For those of you opposed to the Flock cameras, Dr. Jon Padfield (who runs the privacy oriented Business Reform Youtube channel) will be in town giving a talk tomorrow evening.

Edit: Apparently I deleted the link to his site at some point: https://brushfirestour.com/

Dr. Padfield has been a privacy advocate for years and runs a youtube channel with extensive discussions of how to minimize being tracked. His latest video is an interview with someone who hacked a Flock camera. The video prior was a video on how to fool facial recognition. Here is another video he did on why Flock's story doesn't add up.

He's currently doing a speaking tour of the Western US and will be doing a talk at 6PM in the Marriott on 2300 Centre Ave SE, Abq (functionally the corner of Yale & Gibson).
