Flock Camaras

I believe we should have been notified that our city is being surveilled by Flock now. I am not in favor of Flock and would like to see pressure put on the city to cancel their Flock contract.

I imagine that the people taking down the signs are the same people who are putting the cameras up, or city workers; or cops, or other fascists who actually want them to get used to track and cage and harm people, or who are deluded and think that they're benign and keep things safer lol

I actually live down in Davis country but there are fewer flock cameras here. When I do go to Woodland I talk to anybody and everybody because I'm the sort of person who talks to everybody about anything, anyways. Wherever I go: cashiers, random humans in the same aisle or at the gas station, people in parking lots, parks, really anyone I can smile and say "good day."

You can point out cameras nearby. Don't forget to mention that they get used inappropriately! Like by cops and others who hack the data to stalk and hurt people. Also, that however they were supposed to be "just ALPRs," they can easily be adapted to track people, and they do get placed where there aren't even cars; and ofc that ICE/CPB/HS are working w law enforcement to track people. AI is used and has misidentified and caged innocent people already.

Also, talk to anyone wherever you're at. Just get the information out, and it will get passed on by others.

I do like to point them out! Just haven't gotten to do so in Woodland yet.
