City Council is rushing to pass rules that authorize "automated video analytics systems" for the 76 live-streaming surveillance cameras they already approved the County to install, all w/o prior public hearings or transparency w/ rules they don't even follow themselves. ❗️Show up Tues, 5:30pm.

Federal Judge Rules a Flock Search Was ‘Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance’ and Unconstitutional
Flock’s nationwide network is quickly “approaching dragnet-type law enforcement practice” and the cop should have got a warrant, the judge wrote.

🚨 "If #Flock appears before the subcommittee, the senators who might be grilling Flock on its practices are the same ones who are putting support behind a bill that would expand, entrench, and federalize the worst of those practices." 📄 footnote4a.org/blog/corca-h... #deflock #surveillance #corca

CORCA — The Federal Bill to Expand Flock
Six of the eleven senators set to grill Flock's CEO on September 23 are cosponsoring a bill that would fund more surveillance and put a new ICE-led intelligence center in charge of sharing it.

#Surveillance for thee, but not for me! 🤔 "They are not opposing #Flock cameras being used on you. They are not opposed to you being watched or surveilled all the time. They simply don't want that same tool that they are using on you on a regular basis, turned back on themselves." #deflock #alpr

Que el portal de transparencia no te engañe. 🛑 Los portales de Flock suelen son simples paneles de relaciones públicas y no una supervisión real. Disfrazan la cruda realidad de una vigilancia masiva con AI poco fiable y el intercambio de datos defectuoso usando la excusa de la confianza pública.

Don't let the "transparency portal" fool you. 🛑 Flock portals are often just curated PR dashboards, not true oversight. They mask the reality of faulty, unreliable mass AI surveillance and data sharing under the guise of public trust. transparency.flocksafety.com/yakima-wa-pd
