What about Motorola and Axon cameras? They all need to go, no exceptions.
Aren’t most of them funded by local governments anyway?
(And then when the city councils or residents vote to stop it, the cops leave them up anyway?)
federal bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock-style automated license plate reader cameras
This is so such local governments have other funding withdrawn until they get rid of the cameras, presumably
My local government had funds offered by a federal grant they didn’t apply for. A neighboring county had applied for the federal grant, received a ton of money, and was dishing it out to police across the region.
If it does get far enough to be introduced and to actual vote. I am guessing there will be a massive push by Flock to flood news outlets and lobbyists to how “successfully bad guys were caught” or otherwise “prevented.” Probably lock-in on any instance(s) involving children being protected/found. With any and all misleading stats downplaying the actual levels of spying on literally everyone not doing anything illegal (or that children are being scanned and added to those growing databases). And the fucked up cases of false positives that drag those people into court, job losses from being accused/arrested, and financial losses from the first two.
I actually saw some praise on Flock today on Facebook. Youre probably right
But what about the poor executives?!?!
/s
This will never be passed because most of the people benefitting from Flock are the ones who will vote on the bill.
You think politicians like that them and their family member’s every move is being tracked?
That puts them at risk
politicians like political donations.
They believe it will only be used against the plebs.
So let’s show them that their greatest enemies have access to this data, and that the only way to keep themselves safe is to not collect it at all
When the worst person you know has a good idea…
He’s actually had a few other good ideas. He put forth a bill to designate AIPAC as a foreign agency so they couldn’t lobby. This guy is better than all the other Republicans and at least half the dems.
One can hope
At the very least, it should require a warrant to access Flock data.
