"I sent the Harris campaign questions that voters deserve to know about
her record as a “top cop,” about apparent changes in her rhetoric and positions, and about what policies she would pursue if elected. At the
time of publication, her campaign hasn’t provided any answers, but
should that change, this story will be updated. Here are some of the
questions I asked, edited for clarity and concision:
1...
Why did your office work so hard to keep a man in prison after it was
clear that he didn’t commit the crime that put him there?
2...
In the future, if a federal prosecutor is found to violate a defendant’s rights, what consequences should he or she face?
3...
Did something cause you to change your position in the years after you published your book? If so, what? Do you still believe that cities
should pay to put more police officers on the street?
4...
What, if anything, did you do in response to that letter? And how does
that response reflect your position on how transparent the government
should be about the surveillance technologies that it uses?
5...
How would you answer critics who say that you did too little to police
the police, and if elected president, what approach would you take to
federal oversight of law enforcement?
6...
Do you favor or oppose laws that make it unlawful for journalists and activists to surreptitiously capture video and release it to the public?
How do you propose ensuring that such laws are enforced in an evenhanded manner?
7.As San Francisco’s district attorney, you prosecuted parents for their children’s habitual failure to attend school. Do you think district
attorneys nationwide should pursue similar policies or that the risks of
overly harsh enforcement are too high?"
