Council Member Gale Brewer inquires about the possibility of including data from surveillance technologies in the Open Data platform. Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber acknowledges that while the POST Act requires descriptions of data retention and access, she hasn't studied the broader question of data storage and accessibility.
- Brewer suggests considering this for future implementation
- Strauber notes that the POST Act requires Impact and Use Policies (IUPs) to describe data retention and access
- The discussion highlights the potential for increased transparency through data sharing

But but I haven't studied the broader question of of where and how that data might be stored or accessed to the Something

to think about for the future, I think.
