Flock Cameras in Pleasanton?

Anyone have any information on Pleasanton's Flock camera situation? Are there any organized efforts to remove them or rescind whatever contract might be in effect?

Is this simply shutter drag?

This looks like shutter drag, but having trouble visualizing exactly how this is done in Camera. Looks like it's just on one side, but is this done with zoom

Land Acknowledgments

I've found some instances of these to be performative, lacking in sincerity, and incapable of effecting any sort of action. The one they run before every single screening at Elmwood's Rialto Cinema is an example.

This article provides an interesting perspective that takes it a level deeper.

Idora Park - Oakland History

Just saw a video clip about this and had never heard about it! Very interesting.

From Wikipedia: “Idora Park was a 17.5-acre (71,000 m2)Victorian era trolley park in north Oakland, California constructed in 1904 on the site of an informal park setting called Ayala Park on the north banks of Temescal Creek.[1] It was leased by the Ingersoll Pleasure and Amusement Park Company that ran several Eastern pleasure parks. What began as a pleasure ground in a rural setting for Sunday picnics evolved into a complete amusement park visited by many residents of the San Francisco Bay Area. Its popularity declined after the advent of the automobile, and it was closed and demolished in 1929.”
