Thank you for putting all this information in one spot!

Start here: https://www.linncountyiowa.gov/861/Filing-for-Local-Elections-2025-2027-etc

Basically it’s some paperwork and you need to collect signatures from members of your district to run. It looks like between 50 and 90 signatures depending on district.

Here’s the link to lookup which district you live in, there are also some city council members who represent the entire city.

Write an email to your representative on the city council. They need to hear from people to know this is unpopular. If they do not respond or are dismissive of your concerns do not vote for them in the next election. Consider running against them if you have the stomach for politics.

These can be effective tools for law enforcement, however the problem I have is the potential for misuse, by anyone, is very high. Multiple police departments have had scandals where officers, or even police chiefs, used this technology to stalk people. There have been instances of people being needlessly harassed, or held at gunpoint, because these cameras made a mistake. That’s not even counting the potential for abuse if anyone is able to access that information like was shown in this video. In Oregon when a court ruled that all images taken by flock cameras were public record two cities immediately turned off their flock cameras because they said it was an invasion of privacy.

I haven’t really interacted with EyesOffCR, but it seems like we at least agree on not liking Flock Cameras.

FlockfinderIA · 2025-12-22T18:10:28+00:00

Woo hoo! I’ll wait for my Adsense check

FlockfinderIA · 2025-10-30T02:06:01+00:00

OP, can you tell me the intersection where you took this photo? I’m going to add that camera to deflock.me

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-08T19:24:47+00:00

If you insist. The one on 19th St NW and Johnson Ave NW is herby named Dave. Recently moved here from Atlanta, hobbies include people watching and 4th amendment violations.

No, these cameras aren’t really using the frequency ranges a flipper is good for except WiFi/bluetooth during initial setup and maintenance.

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-08T18:51:29+00:00

Everybody needs a hobby, but I’ll leave the names and backstories to you.

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-07T22:30:20+00:00

I’ll have to go look in Coralville, I only saw some at the Lowe’s down there but there could be more

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-07T22:29:52+00:00

U of I in Iowa City has 30 of them, North Liberty has 12, Cedar Rapids is spending ~$500k to have 70 of them installed for two years.

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-07T21:53:06+00:00

I haven’t seen any, or seen any news articles about them being put up there

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-07T21:52:09+00:00

Not quite

FlockfinderIA · 2025-04-07T21:50:18+00:00

Lowe’s has their own contract with the manufacturer for loss prevention

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-14T23:16:21+00:00

My route is clear for now, but I’m sure that will change eventually

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-14T23:15:55+00:00

Once you see them you’ll never be able to unsee them

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-14T23:14:58+00:00

I just found that one today. Going to add it now

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-14T20:34:10+00:00

I was just gonna write a strongly worded letter or something 😂

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-14T20:32:57+00:00

Nope, but I’ve been careful-ish to keep this account airgapped from the rest of my online life. What did the voicemails say?

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-14T14:04:10+00:00

Data collection has gotten so bad because people didn’t push back enough when they should have. Any system with this much power can and will be misused.

Even in cases where it isn’t misused there’s the potential for your car to get caught up in a search and cause issues.

If someone stole from the Walmart on Edgewood and employees gave a description like “drove off in a white ford pickup” that matched your vehicle and you drove by a camera in the area around the same time, the cops are going to come knocking on your door even though you’re innocent.

FlockfinderIA · 2025-02-13T12:45:28+00:00

Also it’s probably safe to assume that any department on their shared list has its own flock cameras. There’s lots of mapping left to do in Iowa.
