Subject:
Surveillance Ordinance Suggestions
Dear Fellow Councilors:
Enclosed please find my suggested changes to the proposed surveillance ordinance. I am
hopeful that the Council as a body will empower me to work directly with City staff and the
ACLU to go through these changes, as well as other proposed changes that have already been or
have yet to be submitted, and organize the proposed ordinance and related discussions to help
future work on this issue be as efficient as possible.
Sincerely,

Chapter 12.22
Surveillance Technology Ordinance Section
12.22.010
Purpose
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for the regulation of Surveillance
Technology acquisition or use by the City of Cambridge, to safeguard the
right of individuals to privacy, to balance the public's right to privacy with
the need to promote and ensure safety and security, to provide protocols for
use of Surveillance Technology that include specific steps to mitigate
potential impacts on the civil rights and liberties of any communities or
groups including communities of color or other marginalized communities
in the City, to balance any decision to use Surveillance Technology with an
assessment of the costs and protection of privacy, civil liberties and civil
rights, to allow for informed public discussion before deploying
Surveillance Technology, to provide for transparency, oversight, and
accountability, and to minimize the risks posed by use of Surveillance
Technology in the City.
