BART board wants weak cop oversightBy Tim Redmond
Well, the good news is that the BART Board is actually considering civilian oversight for the police department. The bad news is, the committee looking at the issue is only recommending one model, a San Jose-style system that is much weaker than what San Francisco has.
There's a public meeting to discuss this tomorrow:
Second Public Forum on Civilian Police Oversight set for May 15
WHEN: Friday, May 15, 2009
TIME: 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
WHERE: Joseph P. Bort Metro Center Auditorium
101 - 8th Street in Oakland
(across from Lake Merritt BART Station)

San Francisco's OCC looks viable on paper but does not function effectively in practice, even with the enhancements we passed with Prop H in 2003.
You can't legislate a culture of collaboration at a police department, that has to flow from unified civilian leadership that demands it.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other.
