Why hasn't Indianapolis done anything about the Flock camera abuse? Answer: Because Council President Maggie Lewis keeps blocking the regulations. Watch this week's video, check out the new website, and send an email to demand action!

Joe Hogsett can't seem to talk straight to the people who pay his salary. Instead, all we get is a neverending story. My latest constituent video and newsletter just dropped! Watch it, cringe at my singing, then read the newsletter in the comments.

The police didn't protect us from ICE. The federal government doesn't protect us from poisonous food. What exactly does Public Safety mean, anyway? Short video this week focused on Dalys Jett - but read the newsletter for more details.

IMPD's drone unit now has technology that can send high-definition cameras to peer into windows, over fences, and in other places where we've come to expect privacy. Facial recognition technology continues to advance. Palantir and other tech firms increasingly control data.

Jesse Brown for Indianapolis @jesseforindy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

The government serves by the consent of the governed; none of us has consented for this new technology to be used to the scale it has been. deflock.org shows 557 cameras in the Indianapolis area - and without urgent action, this will only spread.

I would personally gladly vote to ban Flock cameras and all other surveillance technology. But even those who support the technology should be willing to come before the public, make their case for why it's necessary, and subject it to a public hearing and a vote.

An Open Letter to Supporters of Liberty and Democracy: We need an Indianapolis TRUST Act!

August 13, 2026

An Open Letter to Supporters of Liberty and Democracy:

I am writing to encourage and insist that the City of Indianapolis and all public safety organizations take immediate action to curb the unaccountable and opaque use of surveillance technology such as Flock cameras.

As a civil libertarian, I have had severe misgivings about the nature of and ubiquitousness of the data available to and retained by public safety departments.

Since July of 2025, I have been in communication with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department leadership, Flock Safety representatives, and fellow municipal legislators from around the country to investigate the Automatic License Plate Readers and other surveillance technology.

Based on a thorough review of best practices from around the country, by June of 2026 I had determined that Austin, Texas’s Transparent and Responsible Use of Surveillance Technology (TRUST) Act would be the most appropriate and effective municipal policy to bring to bear in order to govern these complex issues.

This proposal will establish strict oversight on how any city departments and police agencies procure, use, and share data from surveillance tools. It would be future-facing by requiring explicit approval from the City-County Council before any City department or agency could acquire or deploy any new surveillance technology. It would require transparency reports detailing data collection, sharing, and storage practices to be published at least four weeks prior to a Council vote. And it would ban outright some obvious improper uses of data, such as facial recognition tech and marketing or product development technology.

In light of today’s revelation that an IMPD officer misused Flock security hundreds of times, I am calling for urgent action by the Council attorney and leadership to bring this act to the full Council at our next meeting.

Can't do it by weight, only vehicle classification. We are already raising the excise tax to the max for trucks, vans, buses. I drive an EV and agree I should pay more; Statehouse doesn't allow us to do that.

Corrupt Mayor Joe Hogsett is trying to take millions of dollars from taxpayers and put it into schools that have no accountability to the public. Public education in Indianapolis could die if we don't act now! Check out my latest constituent newsletter and video, Public Education Under Fire:

Mass and College. Where Brandon Breedlove was struck and killed. Where neighbors and business owners have constantly demanded action for safer streets. Where we held a protest to draw attention to safety last year. How many people need to suffer serious injuries or die for Joe Hogsett to act?!
