Gov Brown's criticism basically comes down to this: "The bill is too broad in scope...". Which I believe you can interpret in one of two ways, either Brown thinks that the technical burden on the agencies to post their policies is to great, or he thinks that not all of these things should be public information. He goes on to say, "I appreciate the author's desire for additional transparency of police practices and other local law enforcement procedures, but I believe this goal can be accomplished with a more targeted and precise approach". The with this statement is that the bill was targeted to specific agencies and was very precise in its requirements, so why did he shoot it down? I think that he didn't have any technical issues with the actual logistics of enforcing the bill, as he never mentions any of this in his veto. He must simply not want a higher level of transparency for these agencies.
