"In May, EFF released a report showing that 71 law enforcement agencies in 22 California counties — including Sacramento County — were sharing such data. The practice is in violation of a 2015 law that states “a (California law enforcement) agency shall not sell, share, or transfer ALPR information, except to another (California law enforcement) agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law.”

The sheriff is a Democrat

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Sinema was a "Democrat". That bridge troll in NC that gave gop a supermajority was a "Democrat". Manchin is a "Democrat". Look at who they actually are and not their facade.

Cooper has also been described as a "crusader against criminal justice reform". Examples of this include his opposition to Proposition 47 and support for Proposition 20.
Cooper is opposed to fossil fuel divestment and played a key role in halting the progression of SB 1173, a bill that would have forced CalPERS and CalSTRS to divest from most fossil fuel holdings.*

And suddenly liberals care about privacy :)

[–] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

I may need a bit of a reminder when Republicans were the party of "privacy" since I'm fairly certain both parties aren't that great with it. Democrats may be at least more upfront about it but damn republicans love to say they "care about privacy to do ____" unless its falls out of their "values" then it not about privacy its about banning it and harassing those who dare go against their "Judeo Christian values"

Roe V. Wade was predicated on the constitutional right to privacy, ya dunce. The argument was always about privacy.

Edit to point out, apparently I hurt the feelings of 2 of those “Facts don’t care about your feelings” folks by pointing out facts. Melt snowflakes 🔥❄️🔥

If you're pro choice you shouldn't care anymore than someone plucking a tick at a state park.
