meredith Serra, a member of a resident public safety group Stop Crime SF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To me, the ordinance seems to be a costly additional layer of bureaucracy that really does nothing to improve the safety of our citizens,\" she said at a hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Oakland is considering similar legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is on track to become the first U.S. city to ban the use of facial recognition by police and other city agencies, reflecting a growing backlash against a technology that's creeping into airports, motor vehicle departments, stores, stadiums and home security cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government agencies around the U.S. have used the technology for more than a decade to scan databases for suspects and prevent identity fraud. But recent advances in artificial intelligence have created more sophisticated computer vision tools, making it easier for police to pinpoint a missing child or protester in a moving crowd or for retailers to analyze a shopper's facial expressions as they peruse store shelves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to restrict its use are getting pushback from law enforcement groups and the tech industry, though it's far from a united front. Microsoft, while opposed to an outright ban, has urged lawmakers to set limits on the technology, warning that leaving it unchecked could enable an oppressive dystopia reminiscent of George Orwell's novel \"1984.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Face recognition is one of those technologies that people get how creepy it is,\" said Alvaro Bedoya, who directs Georgetown University's Center on Privacy and Technology. \"It's not like cookies on a browser. There's something about this technology that really sets the hairs on the back of people's heads up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A bipartisan bill in the U.S. Senate would exempt police applications but set limits on businesses analyzing people's faces without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislation similar to San Francisco's is pending in Oakland, and on Thursday another proposed ban was introduced in Somerville, Massachusetts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bedoya said a ban in San Francisco, the \"most technologically advanced city in our country,\" would send a warning to other police departments thinking of trying out the imperfect technology.

Carmody obtained the police report from a confidential source and then sold the information to several news outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carmody said San Francisco police officers used a “sledgehammer” to attempt to break down the security gate in front of his door on Friday morning. The officers then searched his entire home with their guns pulled and put Carmody into handcuffs before transporting him to his office, which they also searched, he said. Carmody was detained for more than five hours before being released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/bryanccarmody/status/1127334380001619969\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a statement from the SFPD, the search warrant was executed as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the report’s release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The citizens and leaders of the city of San Francisco have demanded a complete and thorough investigation into this leak,” the SFPD said in a statement. “We are committed to maintaining the public’s trust, investigating any allegations of misconduct and holding those responsible for such acts accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carmody, known as a “stringer” who takes photos of news events and alerts news outlets to those events, provided KQED with a copy of the search warrant and the receipt of a list of electronics that were taken from his property by the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The warrant was signed by San Francisco Superior Court Judge Victor Hwang, who was elected in 2016. He previously served as a public defender, a prosecutor and a member of the San Francisco Police Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records show police seized an SFPD police report, flash drives, computers, cellphones, cameras and checks from TV stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11730451,news_11734850,news_11732158\" label=\"Public Defender Jeff Adachi's Death\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The raid has raised concern over freedom of the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was unlawful and frankly pretty outrageous,” said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Snyder, the raid violates the California Shield Law, which bars law enforcement from compelling journalists to give up confidential sources, even if the source gave the journalist information that was obtained illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somewhere along the line the judge either was not made aware that Carmody is a journalist or he decided to disregard that,” Snyder said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statement issued Sunday by the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists also condemned the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While there may be legitimate questions on the circumstances surrounding the reporting of Adachi’s death, the seizure of any journalist’s notes or other reporting materials sets a dangerous precedent,” the chapter’s Freedom of Information Committee said in a statement. The committee is seeking more information on the raid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Carmody, he is well known to the SFPD as a journalist. He said he has a valid SFPD press credential and used to work with the department’s director of strategic communications, David Stevenson, when Stevenson worked at KTVU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not news to [the SFPD] that I am a journalist,” Carmody said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that several weeks before the raid, he was contacted by San Francisco police officers and asked to give up his source voluntarily. He did not agree to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Carmody, the officers then asked him what he would do if a federal grand jury subpoenaed him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of our criminal justice and city hall leaders agree that the release of police reports in this fashion is wrong. I am pleased that Chief Scott and others are keeping their word and working to get to the bottom of it,” said Manohar “Mano” Raju, the appointed city public defender succeeding Adachi, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raju clarified that statement on Monday, adding “Nothing about this statement should be interpreted as condoning specific police tactics in this matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer said on Monday that she believes the warrants were justified because, as a stringer, Carmody only sells video footage and information to news organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if he met the threshold of a journalist because he doesn’t really write the report,” Fewer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fewer added that, according to a conversation she had Monday afternoon with SFPD Chief Scott, the judges who granted the search warrants were made aware of Carmody’s occupation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11728381/san-francisco-public-defender-jeff-adachi-dies-at-age-59\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">died \u003c/a>unexpectedly on Feb. 22 at age 59 in a North Beach apartment. A police report soon surfaced detailing the investigation into Adachi’s death, complete with photos of the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the city’s medical examiner report, Adachi died due to a combination of cocaine, alcohol and pre-existing heart problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official cause of death is “acute mixed drug toxicity with cocaine and ethanol, with hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease as a contributing factor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the medical examiner’s report, Adachi’s blood contained small amounts of cocaine and alcohol at levels consistent with Adachi having taken them some time on the day of his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The heart, with a significant amount of coronary artery disease and fibrosis already present, would have worked even harder with stimulant substances such as ethanol and cocaine in Mr. Adachi’s system,” the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11746538\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11746538\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/RS35635__M6A0528c-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/RS35635__M6A0528c-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/RS35635__M6A0528c-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/RS35635__M6A0528c-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/RS35635__M6A0528c-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/RS35635__M6A0528c-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor London Breed (Left) and Mutsuko Adachi (wife of Jeff Adachi, Right) mourn the loss of late Public Defender Jeff Adachi at City Hall in San Francisco on March 4, 2019. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The release of the information was painful for Adachi’s family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a hearing held in April to look into the leaking of the report, Adachi’s widow, Mutsuko Adachi, fighting back tears, said: “It was despicable what the police did to myself and my daughter … We had no privacy.
