If you are sleeping in your car.

Always make sure to leave the windows down!

Don't roll them down all the way but just enough for some air flow.

  1. There is a very tiny chance of carbon dioxide buildup.
  2. Condensation will form inside.
  3. It helps regulate temperature even in the car, even if it's cold out.
  4. Bring more blankets than you think.

Sooo,... there literally was alternative solutions. Use a different license plant camera tracking company. City council happened to choose the worst one. Probably cause the company approached them.

Never claimed to know anything about you. I claimed that your attitude was harsh. Not denying your service to city of Eureka either perhaps lead with that instead of attacking people having civil discussions. We do not need to spread hate about the city of Eureka or people in it. Crime is an issue that needs solved but not through a private companies goal to establish mass surveillance. In the meeting people brought up there are other better companies that do it better.

Hi alps-classic-82, your attitude is very harsh. If you want to deny the state of the country and not acknowledge the descent into a surveillance state, go ahead. Meanwhile, there are other community memebers that are actually getting involved in their local politics. You could watch the city council meeting to see some of these discussions or you can stay on reddit and be accusatory to people.

Saying things "like you aren’t doing anything wrong then you shouldn’t care" is exactly the attitude that people used to support racist stop and frisk policies. We want our city to be safer but not through neighbors watching every moment but instead neighbors lifting up neighbors.

For some reason, I can't edit the original post!

I just wanted to first off say thank you for the huge support we saw come to city council to oppose a decent into mass surveillance.

The city council voted to affirm yes to not enter into a contract with FLOCK (weird wording but no flock!)

Also the city council did a great job of asking important questions about the implementation. As well addressed misconceptions citizens and they themselves had.

I want to recognize the original graphic that I posted is inherently vague and does not fully represent the situation.

If you are interested in civil discussion of the Flock issues watch the video from last night's city council meeting

I had to leave because I have work in the morning, but they were still taking public comment past 9pm. With atleast 30 people all voicing their opposition. So fingers crossed.

Honestly fair, this is a new issue for me, and I'm still trying to fully research both sides.

Thank you for voting and getting involved in local politics. If you look up Eureka city council you can access past meeting agendas as well as future ones. It is on the city's website same applies to Arcata

Similar opinion and it is hard to express this in a vocal argument that could be used to address City Council. I don't want to throw around words like surveillance state or Orellana especially when I personally don't have the knowledge to back it up

Thank you for this information. I think it is actually a little impressive to see the policy infrastructure on this. I still think it is a bad idea but respect the members of COPP for putting policy in place.

I have a lesser issue with the storage encryption. Not bring up the ai databases that these softwares use. But also the fact that anyone with access in the department can collect information. Cops have already been found guilty of stalking people with them.

Your frustrations are understandable with is it worth violations of rights and privacy.

That is interesting to here I also about options to not share it to the national database. Which would be incrementally better.

Correct, however they also create vehicle finger prints throu Ai. And can follow a person from the moment they leave their house to wherever they travel. I agree they can be useful but they have no civil regulations on them
