SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Tech giants say they will not sell facial recognition software to police departments, for now.It's a tool police departments have been using for years, helping solve everything from property crimes to cold cases and missing people. But there's little oversight over the technology, and critics say it puts our privacy and civil rights in jeopardy.While police often use the software to scan the mug shots of criminals, there's a good chance your photo is also in the system. A 2016 Georgetown Law report found one in two American adults are in a law enforcement face recognition network. In addition to mug shots, social media photos and surveillance videos, many states also allow searches of driver's licenses databases.Critics of the technology also point to inaccuracies in the software.In 2018, researchers at MIT and Stanford University examined three commercially released facial-analysis programs from major technology companies.The analysis showed an error rate of 0.8% for light-skinned men compared to 34.7% for dark-skinned women.Steve Beaty is a professor of computer science at MSU Denver. "It appears these programs have, what we call, biases in them. That they're biased towards certain skin tones, for example, and will make more mistakes with certain types of people than other types of people," said Beaty. He says the bias can occur when the machines are trained. "The computers I don't think have any inherent bias in themselves, but they can only learn from the data sets they're provided with," said Beaty.If a machine sees more photos of white males while being trained, it will be able to identify them more accurately. And while the technology has proven to be a useful-crime fighting tool, a case of mistaken identity can mean an innocent person ends up with police looking into their private lives unnecessarily."I think it's a good idea to take a step back and say what is it we as a society want from our facial recognition technology? That's exactly what Amazon has come out and said," said Beaty. This week, Amazon announced a one-year moratorium on police use of their facial recognition technology, Rekognition. The company is calling on lawmakers to put in place stronger regulations to govern the technology's ethical use.Microsoft also said it will not sell its software to police departments for now, while IBM is abandoning its facial recognition program altogether. "Let's talk about what it means, and have the conversation, and make sure that we as a society, as a country, are comfortable with what the technology is being used for," said Beaty. As companies reevaluate how police officers use their technology, the question remains if the public will do the same. 2737

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Major changes to the way people vote has election advocates on edge as Californians cast ballots in the Democratic presidential contest and other primary races. The “Super Tuesday” primary in the country's most populous state comes amid changes aimed at expanding voter participation, including new voting equipment and vote centers that are replacing polling places in some counties. Those changes may confuse some people. There are fears California might end up with a mess much worse than Iowa, where the Democratic Party couldn't declare a winner for several days. Advocates say voters are hanging onto their ballots, which will likely mean long lines Tuesday. 694

SAN DIEGO (KGTV/CNS) – San Diego City Council Monday passed a proposal that bans Styrofoam and single-use plastics in a 5-3 vote. In July, the City Council Rules Committee voted 3-2 in favor of prohibiting the use and sale of containers and other items made with Styrofoam.The measure, proposed by Councilman Chris Ward, prohibits the use and sale of egg cartons, food service containers, coolers, ice chests, pool or beach toys, mooring buoys and navigation markers made partially or completely of polystyrene foam, commonly called by the brand name Styrofoam.The city's Environmental Services Department must also provide a list of safe, affordable alternatives to polystyrene products should the ban go into effect.Polystyrene products don't degrade the way more natural products do, taking hundreds of years to break down. Because of this long life span, marine and terrestrial fauna can and do mistake polystyrene for food."Our growing reliance on disposable plastic to fuel our ‘culture of convenience' is not without cost. Globally, an average of eight million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean," said Roger Kube, a policy adviser with the 5 Gyres Institute, when Ward introduced the proposal in May. "Once there, sunlight and currents shred plastic debris into smaller particles called microplastics, which absorb and concentrate toxic chemicals up the marine food chain and into our bodies. From plankton to fish, and to humans that eat seafood, plastic pollution is changing the very chemistry of life."Opponents of the ban claim it will have a disproportionately negative effect on local restaurants who may not be able to afford more expensive alternatives to polystyrene containers the way larger chain restaurants can. A study by the California Restaurant Association, San Diego Chapter, found that the ban could force small food service businesses to spend up to 145 percent more for polystyrene alternatives like compostable paper."We're opposed to the ban because polystyrene is a recyclable product," said Chris Duggan, the San Diego chapter's director of local government affairs. Duggan compared polystyrene's potential for reuse to that of an empty pizza box or a used paper plate and noted that polystyrene can be and is recycled into things like crown molding.Restaurant owners in City Council District 4, represented by Myrtle Cole, pushed back on the proposal Friday when they delivered more than 50 letters opposing the ban to Cole's district office. Restaurant owners in District 4 claim that Cole has not met with them despite multiple requests to voice their concerns."The impacts of Styrofoam and single-use plastics are permanent and threaten the health of San Diegans, wildlife, and industries critical to our region," Ward's office said. "Passing this ordinance puts us in line with other California cities on the issue to secure a safe, sustainable future for our marine environment, our children and their families." 2977

