Surveillance systems are popping up everywhere. And in Sherman Oaks, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, some people have big concerns about privately-owned license plate readers recording cars on public streets. “It could be turned bad very quickly,” said homeowner Paul Diamond. Diamond calls these cameras an invasion of his personal privacy. “It does tend to disquiet me that everyone will know everything about where everybody is at any one time,” he said. Security experts say these privacy concerns are legit. “Are they aware that their vehicles are being videotaped? And are they ok with that? And are they ok with essentially private citizens essentially reviewing that tape at will,” asked Steve Beaty, a professor of computer science at Metropolitan State University (MSU) Denver. Beaty says license plate readers have been around for years but up until recently only law enforcement had access to them. “I think what’s new is a lot of this technology is being private people’s hands and in private people’s purview,” he said. Private citizens like Robert Shontell who with a couple dozen of his neighbors bought these cameras and software from the company Flock Safety. While Shontell says these cameras gives him peace of mind, he does address his neighbor’s privacy concerns. “You don’t want somebody that does searches to see what time their neighbor came home last night. You don’t want that. We don’t want that,” he said. “So, what we did was pick three people who have access.” That’s three people that have access to video of every single vehicle that drives by one of the cameras. Robert and two other neighbors. Flock Safety says they built this technology not to create a surveillance state but rather crackdown on crime and they claim they have the numbers to prove it’s working. “We have these statistics like a 33% reduction or a 66% reduction in crime,” said Garrett Langley, Flock Safety CEO. “That’s not arrests that’s just crime not happening.” Langley says a camera and software cost about ,000 and that they’ve helped thousands of people since launching two years ago. “You fast forward to today we’ve got customers across 36 states including Hawaii,” he said. “And we make about five arrests an hour with our law enforcement partners.” Partners like the Redlands Police Department who had several Flock cameras donated to them by the public. “The license plate readers have been pivotal in several of our cases,” said Redlands Police Chief Travis Martinez. “We’ve caught vehicles that have fled armed robberies, Commercial nighttime window smash burglaries of restaurants.” Martinez says his department has made dozens of arrests since using Flock Safety cameras a few months ago. “It’s so great to be able to tell victims of crime that we do have a lead, we do have something that we can investigate,” he said. Martinez says all Flock video automatically deletes after 30 days. But for people like Diamond, however, the potential for misuse and abuse has a longer impact.“Authoritarianism in general,” he said about what scares him the most. “There’s a sense of it creeping over the country I’m not happy about.” 3165

A family in Chicago made medical decisions and then funeral arrangements for a man they thought was their brother — only to find the man was a stranger.Rosie Brooks told CNN affiliate WBBM she got a call on May 13 that her brother, Alfonso Bennett, was in the ICU at a local hospital. Brooks rushed to the hospital with her sister, Brenda Bennett-Johnson, to see her brother.“They had him on a ventilator and they had a tube in his mouth,” Brooks said.Brooks said her brother was rarely in touch with the rest of the family, so when he turned up in the hospital it was shocking, but it wasn’t a complete surprise.According to WBBM, the sisters told the nurses at the hospital that they couldn’t identify the man because he had been badly beaten, especially in the face."They kept saying, 'CPD identified this person as our brother," Brooks said.Bennett-Johnson said a nurse told her police identified their brother through mugshots and not fingerprints because of budget cuts."You don't identify a person through a mugshot, versus fingerprints. Fingerprints carry everything," she said.The sisters say the man responded to commands by raising his hand, but never opened his eyes.Eventually, the sisters signed papers to take the man off a ventilator and gave doctors permission to perform a tracheotomy. The man went into hospice and later died.The sisters purchased a casket, a suit and made funeral arrangements for the unknown man, thinking it was their brother.Then, they got a phone call from one of their other sisters."She called my sister Yolanda to say, 'It's a miracle! It's a miracle!,” Bennet-Johnson said. "She said ‘Brenda! Brenda! It's Alfonso! It's Alfonso! It's Alfonso.’ I said, 'You're kidding!' I almost had a heart attack."Their brother was alive and well."It's sad it happened like that,” Bennett-Johnson said. “If it was our brother and we had to go through that, that would have been a different thing. But we made all kinds of decisions on someone that wasn't our family."The sisters told WBBM that the man they had been caring for was later identified at the morgue by his fingerprints and police are now looking for his relatives.A spokesperson for the hospital says the family did positively identify the man.Police say they do not usually take fingerprints unless someone commits a crime or when they go to the morgue for identification. 2379

