Under California law, police departments cannot share license plate data with federal authorities and other out-of-state agencies. But, that law has been routinely violated.  In 2024, the San Diego Police Department shared data with federal agencies 62 times, according to the department's annual surveillance report. SDPD stopped sharing data after state Attorney General Rob Bonta's office told the department it was likely violating state law.  Meanwhile advocates are voicing their concerns about privacy and surveillance, especially amid President Trump's mass deportation campaign.  Today on Midday Edition, we spoke with two reporters covering this investigation at a local and statewide level. Guests: Gustavo Solis, investigative border reporter, KPBS Khari Johnson, technology reporter, CalMatters

In California, music and winemaking seem to go together. Visit any of the state's countless wineries and you can hear all kinds of music, from jazz and folk, to classical and Americana. But one artist on the Central Coast takes that connection especially seriously: he spent years making an album full of sounds from a vineyard. Reporter Benjamin Purper takes us to San Luis Obispo to learn more about a sonic journey through a Central Coast wine harvest. And we'll meet one of California's most celebrated cheese-makers, Soyoung Scanlan. But years ago, before she'd ever really eaten cheese, Soyoung had another love. Growing up in South Korea, she trained in classical piano. So every cheese she's made over the last 25 years has a musical name and connection. For her series California Foodways, Lisa Morehouse visited the cheesemaker in the hills outside Petaluma. We end today with the story of Ron Peterson, a volunteer guide at the Tijuana River Estuary. After losing his sight, Ron now leads a very unique kind of tour. His story comes to us from KPBS in San Diego, as part of their series about volunteers, people who devote their time in unexpected ways. Learn more about your ad choices.

This weekend, Muslims around California will celebrate Eid al Fitr to mark the end of Ramadan. People observing the holy month have been fasting from dawn to dusk. And although fasting is a big part of Ramadan, so is the food people eat to break the fast each night. Small shops like Besan's International Market in San Bruno are key to observing Ramadan. Not only do they supply the ingredients for the holiday, they also connect people from all ethnicities who follow Islam. Lisa Morehouse and Leenah Bassouni spent time reporting at Besan's Market for the series California Foodways.   Then reporter Steven Cuevas takes us to Altadena. Tens of thousands of people evacuated the city during the Eaton Fire. But some people took a huge risk and never left, and tried to protect their homes and neighborhoods. They lived a totally different experience of the fire and its aftermath. Steven brings us this profile of two residents from opposite ends of Altadena, who made that choice to stay behind.   And finally we go to southeast San Diego, where for decades, a dusty grey wall sat at the top of Division Street. Right where it curves upwards, away from the freeway, and down into the mostly residential neighborhood of Paradise Hills. Three high school friends painted a mural here 30 years ago, and as KPBS's Kori Suzuki explains, they've reunited to bring it back to life. Learn more about your ad choices.
