<br />Flores, Dora <br />From:Katie Dillard <ukimwikatie@yahoo.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, April <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Please read aloud, Public Comment: Vote no on amendments to AB 645 that increase <br />automated survelliance systems <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />I am writing today because I have been made aware that it it sthe intention of Councilmember <br />Bacerra's reuqest to amend AB 645 to add automated surveillance systems to the survillance network <br />in the city and throughout Orange County. I vehemently say that the community does not want these <br />cameras and ask you to vote no on this addition. These cameras and the networks that support them <br />are not secure and create more safety and liability issues for the community and you as a council <br />than any benefit they may have for survelliance. The face validity of their use isn't even there as just <br />having videos doesn't improve public safety. Please use any additional funds for safety services to <br />increase services to people living in poverty or enhancing community safety patrols focused on watch <br />dogging aggressive use of force inappropriately by current safety workers. Use any funding saved to <br />provdie enhanced training to current safety staff around mental health deescalation or community <br />focused relationship and engagement support. Anything that is evidence based and science backed <br />for actually creating increased safety in our OC community but not increased camera survelliance <br />that's only benefit is to line the pockets of the system developers, further remove hyperlocal safety <br />efforts AND decrease support from real, trained human beings needed in our community. <br /> <br />thank you, <br />concerned oc resident <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
