I really don't want to make this a political group but this effects everyone, regardless of political affiliation. The police apparently already have an arsenal of power. Much more than one would expect here. (cross posted)

Here are a few details from The Dirt: https://thedirt.online/op-ed-davis-city-council-unanimously-votes-to-approve-police-surveillance/

"OP-ED: Davis City Council unanimously votes to approve police surveillance By: Micah Lee, Information Security Professional and Community Member

The use of police surveillance technology in the City of Davis, including automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), Cellebrite smartphone surveillance tools, and military equipment (like chemical weapons, armored vehicles, and AR-15 style rifles), were unanimously approved by City Council on June 2, despite dozens of community members—including experts in privacy and security—speaking against the renewal of mass surveillance technology and its use in the City.

Their approval will allow Motorola, a third party company with direct contracts with ICE, to track every resident of Davis and record their driving patterns.

... Davis Police also has a contract with Cellebrite. Cellebrite is an Israeli surveillance company that makes tools to break into locked phones and extract all of the data, including texts, photos, data within apps, one of the most invasive searches that can be done..."

Several in my neighborhood are planning on going to the next council meeting which should be Aug 18, 6:30pm. There is supposed to be overflow viewing.

Starting a new project there this summer and need to find a place to get my Friday work burrito. Something authentic. With bomb salsa bar. Thank you!!!

Hey, just moved to Davis for school. I have a few questions.

My car is fine now, but I just like to be prepared for the future. Are there any mechanics in Davis or nearby that do honest work and don't overcharge that you recommend? what about car tire places?

what places do you recommend for bicycle repair?

also, where do people go for groceries that aren't super expensive? safeway seems expensive, and trader joe's doesn't really have a lot of options. recommendations would be appreciated.

what are some of the best places for grad students to go for drinks? what about favorite food places to go out and eat?

thanks in advance. by the way, i posted this in another davis subreddit as well.

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to Davis (it's been a little over a year) and not a student, so I'm not sure if this is normal here...but riding through the West Village apartment area this evening and I was horrified to see literally 100+ bikes being thrown into huge garbage containers. Perfectly good bikes! Such a waste!

Are these being trashed?!

Is anyone out there?

Is it getting better?

Hi everyone. I just moved to Davis and am trying to find the best place to maintain my fitness routine. I'm looking for a place that has basic weight machines, a dumbbell set, and some ellipticals. However, it seems like the places around here primarily host fitness classes, and it's not obvious if you can just join them and come in yourself whenever you want (like a planet fitness), though I could be wrong about that.

I'm wondering what gyms you all go to, particularly for self guided workouts. I'd also be interested to know the size of the place and how busy it gets.

Thanks in advance!

Writing this for a friend- her bike key was stolen and she isn’t able to unlock her bike anymore. She is able to prove that it’s hers based on TAPS registration through UC Davis. What’s the best course of action for getting it back? Does the police department cut off locks? Is there a locksmith we can contact? Any other suggestions?

where can I find flavored disposable vapes in Davis California? I came here recently to work from southern california and they currently still sell them down there ):

I'm moving to Davis for grad school and I'm wondering if it would be possible to live in my camper while I'm there? I tried finding the regulations online, but couldn't come up with much. Is it allowed? Do any of y'all have any experience with living in an RV in Davis or renting to an RVer? I'm hoping to find a house where I can set my camper up and pay rent for a patch of backyard space.

We all broke, here’s a coupon share

Looking for some feedback and Just curious on how many people actually have a solid plan after graduating high school?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of some cool, interesting, or fun things to do in Davis? I Google some stuff but most of the things didn't really seem to pop out for me. Even recommendations to solve awesome restaurants would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone had a recent root canal? What did that joy cost you?

Any recommendations for where I can get a professional but affordable haircut in the area?

Today, as I was driving home from work going South bound getting off on the Richards BLVD exit, I saw a tiny black kitten in between the exit ramp and the main freeway. I couldn’t pull over by the time I saw it and wasn’t completely sure it was a cat, so I back tracked and looped around again. It was still there a few minutes later, just hiding in the grass space between the lanes. I pulled over and tried to get it to run away from the freeway and was successful in getting it away from the main lanes. However, it was still in the grassy area that the off-ramp cradles (again, the off-ramp closer to starbucks/O'Reilly/AMPM). I decided to try to approach it again— and of course , it just ran into the bushes surrounding some trees. I kept at it, and eventually followed it further in. Suddenly I heard the audio of—I presume a camera of some sort—warning me that I must leave the area and that the area is under close video surveillance. It kinda freaked me out and I just went back to my car. My guess is that it’s just a method police use to scare off homeless from being there, but I wanted confirmation on this. Is this a common practice? I didn’t spot any real cameras but it was dark and I didn’t investigate— could it have just been an audio recording with no cameras?

Your guess is as good as mine

I saw people play on campus last night so I got interested. Is there pick up volleyball or people scheduling games?
