Narrative:
Crj departed runway 28L on SFO8. Sfo 281 degree radial to normm intersection. Aircraft changed to departure control. MD80 departed runway 28L on SFO8. While departing MD80; I observed CRJ7 turn right; then begin turn back towards 281 degree radial. MD80 stopped at 3000 ft; until sighting CRJ7 on top of overcast. Visual separation applied. During the 8 hour shift; 3 aircraft turned right when departing runway 28L on SFO8. This happens occasionally not usually conflicting with traffic.
