The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has initiated public records requests targeting California law enforcement, particularly the San Joaquin Sheriff's Office, to uncover the details surrounding their collaboration with Pen-Link and Cobwebs Technologies. After Pen-Link attempted to block transparency through legal action claiming trade secrets, EFF has taken the matter to court. Amidst a national conversation surrounding data privacy and technology policy, EFF aims to ensure that the public has access to significant contract information that could influence how technology is implemented in law enforcement.
As part of EFF's transparency mission, we sent public records requests to California law enforcement agencies... seeking information about law enforcement's use of technology sold.
The private company Pen-Link sued the San Joaquin Sheriff's Office to block the agency from disclosing to EFF the unredacted contracts between them, claiming the information is a trade secret.
State lawmakers are increasingly shaping the conversation on technology and innovation policy in the United States... that's why EFF fights for internet transparency.
We are going to court to make sure the public gets access to these records.
