Right balance between Public Safety and privacy, it is San Francisco and thats what im hoping for. Supervisor, given your statement, would you be against the requirement for cameras on the interior of clubs as well . I think that as a general blanket rule for all businesses i would be against that. We can have a conversation about whether or not clubs are unique or not where that requirement should be instituted, but the question for me is what is the data, what does it show . Where is the need . Im open to having that discussion but making a blanket rule that its not driven on facts is dangerous. So i would engage the police more in really knowing what the facts around that really are. Thank you. Berry, i know you have some very strong opinions on surveillance cameras. Would you like to share . I would love to share. In 2010 there was an attempt to make it a law to have night clubs have Security Cameras and our mayor made a very clear statement that that was not something that our cit
Entertainment at the Police Department. We want to be the engaged cops telling people have a good time. We are here for directions. We are not supposed to give recommendations but we all eat. Again, we all really really are here for you and i will stay for all the questions, but i want to reassure you again that the video cameras that are being asked by rich and i think he used the phrase that he had a 16yearold daughter in mind and that its up to you on how you protect your asset which i thought was metaphoric. [ laughter ]. You were paying attention. Yeah. East coast. Thats a hint. Im not leaving. Im around. If anybody has a question or concern about how anything goes. You can ask my office and i will get back to you personally and i wish everybody a super successful year until next year at the next summit. Thank you. [ applause ] i have to say that greg is one of the most approachable Police Chiefs that we have. I also have to say the restaurant is now opening one in dc and that it
Drain on our resources if they stayed open until 4 00. A. M. It a study was done in the norwegian studies and this determined there was more crime. You know in las vegas they stay open 24 hours a day and they found more drunk driving arrest at 6 00 in the morning. Its no second that we are going to be rereplenished. In the the next months there are a couple officers leaving the department. Its something that we are open to down the road. Thats the beauty, we sit down and craft conditions and we look at it from a communitys standpoint. At this point it wouldnt be favorable to the Police Department. Thank you very much. Does anyone else want to comment before i go on to the next question . Okay. Keeping in mind our dependence on media and the recent boston bombing and our reverence to privacy can you talk about cameras outside of buildings. I would like to start with supervisor campos. Thank you very much. I dont think that anyone disagrees that we want to do everything we can to make su
Instead of the city bearing the cost. I think the city should have cameras. There are places where that is useful. Having cameras near registers can save many dollars. If you believe your clientele is potentially violent on damaging in terms of graffiti cost, you can have many reasons to have cameras. If a business wants to install their cameras and use them, they should bear that cost. If footage exist that Law Enforcement wants access to, there is a process that allows the Law Enforcement access to that. So, if a business wants to install cameras, absolutely they should bear the cost, but having Law Enforcement require cameras, that cost should not be passed onto the business. I have very mixed feelings about cameras but i tend to lean to what berry is talking about. We seem to be karening willie and nilly to this camera side. We are crossing the line now between reasonable, Video Surveillance in public being a reasonable part of the policing or Police Action and you get into the unr
Infringement of the 4th amendment. Let me read you one of these conditions so you can see what im talking about. I have probably seen 20 of these in the last few years. If you have a conditional license and pretty much everybody does in San Francisco, you can petition the abc to give you a license and in that petition they have give you the conditions. But this one says the petitioner shall utilize electronic equipment to record inside and outside of the premises and must be kept for 30 days and made available for the Police Department. That is pretty big brother and i will tell you why. I think berry is right. If there is some reason to have that surveillance, it should be made available. If you dont want to give it up, then a judge can get it from you. However, my job is to save my clients money and do the right thing for my clients. I tell everyone of my clients get Video Surveillance because in the last couple of years i have seen one client save a quarter Million Dollars with an u
