San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Thursday a $9.4 million donation from a crypto billionaire to upgrade the police department's surveillance technology, including a new Real-Time Investigation Center (RTIC).
According to the mayor's office, the donation comes from Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple. With the money, the center will move from its current location at the Hall of Justice to a vacant office in the Financial District.
"It gives the team room to grow and ensures they're fully operational in a crisis. And it puts them right in the heart of downtown, where they can best serve every neighborhood across San Francisco," Lurie said at a press briefing Thursday morning.
Larsen said in a statement, "We are proud to help usher in a new era of accountability with the launch of an enhanced Real-Time Investigation Center for SFPD and law enforcement partners that matches San Francisco's reputation as the innovation capital of the world."
Also known as RTIC, the center brings together live data from drones, surveillance cameras and automated license plate readers, providing first responders with real-time information.
Lurie said the center has helped with more than 500 arrests and prevented numerous police pursuits since its launch in March 2024, including 32 arrests in the past week.
"This is the beginning of a new era of policing in San Francisco," said police chief Bill Scott, who is soon leaving the department to lead the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority police. "Our hard-working officers can continue to drive crime down by identifying and arresting offenders as quickly as possible."
I went in for my 6 month visit with my Dr. and we had a very interesting discussion today. They told me that if the Dr. you are seeing walks in with what looks like a cell phone and sets it down on the table next to you they are recording everything that is said in that visit to your chart for "Better patient care and safety" I asked them if this was being done and they said NO I won't do it calling it a HIPA and Dr. Patient privacy issue. They stated that when they asked what happens to this recording the powers that be stated that its erased after the visit at which point both of us went B.S. Supposedly the Dr. you are seeing is supposed to tell you up front that you are being recorded but everyone knows how that goes. If they do tell you and you do not consent then supposedly the Dr. can click the do not record button on your chart screen each time but there is no way for them to truly know that you are not actually being recorded. The Dr. that I saw is currently looking to ...
Tinfoil hat time.
Here is a theory of mine. We all know the govt lies or tells half truths regarding just about everything in this country.
What if these huge capital funds like Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street are buying up tens of thousands of houses so the housing market does not collapse? What if those dying and leaving houses are much higher than we are told? If a massive influx of houses hit the market, the market would start to drop to the point that some places could lose a huge percentage of value of their homes.
We know that most Americans are leveraged to the gills through their houses. For instance, if the house was purchased for 500k and now its valued at 1 million, they would have taken out a loan on the equity to either buy vehicles, another car, or a vacation. If the market lower the valuation of those houses, the banks will then take a hit on the loans they backed. Plus, new homes would not need to be built and the construction industry would also take a hit....
