This would had probably saved those kids in #Oakland who died in a burning Cybertruck.

Yeah, they were drunk and stupid, but didn't deserve to die.

The backlash against Flocks cameras which are being weaponized for maga and miller is starting. The City of Los Altos Hills has stopped using theirs and the whole County of Santa Clara is trying to hit pause until they get answers #surveillance #governmentsurveillance #cameras #Flock #FlockSafety #ICE #NoIce

Santa Clara County may ditch camera vendor amid privacy issues

Cities across Silicon Valley may be on the cusp of cutting ties with a surveillance company linked to local police departments’ cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

@cvvhrn someone tell it to #Oakland. We get "Melania"-level produced videos with "minorities" telling us we must have Flock cameras or else.

#Oakland is as full of MAHA Anti-Vaxxer 🍑🤡s as the rest of the country.

Oakland schools on state vaccination watch list

California is auditing 34 Oakland schools, and 428 schools statewide, over low vaccination rates. At one school, two-thirds weren't fully vaccinated.

Lieutenant Timothy Dolan, a 26-year veteran who leads the traffic unit and serves as vice president of the OPOA police union, was paid $493,247 in overtime in 2024. Combined with his salary and other pay, this netted him a $711,000 paycheck, making him OPD’s highest-paid employee — a title he’s held for several years now. His pay was almost double that of the chief of police and nearly three times the mayor’s paycheck. His total compensation, including pension and healthcare benefits, was $879,000.

In Dolan’s case, he earned at least $100,000 in overtime — and possibly far more — solely by reviewing paperwork for traffic collisions, records reveal.
The paperwork for Dolan’s overtime also reveals that OPD failed to document almost half of the overtime hours he worked, making it impossible to determine what he was doing much of the time.

Dolan spent over 800 hours of overtime in 2024 reviewing collision reports — the equivalent of about five months of work in a normal full-time job. This was particularly expensive for the city because Dolan, due to his rank, is near the top of OPD’s salary scale. Spreading out the work among other officers during normal shift times could have been cheaper.

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did

One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?
