7:21 pm
is a lot of previous security cameras on the street i'm wondering if a let me know and a hook up to the police commission you don't know which car will fire a bullet but on the home at the corner of a block you can see what cars have left that area at a point i'm wondering if there's a way for the police and communities to speed up of linkage joanne walker i want to reiterate just the talents that very few of us have maybe because she knows how to meander without threatening people but i'll encourage her to encourage the department to open doors for this woman and let her establish again, a mid way they'll the 0

7:23 pm
the b rp process we haven't had time to vet the cops report our first take the assertion that are folded in the all the other reports we're not seeing that okay. let me give you two extremely glaring examples of where the cops report is a lot less substantial and - everybody is acknowledging that there is a tremendous audit problem with the san francisco police department and yet the cops report is calling to self-audit an inspector he general an different system you know the sfpd didn't have a good record of auditing itself not a good record at all the glaring difference he found in the quick announcement was the b rp had a
7:24 pm
very thorough investigation of racism in the racist cultural within ray marshall you know that was a central part of what he did nothing in the cops report going through that expiate for x training so we'll we're going to present that to you next week thank you. >> thank you is there any additional public comment on 3 a there d hearing none, sergeant, next item. >> >> item 4 discussion and possible action supporting vision zero and automated speed enforcement action. >> so we have nicole from walk sf coping up and chief anyone from the department here tonight on this no. >> come on this commission and
7:25 pm
the department under chief suhr early supporter of the city's vision zero approach to ending serious injuries and fatalities happening on our street by 2024 which is is big goal not only improvement but engineering all a across the city to save lives this commission as you may know from your quarterly update tracked the roll to make sure the driven policing for the 5 types of violations most likely to result in a collision all of that by the way, background we've been asked to create and pass a resolution to - we have a presentation a few weeks ago but confirmations want more time and edits to this to make it
7:26 pm
clear you'll have a couple of times this resolution is vertebral to the public as well as a report from the office of controller by automated speed enforcement i'll give that introduction and ask nicole to take it from there. >> i'm here on behalf of san francisco small business commission we've been working closely with the city of san francisco police commission and many commissions sfmta and the brokering to gather input and support for this important legislation what automated enforcement i'll provide a brief refresher what automated speed enforcement does we call safety cameras to take pictures of the license plates of directives who are speeding
7:27 pm
over the speed limit the exact number will be part of the legislation it probably between 6 to 8 miles over the speed limit a photo will be snapped of the license plate felt vehicle a citation will be issued not a civil or criminal offense but a civil offense no need to take a picture of the face not an opportunity for bias and another they know to note that the cameras will not be rolling 24/7 but only taking a picture when someone is speeding over the speed limit so they're not general surveillance cameras the way the legislation is written it is specific on how the information is shared it will be very you know currently the draft legislation has a lot of permissions for privacy this
7:28 pm
would be treat in the same thing with the red light violations they're not shared unless there is some sort of petition by the police department are another body to get that information so there they're very persist the biggest thing that is pretty much the most effective way to reduce speeding and really quick and easy to implement so we want to be able to implement that on streets there are no speeding related to traffic deaths in washington, d.c. they adopted automated speed enforcement over 10 years their traffic deaths dropped by 70 permeation we're looking at chief of police vision zero in the next 7 and a half years we've got a lot more work to do and use all the tools this is one of those tools so
7:29 pm
this resolution to urge or add the police department name to our list of supporter it requires state legislation to allow us to use this technology we have a long battle ahead but hope you'll lend our support and input nothing set in stone we're curious toe hear your input. >> thank you nicole the co-relation in this resolution studies show if a pedestrian is hit by a 40 mile-per-hour vehicle the pedestrian will be killed but 20 mile-per-hour 10 percent the pedestrian will be killed in chance i'm clear that you know probably many people know that speeding is incredibly dangerous to pedestrian on the streets so colleagues do you
7:30 pm
have questions for nicole on this resolution again, we're not adopting the technology it is showing as part of our vision zero that will help keep people save in the city and it will ultimately be up to sacramento commissioner dejesus. >> i understand the whole concept and some of the privacy concerns it is also what is underused if they're not able to sell that information that is important i assume that will be taken care of in the legislation one of the thing is points out is revenue that a lot of cities tends to eye 24 as revenue every 5 miles on the freeway another dmaerm is a fine you get 10 fines and used to generate revenue that's a concern because we see in ferguson that is one of the things that the
7:31 pm
police department did to the people citizens thought that town therapy forever in debt to the city court so that's a concern i don't know from the legislation - but need to know the perimeters of that. >> we thought through that i can address that we we are hoping to which kind of not legislation that is a certain time limit within that time limit. >> can't get more than one violation that didn't happen and the next thing we're working on the citations are issued similar to the parking ticket and mta as part that have they have a certification program if you can't afford it you can do community service in lui of that we're factoring that into our program in san francisco i don't know if that is spelled out in the legislation by part of the implementation in san francisco
7:32 pm
because this legislation could potentially include other cities that might not have that ability but that's definitely things we considered and definitely don't want that to disproportionately impact our protecting communities to create future or larger crimes out of certificatiocitation because our protecting folks suffer disproportionate. >> further questions for nicole before we get to public comment. >> i'm sorry commissioner wong. >> how do you select the sites for the camera. >> the dpw and others are foufrth the methodology but we want to make sure that they are on high injury corresponds so the 12 percent of streets that
7:33 pm
accountability for offering 70 percent of accidents we're trying to fourth how to integrate an equity component for instance, in the tenderloin protecting communities most of the people that are hit are not driving by in the bayview or mission that might look different to make sure we are equitablely implementing the camera is one of the questions we're you think ravel so we're - we're promising a community process before implementation and there will be approval and community engagement through that process and also awareness so before any cameras turn on and get placed people will be wonder and there will be a warning period so people know
7:34 pm
they're coming we don't want this to be a revenue janitor but not generate revenue if you guys have ideas please let us know. >> my last question all over the city or targeted areas. >> target areas well, we don't have a set number of cameras wear proposing at this point but the areas where speed is related to injure so you wouldn't see it for instance, on a slow residential street you might see it in school zones we have reflexes of crashes or history of crashes so it all depends on we're definitely not take into account one district over another over and over things like that. >> questions for nicole nicole thank you thank you for all your hard work and all your
7:35 pm
requesters years of partnering you factor into those things around equity and protecting kids and seniors i know you take it personal and doing everything we can in partnership with other folks bicyclist coalitions to keep your streets safe we'll go ahead and do public comment mr. gil gilbert. >> is there a possibility we can cross-file that camera work with stolen vehicles will that file be available to those cameras that are taking photos of 6 miles per hour speeding auctions get cross-checked with stolen vehicle files? will it help?
7:36 pm
>> is there any additional public comment? >> before we take a vote it is on this item ms. brown do you want to provide a brief response? >> we have thought about how you know could this data be used for other things and given the privacy concerns it is likely it wouldn't be used because we want to keep this information confidential but all of that is sort of occult we're consulting with the aclu and keep you posted. >> thank you all right. is there any additional public comment on this hearing none, so i'll ask
7:37 pm

7:39 pm

7:40 pm
unrest release the video across the country twenty-four hours is good it gives the ois to review it and gets the citizens involved and instead of having lengthy drone out investigations people need to see that and crisis intervention team needs to be a mid way 3 young gals were here at the platform and talking one says the uniforms is for the approachable and another one where's the 21st century policies and another one a policeman is not - a gunless policeman will have a natural-born deesclation to back
