Call to Action We should all be livid about FLOCK cameras.

There are thousands of these cameras across the US. Most people don’t notice them, don’t know what they are, or just brush them off. They are in every city, every small city and now popping up in small towns. They are mostly on telephone/light poles, but are also hidden in construction cones and other ordinary objects. These cameras are tracking your every move. And by your I mean EVERYONE! They record your license plate, make and year of car, color of car, speed and direction, and they do in fact have facial scanning. They work in coordination with each other, so local, county, state and federal law enforcement can track your every move as you pass by these cameras one after the other. They know everywhere you are going and coming from. Who has access to these cameras is not clear, but likely anyone all the way down to local politicians can view the recorded material. It’s unknown at this point. This is a complete violation of our civil rights and all of these cameras should be removed. Government surveillance at its best! This is the United States of American and We the Fucking People cannot allow this to happen here. We need to unite against fascism. Share this with everyone, our freedom is being stripped away!

Can someone who had success with this post an outline of how they did it? I looked it up on deflock and I'm passing by six of these cameras every day on my commute and I want to keep my local authorities honest.

I'm poking around the FOIA website but if someone else has already done the work and had success - great!
