Redmond turns off Flock Safety cameras after ICE arrests

Redmond police turned off their city’s Flock Safety cameras last week after masked, unidentified officers — later identified as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — arrested three people, each less than a mile from at least one of the city’s cameras.
During a City Council session Oct. 27, Redmond police Chief Darrell Lowe said no federal agency had accessed the city’s Flock data, but agreed to suspend officers’ access to the system until city officials had discussed ending Redmond’s contract with the company.
Redmond City Council member Angie Nuevacamina said Thursday the proximity of the arrests to some of the city’s cameras was coincidental, and not because ICE had “somehow tapped into” Redmond’s Flock cameras or data. The city suspended its Flock system because city officials could not guarantee they wouldn’t be forced to release data collected by those devices someday, she said.
Their concerns may have been prescient.
On Thursday, a Skagit County Superior Court judge ruled that pictures taken by Flock cameras in the cities of Sedro-Woolley and Stanwood qualify as public records, and therefore must be released as required by the state’s Public Records Act, court records show.

The idiots protesting no kings should be protesting mass surveillance, the data centers and the entire digital slave grid.

Maybe ICE can start making arrests near speed and red light cameras next.

Weird Dems suddenly no longer GAF about safety?
Another example of protecting Illegals at the price of citizens.

Redmond was the latest in a string of Flock-using, Seattle-area cities to change their surveillance programs in the last three weeks in response to those concerns.

Turning off Redmond’s Flock cameras was what the city had in its “tool belt to be able to protect and stand up for (their) community,” Nuevacamina said.

Communities must balance concerns they have about Flock cameras against what Haley called the “very real outcomes” of using the technology: “these are kidnapped kids returned home, elderly people with dementia found quickly.”

They would rather compromise public safety than allow ICE to use the cameras.

And we certainly can't tolerate the public having access to the data. Would be funny to see them suddenly turned off everywhere after this ruling

What’s crazy is the county argued against the FOIA release because it would be an invasion of people’s privacy.
So their argument was that they can invade people’s privacy by recording everyone but can’t let taxpayers see it because it’s an invasion of privacy.

They knew they were going to lose bigly.
The resistance was all for show.

“Educated and progressive” leftists:
“Let’s install Flock cameras to record citizens’ every move and catch some citizen’s that break the law!”
Also “educated and progressive” leftists:
“Flock cameras can be reviewed for any illegal alien movement!! Oh no!! We can’t have them being used for federal law enforcement against illegal aliens!!!”

Hell… they will give up an entire Saturday to protest something that doesn’t even exist.

It's so deliciously fricking ironic that they suddenly care about government surveillance overreach only now that it's affecting illegal aliens.
The people of these municipalities should be dragging their "leaders" into the streets and burning them at the stake.

A great idea for a comedy documentary would be to pay protesters to protest against paid protests in America, film the whole thing and then make a documentary to profit from it all

Government operating and cooperating in cahoots with the private sector...hmmmm.
Mass surveillance turning free citizens into subjects. Fits better with the Chinese or N. Korean models than a free country, doesn't it?
Also sounds a lot like prisons with more freedom of movement, for now.
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." This reflects the idea that surveillance can transform free citizens into subjects by eroding their privacy and freedoms."

Progtards only like mass surveillance police state when it benefits them. Otherwise, muh infringement!

Wow. I hate their reasoning, but I fully support removing widespread government surveillance cameras. I am only okay with this in areas where there's wide public pedestrian use, like an entertainment district or something of that nature.
Did they remove their red light cameras too? Speeding cameras? Or do they only care because they want to aid and abet this particular crime?
