Panelists said local organizing, public pressure and local privacy commissions (citing Oakland's rollback) have proven effective in rolling back surveillance projects and recommended coordination, procurement scrutiny and state/federal litigation as complementary strategies.

The Assembly passed a bill requiring search warrants for government access to most electronic device information, with specified emergency exceptions and annual reporting to the attorney general; supporters framed it as a privacy protection and opponents warned it could impede investigations in urgent crime scenes.

Public commenters asked the city to ensure Flock surveillance cameras are removed promptly after the contract cancellation, citing privacy concerns and uncertainty about whether existing cameras are still recording.
