#FirstAmendment and #CopWatch advocates have condemned #Oakland #Police efforts to begin hiding their #radio communications with new #Encryption techniques which ends decades of public #transparency.
Well, the public access to cop communications continues, but now only because of #OPD technical trouble “working with a vendor” ...
Dozens of #LEO agencies had timed their scanners to go dark to the public throughout the #EastBay — the move by many scandal plagued regional #California #LawEnforcement agencies has been widely condemned by #OpenGov advocate groups.

The dreaded #CaliforniaCoastalCommission could hit #DalyCity resident #taxpayers with huge fines, but current denizens of this working class enclave object to being blamed for poor planning by bureaucratic buffoons in decades past, putting #toxic heavy metals and ammonia into ground water as well as the sea itself..

Despite WB association with a long history of top animated brands like #BugsBunny, Tom and Jerry, Hanna Barbera, DC Comics, not to mention homebrewed #AdultSwim and other creations, ever since reality TV channel #Discovery honcho David Zaslav stormed #TNT , #WB , #HBO #CartoonNetwork nearly all new #animation content has been going extinct on his embarrassing near miss of a streaming platform portal known as MAX.
Like a villain out of a cartoon, Zaslav has chaotically crushed his own corporate #ContentCreators, pulled the plug on the standalone Boomerang animation #streaming service; offed the #ATX based Rooster Teeth web animation platform and even yanked classic Daffy & Bugs based #LooneyTunes content off the menus.
While animated and children's content still pull ad revenue despite precipitous drops, competitors like #YouTube, #Netflix & Disney+ can attract around 40%+ shares of kid viewership, the youth targeted programming on the dismal MAX app attracts far less than 15% of the tween audience, and even lower amongst the kinder and preschool demographics, also losing the adults in the room.
While Ted Turner once noted in a speech that “On the average evening, more adults are tuned to the Cartoon Network than are tuned to #CNN.” Not to worry about that anymore my friends!
“Discovery came in, and it went downhill fast,” says Robert Alvarez, a retired animator who worked on popular #Cartoon Network shows from the mid-’90s until the Zaslav takeover.

#CalTrain deputy director Joseph Vincent Navarro found #guilty of misappropriation of $40k in public funds for conspiring with contractor during pandemic era and converting #Burlingame train station office into secret personal residential getaway with private gym.
Navarro, who now lives in Pennsylvania and previously told the #MercuryNews that his criminal charge was “overstated” and that he did nothing wrong. His co-conspirator #contractor had built himself similar living quarters inside the #Millbrae Cal #trainstation and plead #guilty, turning States #evidence against Navarro.
Navarro , whose attorneys claimed it was not a #secret , that he had given the key to his secretary, allowed his girlfriend to stay there, and the conversion was done with knowledge of his supervisor, still faces sentencing under judge's discretion which could range from actual #prison time, to more likely #probation.
