Lawsuit over police surveillance deployment around Comic-Con
A lawsuit filed in December alleged that San Diego police improperly deployed smart streetlights and automated license-plate readers at Comic-Con and the San Diego Pride Parade without adequately disclosing their locations or the asserted emergency circumstances. The allegations concerned the conduct of the police department rather than an accusation of wrongdoing by Comic-Con International itself.
