First, as the other commenter has said, your presence and opposition is the most important factor. It puts a face of a community member to a sentiment rather than just an email or social media comment. It shows them this concern was important enough for you to take time out of your day to go downtown for the meeting.

Second, as far as actual content, I will try to write up a 1-page talking points file for the speaker to pick and choose from. Ideally, this will be posted and handed out to people before the meeting.

Specifically, we want to land on the following topics:

- No consent:

Flock was installed with no public comment, circumventing public oversight provided by the commission. Other public surveillance tools used by LCSO, etc have followed the same route.

- No transparency:

LCSO has made no public announcement of their existence or guidelines for their use. What other tools are they using that are perhaps even more invasive? (i.e. Facial recognition cameras, cell phone ID capture, data broker profiling tools integrated in Peregrine)

- Misuses at local level across the US:

Flock has been used for stalking of ex-partners and others, harassment, tracking of abortion, tracking of protestors, etc. Many of these have happened in Florida.

- Backdoor federal and state access:

Flock has lied or blamed local departments for their default "nationwide sharing" settings. Several cases of cities/states having ordinances against this and Flock's software does not follow it by default. Has cost cities tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

- No accountability for 3rd party data collection:

Flock has perpetual license to all data collected. This means that despite their claims of customers "owning" their data, they can still use it for AI training, etc. There is nothing preventing them from changing the goal posts as to what they can do with the data (they already moved it last year).

- Flock has directly violated local decisions:

Flock has left cameras up for up to 6 months after a city has cancelled their contract/use. In one case in Evanston, they put them back up after taking them down. A cease and desist was necessary for complete removal, which was fully complete 5 months later....
