A South California police department has been editing Lego heads onto suspects to protect their identity. AdvertisementA Southern California police department has found itself in trouble with Lego after it started editing the toy company's famous yellow heads onto criminal suspects. Screenshots show Lego faces edited onto suspects and posted to the Murrieta PD's Instagram page. The department may now have to turn to its stash of Barbie and Shrek faces, which also appear on the Instagram page, to protect suspects' anonymity. "Do they want people, who are being paid with their tax dollars, be paid to put Lego faces on people so it can be shown on social media?

While a number of AI systems have been found to discriminate, tipping the scales in favor of certain races, genders or incomes, there’s scant government oversight. Those bills, along with the over 400 AI-related bills being debated this year, were largely aimed at regulating smaller slices of AI. The use of AI to make consequential decisions — what the bills call “automated decision tools” — is pervasive but largely hidden. The AI was trained to assess new resumes by learning from past resumes — largely male applicants. Requirements to routinely test an AI system aren’t in most of the legislative proposals, nearly all of which still have a long road ahead.

Drake said the policy could put immigrant students at risk of criminal prosecution and then deportation for working while lacking legal status. That, in turn, would put the university system at risk of fines and criminal penalties for employing them, and pose a potential threat to grants and other funding. He said the university system will continue to explore its options. For years, students without legal immigration status have attended University of California schools while paying in-state tuition. “Our legal theory, which we presented to the regents in October 2022, makes clear: the University of California has the legal right to authorize the hiring of undocumented students today,” Arulanantham said.

[1/5] San Francisco drag queen Khmera Rouge performs onstage during the GAYPEC event hosted at Beaux Night Club in the Castro District of San Francisco, California, U.S., November 15, 2023. San Francisco is known for its large and politically active LGBTQ population, and its myriad gay bars, including the venue for Wednesday's event, Beaux. Most at the event, as it turned out, were not APEC delegates. Stephanie Wong and Khoa Tran, founders of San Francisco tech startup reverylab.com, said they came because they were curious -- and they thought it would offer networking opportunities. Mark Anthony Catalan, a university student and a volunteer at the APEC summit, said he was sceptical.

Circuit Court of Appeals threw out a 3-2 decision issued last year by the National Labor Relations Board, which had said Tesla couldn’t prohibit union attire. The court opinion noted that Tesla allowed workers to affix “any number or size” of pro-union stickers to company-issued clothing. “We may have concluded differently had Tesla prohibited union insignia," read the opinion issued Tuesday by a unanimous panel of three 5th Circuit judges. The opinion comes as the 5th Circuit prepares for arguments in another union-related matter involving Tesla, NLRB and the assembly plant in Fremont, California. But that order was vacated after the full 5th Circuit, currently with 16 full-time judges, voted to hear the matter.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — An eight-foot-tall bronze statue of a late Native American leader known for preserving cultural dances now stands surrounded by trees in a historic park outside of California's state Capitol building, replacing a statue of a Spanish missionary that protesters toppled it in 2020. “Finally, the California Indian people will have a monument here on the Capitol grounds for all those visiting to know that we are still here,” said Assemblymember James C. Ramos, the first Native American in the state Legislature. Newsom has also signed laws to promote the teaching of more Native American history in schools and to remove a derogatory slur from sites across the state. The new statue comes after racial justice protesters in 2020 tore down a decades-old statue of Junípero Serra, an 18th century Catholic priest and missionary who has been criticized for destroying Native American tribes and cultures. Montana also passed a law in 2019 to install a monument on state Capitol grounds to recognize the contributions of Native Americans.

☆ Urban golf courses are making housing more expensive and parks harder to access — and taxpayers are footing the bill

Many states subsidize golf courses with low property taxes, so non-golfers are footing the bill. David Madison/Getty ImagesUrban golf courses also cost taxpayers — even those who don't play — a lot of money. Proponents of retrofitting courses note that reducing the number of golf courses would help boost revenue for courses that do survive. "But then on the flip side, we have these public golf courses that are just these almost vacuous spaces that are quite underutilized." He noted that projects that just involve turning golf courses into parks are often most palatable to neighbors.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last week, to allege rampant racial harassment at Tesla's flagship Fremont, California assembly plant. The judge ordered the second trial to determine damages after Diaz turned down a lower payout of $15 million. Tesla and lawyers for Diaz did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Orrick barred both sides from presenting new evidence or testimony at the second trial, which took place in March. Diaz claimed that Tesla's lawyers violated that directive by questioning him and other witnesses about alleged altercations between Diaz and other workers, which had not come up at the first trial.

