And remove and destroy all of the installed ones…right? Right?
Aren’t most of them funded by local governments anyway?
(And then when the city councils or residents vote to stop it, the cops leave them up anyway?)
federal bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock-style automated license plate reader cameras
This is so such local governments have other funding withdrawn until they get rid of the cameras, presumably
My local government had funds offered by a federal grant they didn’t apply for. A neighboring county had applied for the federal grant, received a ton of money, and was dishing it out to police across the region.
Between this and local police working with ICE, it feels like a federal government takeover of everything. The sheriff of a neighboring county has his salary paid by ICE/DHS, and that isn’t right. Federalized police departments.
Sounds like the police have too much money…
What about Motorola and Axon cameras? They all need to go, no exceptions.
This; anything else is just surveillance companies jockeying for contracts. Let’s ban the thing that’s bad, government’s spying on their own citizens, please.
Leonardo?
If it does get far enough to be introduced and to actual vote. I am guessing there will be a massive push by Flock to flood news outlets and lobbyists to how “successfully bad guys were caught” or otherwise “prevented.” Probably lock-in on any instance(s) involving children being protected/found. With any and all misleading stats downplaying the actual levels of spying on literally everyone not doing anything illegal (or that children are being scanned and added to those growing databases). And the fucked up cases of false positives that drag those people into court, job losses from being accused/arrested, and financial losses from the first two.
I actually saw some praise on Flock today on Facebook. Youre probably right
But what about the poor executives?!?!
/s
This will never be passed because most of the people benefitting from Flock are the ones who will vote on the bill.
You think politicians like that them and their family member’s every move is being tracked?
That puts them at risk
politicians like political donations.
They believe it will only be used against the plebs.
One can hope
Flock around and find out
When the worst person you know has a good idea…
He’s actually had a few other good ideas. He put forth a bill to desigbate AIPAC as a foreign agency so they couldn’t lobby. This guy is better than all the other Republicans and at least half the dems.
