"I call on Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen or California Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate and prosecute all municipal, state and federal parties who are in violation of SB 34 and SB 54. We have these laws for a reason, and no one should be above the law. These state laws were enacted to protect our privacy, and if our public officials cannot adhere to the laws, we must insist on immediately disabling all of these cameras being misused in violation of these laws. It is particularly unnerving that this information is being shared with federal agencies."
"As an advocate of animal rights, I am saddened by the suffering of our homeless and needy animals. I wonder if the shelter is overwhelmed and needs more help. The good people of San Jose and the surrounding areas can help by adopting or volunteering their time to help in this hour of need for animal well-being. The human community has a lot of power to change things for the better in our animal communities. Pets are an important part of our well-being, and we are to them. Hopefully, we can appreciate the value in our co-existence."
"If the city could be more creative with its empty land and lease it, it could put RVs there, charge a fee and really help with stability. The people who live there could elect one of their own to police the residents, so no expense there. I just know there's got to be a better way. I sleep in my car, which is against the law, but I'm a 67-year-old female on my own. I'm not going to get out of my car to sleep in the bushes so I can be legal. My life and safety come first."
Calls demand investigation and prosecution of municipal, state, and federal parties violating SB 34 and SB 54 for sharing license plate reader data, and immediate disabling of misused cameras. Concerns emphasize privacy protections and alarm about sharing information with federal agencies. Animal advocates urge community support for overwhelmed shelters through adoption and volunteering to reduce animal suffering and improve well-being. A homelessness solution proposes leasing empty land for RV residents, charging fees, and self-policing to provide stability. A 67-year-old car-sleeper emphasizes safety over illegal displacement and calls for more compassionate, practical options for people living in vehicles.
