I'm being told that being watched by Flock protects me

but who protects me from the people at Flock?

Is there a system in place to monitor what data gets used, by whom, for what?

Do we know who is looking through those cameras? And why? And when?

"Don't commit a crime and you'll be fine" hasn't been true in any city with Flock cameras:

The people who control the cameras use them to do illegal things.

The companies selling the cameras are also selling your data and movement.

Stalkers have been using them to follow civilians.

"Trust me, we're good guys" is not a good reason to trust these cameras...

And a recent mayor's official stance was "that's all nonsense" when we approached him with our concerns.

This is big-money big-tech corporate takeover of our local law-enforcement.

Nothing more.

Fight Flock. It is not for your protection. It is for their profit, at your expense, in any way they can profit off your info. They don't do this for free.
