With the issue of <br /> privacy and surveillance in the news in recent years,this research aims to gauge voter sentiments <br /> toward these issues in California specifically and help inform local elected officials in Sacramento <br /> about the public's desire to reform how law enforcement tracks and observes the online actions <br /> of California residents. <br /> We provide below a summary of the key findings from the survey. <br /> Police Access to Digital Surveillance <br /> Voters in California broadly support a myriad of reforms to ensure their online <br /> communications and activities are not tracked by law enforcement without a warrant. When it <br /> comes to accessing e-mail and internet activity, more than four out of five voters (82 percent) <br /> support requiring a warrant prior to authorities gaining access. Similarly, nearly four out of five <br /> voters(79 percent)support this requirement for allowing cell phone access and 77 percent for <br /> text messaging records. <br /> The table below shows the statewide results among likely voters. <br /> Support for Requiring Police to Get a Warrant to Monitor Online Activity and Communications <br /> OpposeHere are some suggested proposals to improve transparency and accountability for police use of <br /> surveillance technology.Please indicate whether you support or oppose each proposal. <br /> Support <br /> •. <br /> Require police officers to get a warrant before they can access 82% 12% 6% +71 <br /> your internet use and what you do online. <br /> Require police officers to get a warrant before they can access <br /> 82% 10% 8% ' +72 <br /> your e-mail. <br /> Require police officers to get a warrant before they track your cell 79% 12% 10% +67 <br /> phone and what you do on it. <br /> Require police officers to get a warrant before they can access 77% 14% 9% +63 <br /> your text messages. <br /> 182 Second Street,Suite 400•San Francisco,CA 94105•(415)874-7441 <br /> 2016-2017 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 27 <br />