The land of the free gained almost 200 new members this week in Colorado, and to say they’re excited to become new US citizens is an understatement. “It’s been a lifelong dream to become a US citizen, and it just happened,” said Katrin Redford, a new US citizen originally from Germany. “I want to get a better life here,” said Samuel Rodriguez, who came to the US from MexicoShang Wu came to the US more than 40 years ago and is finally getting his citizenship. “It feels great. It’s honored and it’s the right thing to do for me,” he said. Their excitement is a reward after what can be a long, grueling process. Some people think it takes a little too long. “We’re seeing processing times that are published by US CIS online for the Denver field office in terms of 10 and half to 22 and a half months,” said Jennifer Kain-Rios. Kain-Rios is an immigration attorney. She says processing delays are a problem and it’s been getting worse. “Over the course of the past couple years, we have definitely seen naturalization applications taking much longer than they had in the past,” said Kain-Rios. The US Commission on Civil Rights recently discovered the same thing. “The report is intended to just bring attention to this issue. Our hope is that the US Commission on Civil Rights will be able share it with Congress and other stake holders to ensure that the issue can be addressed adequately,” said Alvina Earnhart US Commission on Civil Rights, Colorado Advisory Committee. Earnhart sits on the Commission’s Colorado Advisory Committee. She says the application processing delays are more than just an inconvenience. They’re affecting people’s rights. “When we held the hearing in February, one of the panelists pointed out if an individual did not submit an application by March of this year, that there was no chance that they would be able to participate in 2020 election,” said Earnhart. As for why there’s a backlog, there’s no simple answer. The commission’s report found a handful of possible reasons that include changing policies and inadequate resources. The USCIS says the problem is simply an increase in applications. “Processing times impact people in very real ways. I think the most significant concern for many people is a desire to be able to vote,” said Kain-Rios. That desire is so strong, people were registering to vote the second the citizenship ceremony was over. “It is very important to participate, in every country you know, not just here,” said Rodriguez. US Citizen and Immigration Services, which handles citizenship applications, says they’ve brought those long wait times down. “Well the average after this month, will be just under seven months and we do have some number of outlier applications that take longer, but one the average, we’re about seven months,” said Kristie Goldinger, the Colorado District Director with US Citizenship and Immigration Services. We confirmed the new processing times on USCIS's website. But, seven and a half months is still longer than the six months it’s supposed to take. And the high end of the range is still more than a year. And that extra time puts extra stress on the people going through the process. 3207

#MeToo is changing American culture and putting weight behind a call for change.The concept built to a movement in 2017 when the New York Times published major allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein. The movement gained steam as more women came forward.Dr. Stefanie K. Johnson is an associate professor of management at the University of Colorado Boulder. She studies workplace sexual harassment against women, among other things, and says #MeToo was a case of strength in numbers.“So the first accuser is always doubted and blamed right?” Johnson explains. “'What was she wearing? What did she do? She has a history of bad behavior.' But when the tenth accuser comes forward with the exact same story, you don't doubt."Johnson and her team started a workplace sexual harassment study in 2016 before the #MeToo movement caught on.The team asked women about their experiences in 2016 and followed up in 2018.They found women reported experiencing fewer sexually harassing encounters at work during those years when compared to earlier studies.The study also found that workplace sexual harassment had less of an impact on womens’ self-esteem and self-worth during that time.Johnson says it could be because the victims knew they weren’t alone."I think most women started to feel like, 'well this isn't really something about me’ or it's something about all women, right?” Johnson says.She adds, “If so many people are experiencing sexual harassment then it can't be something that I did. Unless we all as a gender are doing the same behaviors to deserve it."Despite progress, Johnson says there’s a long way to go.Her study found an increase in gender-based harassment during the study period.“(In) men and women who might have previously sexually harassed ... instead, they know 'I’m not supposed to sexually harass people, this is a big topic' but they're still engaging in the same negative treatment of women,” Johnson says.The #MeToo movement is shifting American culture in other ways, too.A third of workers say it made them change their behavior at work, according to a recent Associated Press poll. The movement is also sparking legal changes to things like non-disclosure agreements.Movement leaders say they aren’t done sparking change. They want to amend federal laws and create protections for victims who come forward. 2350
