To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Recent media reports show San Francisco PD will have access to live surveillance cameras: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3656738-san-francisco-oks-surveillance-plan-allowing-police-to-access-private-cameras-in-real-time/

Therefore, I request the following:
1) All instructional materials, presentations and presentation materials (including recorded video and audio, PowerPoint files, prepared remarks, and slides formats), and other guidance on police use of private surveillance cameras. This includes A) any notes taking during meetings that discussed the use of these cameras, B) any explanations (whether internally or externally generated) of how this program works, and C) any other document that has been used to help explain the use of this program to any party, including internal documentation, public relations materials, and executive summaries.

3) Any digital communications including but not limited to emails and text messages) as well as documents, (including but not limited to PDF, word processing, excel, and slide documents) related to this legislation and its implementation.
This will be used in the course of reporting for Motherboard, VICE Media's science and tech site (www.motherboard.vice.com). Because of the time sensitive nature of this new law, I request expedited processing.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
