SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco voters had several ballot measures to decide in the primary vote on March 5, including propositions to expand police powers and another that would screen people for drug use if they want to receive cash assistance from the city.

Voters rejected Proposition B, which would have funding for police staffing, but got labeled by some as the cop tax. This prop failed with 67% of voters saying no to the measure, as of the count late on Tuesday. ...

Proposition E was passed by San Francisco voters with 63% voting in favor, based on the total from late Tuesday.

Prop. E called for reducing reporting requirements when police use force, letting body camera footage replace written reports for certain kinds of incidents; allowing police to install surveillance cameras without oversight and using drones with facial recognition technology. It also called for letting police initiate car chases when they suspect someone has committed certain types of misdemeanors and also limiting some power of the Police Commission.

It was supported by Mayor London Breed and opposed by more left-leaning groups who feel these ideas repeal years of progressive reforms.

Voters also approved Proposition F by a margin of 63.02% to 36.98%, based on data from late Tuesday night.

Prop F, which Breed also supported, called for anyone seeking cash assistance from the city to get substance abuse treatment if they wanted to continue getting financial help. ...

Holy shlit. Over 60% of San Francisco has just voted to pass Propositions E and F.
Proposition E gives police more powers to fight crime, pursue suspects, and allows drones for catching criminals.
Proposition F will require single adults on city welfare to be screened for drug use.

Maybe there are a few sensible people left.

Only after they or a loved one got mugged did they see the light.

San Francisco voters who’ve grown tired of the crime, homelessness, and drug use plaguing their left-wing city overwhelmingly approved a pair of ballot measures on Tuesday that will expand police powers and require welfare recipients to be screened for drugs.

Proposition E, which authorizes police to use surveillance equipment — cameras, drones, and even facial-recognition technology — without prior permission from an oversight body, passed with 59,818 votes, or 59.9 percent. The proposition will also loosen restrictions on police chases and require that officers spend less time on paperwork and administrative duties.

Proposition F, which mandates that anyone receiving public-assistance benefits be screened for  a substance-abuse disorder, passed with 63,295 votes, or 63 percent.

So they don't want more cops, but do want more surveillance state. 

At least the got the drug testing right.
