1. The BART board of directors plans to vote on a proposal that the agency only kill cellphone service in “extraordinary” circumstances, the CoCo Times reports. Examples include when BART has evidence that cellphones are to be used to detonate explosives or in hostage situations. The new policy, as a result, effectively repudiates BART’s decision to shutdown cell service in August in order to disrupt a protest. That cellphone shutdown prompted even more protests and drew intense criticism. Under the proposed policy, the agency would not kill cellphones in such circumstances.
