The San Francisco police chief is urging Mayor Ed Lee to veto local legislation that would put restrictions on cops who work with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force , the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
That word comes in wake of local legislation passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that would require a written agreement between the FBI and the police department that would prevent S.F. cops from engaging in surveillance of people who were not suspected of crimes.
The paper reported that the mayor has said he will look to the police chief for guidance on whether to sign or veto the legislation. The paper said the mayor is likely to veto the bill unless major changes are made.
Police Chief Greg Suhr has said he will recommend a thumbs down for the legislation, the paper reported.
Currently, three cops work with the FBI task force.
