Here's what's at stake:
- Privacy: Flock cameras read your license plate to track your movements and store the data for long periods of time, creating a detailed record of your location history.
- ICE Access: SFPD claims federal agencies like ICE don't have access to Flock data, but they've been repeatedly caught not upholding this promise.
- Officer Abuse: Data from Flock cameras has led to wrongful arrests, profiling, and stalking ex-partners by police officers.
- Limited Benefits: There's no substantial evidence that ALPRs effectively prevent crime, despite Flock's unethical attempts to prove otherwise.
So the billionaires feel entitled to surveil us? Well, we're flipping the script. We're going to watch them.