☆ California lawmakers send bill to governor that requires big businesses to provide a detailed account of their carbon emissions
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Catherine Clifford | In Catclifford | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

California lawmakers have sent a bill to Governor Newsom's desk that would require all large businesses in the state to provide a detailed accounting of their carbon emissions, including their Scope 3, or supply chain emissions. The bill, if adopted, would be the first of its kind in the nation to require carbon emissions reporting. Apple and Google , massive technology companies headquartered in California, support the move to require carbon accounting. Meanwhile, the California Chamber of Commerce opposes the bill, saying requiring emissions accounting will increase business operation costs for businesses and consumers. Also, Dickinson said that carbon accounting can be a helpful process for companies.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - California moved closer to becoming the first U.S. state to ban caste discrimination after a bill to outlaw the practise passed the California Assembly late on Monday. California's legislation targets the caste system in South Asian immigrant communities by adding caste to the list of categories protected under the state's anti-discrimination laws. Activists opposing caste discrimination say it is no different from other forms of discrimination like racism and hence should be outlawed. Earlier this year, Seattle became the first U.S. city to outlaw caste discrimination after a city council vote and Toronto's school board became the first in Canada to recognize that caste discrimination existed in the city's schools. The Dalit community is on the lowest rung of the Hindu caste system; members have been treated as "untouchables."

☆ Fact Check-California reproductive health bill does not legalize infanticide
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

The bill has since been misinterpreted due to language surrounding the phrase “perinatal death” in one of its sections (here). Perinatal death, by one of three definitions by the American Academy of Pediatrics published in May 2016, is the fetal death starting at gestation of 20 weeks and ending at infant death up to 28 days of age (see “Definitions” section on “perinatal death”) (here). BILL AMENDEDThe bill’s language on “perinatal death” was amended twice in assembly before reaching the state senate (see different versions of the bill) (here). BILL DOES NOT DECRIMINALIZE INFANTICIDELaw professors on reproductive health consulted by Reuters said the bill does not decriminalize infanticide and the amendment sought to limit misinterpretation of its language. A California reproductive health bill does not legalize infanticide or killing babies up to 28 days old.

☆ Lawmakers call on 8 states to pass wealth taxes to help pay for childcare, affordable housing, and ending homelessness
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-19 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Lawmakers and advocates are pushing to pass wealth taxes in eight states, after a federal plan failed to pass. The taxes would target both realized and unrealized capital gains, assets like stocks and bonds. "Funding our future means using the revenue generated from the Washington state wealth tax to expand access to affordable homes for working Washingtonians," Frame said. In California, a wealth tax on the unrealized capital gains of the top 0.1% would yield nearly $22 billion, according to California assembly member Alex Lee. Targeting capital gains and unrealized gains are not a new idea, but haven't been able to pick up the federal traction they need to be implemented across the country.

A group of Latino academics and civic leaders are insisting on the resignations of Latino members of the Los Angeles City Council after a recording of racist remarks was leaked, while outlining the need to ensure that the city's Hispanics are represented politically in a way that still strengthens race relations. "It is time to chart a principled path for the role an emerging Latino majority plays in our community." “The City of Los Angeles is overdue for institutional reform, especially reform that depoliticizes the redistricting process,” they said. The City Council is up for election on Nov. 8. In the letter, the group requested the opportunity to meet with City Council leaders.

As millions of Americans prepare to submit applications for student loan forgiveness through the Biden administration's new program, the residents of seven states could get a tax bill if they accept the loan cancellation. California is the largest state currently in line to tax student loan forgiveness. However, California legislators have promised to change the state's tax code to exempt student debt forgiveness from being taxed. In a statement to NBC News, a spokesperson for the Indiana Department of Revenue confirmed its residents will owe up to $323 for $10,000 in student loan forgiveness and $646 for $20,000 in student loan forgiveness. “Legislative leaders need to find a solution that treats student loan forgiveness the same way they handled the PPP loan forgiveness that many of them received,” Cooper said.
