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 federal judge on Tuesday blocked a Missouri law banning abortions after eight weeks from going into effect."The various sections specifying prohibitions on abortions at various weeks prior to viability cannot be allowed to go into effect on August 28, as scheduled," writes Judge Howard Sachs in an 11-page opinion.Tuesday's ruling comes after two other federal judges blocked similar abortion restrictions in Arkansas and Ohio earlier this summer, as the slew of state laws looking to challenge Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling legalizing abortion nationwide, make their way through the courts.The Missouri law in question would penalize medical professionals who perform abortions after eight weeks into a pregnancy -- before many women know that they are pregnant, and well before the 24-week viability standard established by Roe -- with up to 15 years in prison. The law does not include exceptions for instances of rape or incest, only for instances of "medical emergency," such to prevent a pregnant woman's death or "substantial and irreversible physical impairment."Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and Paul, Weiss -- the law firm that argued in support of legalizing same-sex marriage in a landmark Supreme Court case -- filed the case last month.The law would ban abortion outright should the Supreme Court overturn Roe. It also includes bans on abortion at 14, 18 and 20 weeks, which could go into effect if a court finds the eight-week ban invalid. 1502

A Chick-fil-A employee in Georgia is being credited with saving a boy from getting strangled after the mother reportedly begged for help in the drive thru of the fast food restaurant. Security camera video shows Logan Simmons jumped out of the drive thru window and into the distressed customer's car. He then pulled out a knife and cut the boy's seat belt. "You could see he was turning red and losing pigmentation in his face," Simmons told WSB-TV. "I just jumped out the window and ran straight down to the car."WSB reported that the boy received a call an hour later from the boy's mom thanking him for his actions. Simmons' mother was amazed with her son's quick thinking."I'm amazed he didn't panic," his mother Teri Simmons said. "As his mother, I would have panicked. I'd be running around going 'oh my gosh, what do we do?'" 845

Thousands, if not millions, of employees have suddenly found themselves without work this week as businesses are scaling back operations amid the spread of coronavirus. As states are ordering non-essential employees to stay away from their jobs, unemployment is skyrocketing nationally. For instance, in Ohio, the state went from 5,000 unemployment claims last week to 140,000 claims this week. But as some industries dwindle, others are in need of help. Here are a few: 7-Eleven Convenience store 7-Eleven said it is actively seeking to fill 20,000 positions amid a rush to clear store shelves. 7-Eleven said it expects to encounter a rush of orders through its mobile app, and are looking for store clerks to help fulfill delivery orders. "7-Eleven is a neighborhood store and it's our priority to serve the communities in which we operate during this unprecedented crisis," said 7-Eleven President and Chief Executive Officer Joe DePinto. "Between 7-Eleven, Inc. and our franchised business owners, we expect as many as 20,000 store employees to be hired in the coming months. This will provide job opportunities and ensure 7-Eleven stores remain clean and in-stock with the goods our customers need during this critical time." To apply with 7-Eleven, click 1276

San Francisco is expected to set a groundbreaking precedent on Tuesday by voting to become the first city in the country to ban police from using facial recognition. Part of the reason: concerns about accuracy. “With Caucasian faces, facial recognition is pretty good. It has a 90 to 95 percent accuracy rate,” explains Darrell West, director of the Center for Technology Innovation with the Brookings Institution. “But with minorities, sometimes the accuracy rate drops to 70 percent.”West also says that once a person’s image is in the database, there’s uncertainty surrounding what it could be used for. A Georgetown law study found 1 in 2 American adults is in a law enforcement face recognition network. Law enforcement has argued the technology helps solve crimes or improve investigations. Agencies across the country can use driver’s license photos or mug shots to match someone's identity. “All it's doing is using something that's readily available,” says Sheriff Bob Gualtieri with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department in Florida. But it's not just law enforcement using the technology. Stores, airports and some concert venues are all starting to work it into their operations. It's become so mainstream, Congress is now considering a bill to stop businesses from collecting facial recognition data on customers without their permission. “I think people find it very intrusive that you're just walking down the street or going into the store and somebody's recording your face and then attaching your identity to that image,” West says.If the bill in Congress passes, it would be the first federal law on facial recognition. 1656
