SCOOP: San Francisco and Oakland police appear to have repeatedly broken state law by sharing data from automated license plate cameras with federal law enforcement.
In one instance, OPD fulfilled a request related to an ICE case.
Happy to report that I’m joining the @sfstandard as a reporter once my internship ends.
However, to avoid familial disownment (dropping out of school), I’ll remain a part-time student at USC and split my weeks between LA and SF.
It’ll be a wild commute. But I’m stoked!
An orthopedic surgeon at USC tells me a photo on the suspected UnitedHealthcare shooter's X page shows the subject had a lumbar spinal fusion to treat degenerative disc disease.
I got into @USCAnnenberg! Exciting. Interviewing for full or half tuition merit scholarship too. Still waiting on my other schools, but stoked about this one.
A point worth driving home: Oakland cops say they didn't violate sanctuary laws by sharing ALPR data with feds.
That may well be true. But those aren't the only laws that govern the use of this data. SB 34 of 2015 prohibits sharing with feds regardless of the investigation.

A free grocery store opened in Bayview this afternoon, where low-income residents can fill their pantries without spending a penny.
The sticking point: It looks like a real grocery store. Nobody wants to wait in line for a food bank in a parking lot.
A small but growing sect of San Francisco’s homeless population is seeking shelter in hidden swaths of brush in Golden Gate Park. One man, who’s been homeless for just two weeks, said he’s too ashamed to sleep on the street. The park is his refuge.
SCOOP: USC is slashing a scholarship for students who earn elite scores on their high school PSAT exams.
National Merit Finalists now get a flat $20,000. That's a 43% reduction from this year's $34,952 (half tuition). Current students won't be affected.
ICE has a San Francisco problem.
A powerful new deportation strategy is working across the country — but it’s been stonewalled by judges here.
So this week, ICE turned to an even more novel tactic that circumvents the court altogether.
