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.

‘Buzzkill' Examines the Crisis of Disappearing Honeybees and Other Pollinators  The Central Valley's almond industry is hosting what some beekeepers call the Super Bowl. Commercial beekeepers from across the country take an estimated 90% of the nation's honeybees and load them into trucks in time to make a narrow pollination window for those Central Valley almond trees. But it's gotten harder and harder to keep those bees alive.
