Organize Against the 4,000 Flock Cameras in DFW

These AI Cameras log and store your license plate, face, any defining characteristics about your car. It's like having a warrantless police tail following you wherever you go

DFW has nearly 4,000 AI Cameras all running a very outdated version of Android (Android 7) with a myriad of known security vulnerabilities that are NOT going to be patched due to the OS being no longer supported by the developers of Android

That means this isn't just a problem for our civil liberties but also a matter of national security that the people in charge are too equal parts corrupt and incompetent to understand.

Contact your local city council members:

Dallas:

https://dallascityhall.com/government/Pages/city-council.aspx

Fort Worth:
https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/government/elected-officials

a script to follow:

"Hi, I'm calling about the 4,000 AI Flock cameras that have recently been installed in our community. These cameras log and store license plates, and vehicle details, creating a warrantless tracking system for every resident.

I'm calling to urge you to take action to end the cities contract with Flock and end this warrantless surveillance program.

Thank you."

edit: removed the bit about the operating system in the script.

Hopped back to Windows and every time I update this setting turns itself back on. I need to go back to Debian
