I'd seek a jury trial. Let 12 other Lafayette citizens decide my fate. I'd bet more are against the cameras than for them.

Read the posts and then do your own research. We're not flock.

So basically these flock cameras are everywhere and they record not only your vehicle but every electronic signature that is emitting from it in real time. They track bumper stickers dents dings tent an update their database constantly. It is available for law enforcement and other entities to pay a subscription to use all of that data. If I get this wrong somebody please let me know.

The irony of all of yall posting on iPhones worried about privacy issues from license plate readers is incredible.

By advocating for the complete removal of Flock, you are also saying that you do not care when law enforcement caught that one child predator. Really sick logic here.

Yeah, this right here is bullshite and incredibly shortsighted.

Yes this happens in government all the time why didn’t anyone else think of that.

You are gullible. Law enforcement jobs today only attract power-hungry permanent carb loaders with below-average intelligence. How many cops do you see going 40 over with no lights or sirens? Or the blind eyes they turn towards misconduct? Pump money into policing to make the quality of candidate better, not buying luxury cruisers and tactical gear that never gets used. Especially when they sit outside of an active shooter situation at a school, bunch of fat, lazy, stupid cowards with badges.

I will NOT sacrifice my freedom for safety. I dont give a shite if it helps you track down "criminals". I have a 2nd amendment to protect myself and dont need you intruding on my privacy.

Freedom always seems dangerous to some. Imagine the mental gymnastics needed to think stripping freedom will equal more security.

Flock cameras aren’t “mass surveillance,” they’re automated license-plate readers that capture brief moments in time, not continuous tracking of citizens, and they don’t record people or behavior. Nobody is sitting around watching Red Eagle or Roy Curado's movements because (I hate to hurt your little feelings here) nobody cares about us. Flock requires explicit searches, every query is logged and audited, data automatically deletes after a short retention period, and agencies don’t have the staff or authority to monitor random individuals


I mean, if anyone wants proof how wrong this dude is, go to Flock's website, and scroll to their page on Flock Freeform. You can look up individual people simply based on what's in the photo, symbols, bumper stickers, clothing, skin color... Then flock will make heat maps of probable locations on where to find said person. The best part is that there's no license plate even reauired- and that's before we start talking drones that follow innocent civilians from 2000 feet in the sky with thermal vision, or signal trace, which registers Bluetooth identifiers in your phone to the passing car, as well as an analysis of the signal.

Who's naive?

Ah, the irony of someone calling the same people that are in charge of this sophisticated "surveillance state",

What a complete moron. You can't have fat, lazy, stupid people in charge and orchestrating a very complex and complicated surveillance state... stop drinking or smoking
