Good morning, San Diego.

And so we wrap up June and begin the countdown to the July 4th holiday. Those of you who get that long weekend, please enjoy it for those of us who chose journalism.

Don’t miss our top story today on the enormous privacy concerns presented by automated license place readers, and what local government is doing about them.

While that’s been going on, hundreds of people turned out in El Cajon over the weekend to support immigrants, the San Diego International Airport is gearing up for a very busy travel period, an injured mountain lion has been rehabilitated and released, and of course, where to find fireworks shows around town this Independence Day — or where to avoid if you aren’t a fan of loud explosions.

Thoughts? Opinions? Let us know what you think by emailing news@timesofsandiego.com.