SAN DIEGO (KGTV/CNS) - Opening statements were delivered Thursday in the civil trial between NFL quarterback Drew Brees and a La Jolla jeweler who allegedly sold the football pro and his wife diamonds far above their actual value.Brees took the stand to describe the close relationship he says he had with the store owner. "He always talked about it as being an investment," said Brees. "Something that you could see appreciate in value."The lawsuit, filed in San Diego Superior Court last year, accuses Vahid Moradi and his company, CJ Charles Jewelers, of selling Brees and his wife Brittany million worth of diamonds between 2012 to 2016. 653

SAN DIEGO (KGTV)—This May, 10News is celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by featuring several stories of the Asian-Pacific-Islander experience in San Diego.During World War II, nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the West Coast were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to desolate incarceration camps.One of those internment survivors lives in La Jolla today. She shared her story about a beloved city librarian who gave her hope, while she lived behind bars.It was a different time. No computers. No internet. Just the Dewey Decimal System. The San Diego Public Library was not a downtown skyscraper. At its helm was Miss Clara Estelle Breed. “She was here for 25 years,” Special Collections Librarian Rick Crawford said. “It’s the longest tenure for a librarian we’ve had here as a Head Librarian.”Crawford remembers a woman with a lifelong love of literature. She was instrumental in modernizing the city’s multiple branch system, he said. But perhaps her greatest legacy was borne from conflict. On December 7, 1941, Imperial Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor. The bombings and suicide attacks destroyed hundreds of American military ships and aircraft and killed more than 2,400 people on Oahu Island. “Life changed for not only me but everyone,” Elizabeth Kikuchi Yamada remembered. She was a 12-year-old San Diegan when the attack took place in Hawaii.Suddenly, everyone who looked like Elizabeth was deemed the enemy. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 forced anyone of Japanese ancestry, American citizens included, into incarceration camps. This was ordered in reaction to the Pearl Harbor attacks, with the intention of preventing espionage on American shores. “I was fearful,” Kikuchi said. The Kikuchi’s had one week to pack and report to Santa Fe Station in Downtown San Diego. There, the 12-year-old saw a familiar face.“Clara had given everyone postcards saying, ‘write to me,’” Kikuchi remembered. Breed was passing out hundreds of pre-stamped postcards and letter sets to children at the station, pleading with them to stay in touch.During this time, Breed was San Diego’s Children’s Librarian. Many of her visitors were Japanese American children; kids she cared for deeply.“She really fought resistance from the local community and of course the national opinion,” Crawford said. “I think she was very concerned about their future.”So the correspondence began, first from the converted horse stables at the Santa Anita Assembly Center. This was where more than 18,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans were first sent while their more permanent internment camps were being built. “Dear Miss Breed,” Kikuchi read her imperfect cursive. “How are you getting along? Now that school is started, I suppose you’re busy at the library.”In return, Breed always sent books and little trinkets to the dozens of children who wrote to her. This continued, even after the San Diego group was transferred to Poston Internment Camp in Arizona. There, Clara became their lifeline to the outside world. “I took the book “House for Elizabeth,” and it kept me from being lonesome,” Kikuchi said. Lonesome, staring at the desolate Arizona landscape. But that book gave Elizabeth a sense of belonging. “It’s like she read my mind. She knew I needed a house,” Kikuchi said, hugging the book. She never threw it away.Three years later, the war ended, and the Japanese Americans were released from the incarceration camps. In the following decades, Elizabeth and Clara Breed remained close friends. Before her death in 1994, Clara gave Elizabeth all of her saved letters and trinkets. They have since been donated as artifacts to the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Clara Breed was a lifelong Miss, who had no children of her own. But she touched the lives of many. They were the innocent Japanese American children who remember the brave woman who met wartime hysteria and xenophobia with love. This legacy, Kikuchi said, would live on forever. “Clara cared about helping young people know that there was freedom beyond imprisonment,” Kikuchi said. “Freedom of the mind to grow and freedom of the heart to deepen. She gave us all of that.”Years later, the FBI concluded that there was not a single instance of disloyalty or espionage committed by the nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans imprisoned in the ten internment camps across mainland United States. In fact, around 33,000 Japanese Americans served in the American military during WWII, while their families remained imprisoned. The Japanese internment camps are considered one of the most egregious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century. President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act in 1988 to give a formal apology for the atrocities. This legislation offered each living internment survivor ,000 in compensation. 4909
