Today, San Diego Privacy publishes the report of its audit of the San Diego Police Department's proposed Surveillance Use Policy for the Ubicquia UbiHub "smart streetlights" acquisition.

Our team analyzed the department's proposed policies and compared them against standards for operation of video surveillance which have been developed by the Department of Homeland Security, and also separately by the Security Industry Association.

All of the standards we used for comparison are based on the globally recognized and implemented Fair Information Practice Principles, which are managed in the U.S. by the Federal Privacy Council.
