summary

This resolution calls on the Berkeley City Council to uphold strong police accountability, maintain pepper spray reporting, and ban tear gas, rejecting proposals that weaken these protections. It further urges the City to terminate its contract with the Flock Safety camera program and reject Flock drones, citing significant privacy concerns and risks to undocumented and immigrant communities. This action reaffirms the ASUC's commitment to the City's Sanctuary City status and aims to protect residents from policies that could disproportionately harm marginalized groups.
