Wow.
will allow police to monitor footage from private cameras across the city with the camera owners’ consent
and then
The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) will not have continuous access to the cameras but will be able to tap into the network under certain conditions, such as during the investigation of crimes including misdemeanors and property crimes. The SFPD will also be able to access private camera footage during large-scale public events such as protests, even if there is no suspicion that a crime has taken place.
you can imagine that the second condition will override the first one, if classified as an event of national security/concern.
