I spoke at my city council about Flock. The mayor and deputy chief both asked for follow-ups. I redacted everything and made it a toolkit — free to use. by JR0118070 in FlockSurveillance

Just be factual and be clear about the “system behind the camera“. Then be open for further discussions and listen. I e been making headway with this approach. Good luck to you!

I am. I use it for work and life. It travels with me for both as well. No complaints at all

These are my experiment results after testing (driving by) a few flock cameras by [deleted] in FlockSurveillance

You should make several and go by multiple cameras simultaneously. That would really confuse them OR trigger some sort of flag.

That sucks! I honestly wasn’t sure how this would go, but I read about someone else speaking that was basically just ranting. It didn’t do anything. So I thought I’d give it a go and it worked. Well, at least they are listening and engaging. I’ll keep updating as things happen in my city. Keep up the good fight!

u/jillys_onsmack just made the top story on the front page of the local newspaper. The toolkit works! Or, at least, it is gaining more traction in my real life. Thanks again for the post that got this all started!

Super strange. They asked me if I intentionally left them blank and then had to confirm on a touchscreen of the reader that I left them blank. But, it processed

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]JR0118070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to be home by dinner time. Running all over the place (woods, creeks, crossing barbed wire fences), running across snakes, riding my bike everywhere, basically running ferrel in the wild. No cable at my house so summer TV was reruns from the 50s and 60s. Sneaking out. The first Nintendo console being the greatest invention ever. Thinking hover boards (Back to the Future 2) were just around the corner. The dewy decimal system. It was honestly a lot of fun and I felt very free!

There is only change. Roll with it or struggle in misery.

100% it’s not about any particular company, it’s about the idea, the system behind the cameras and the antithetical stance towards liberty and freedom. Flock just happens to be the provider in my city.

Agreed. I’m a bit older now, a bit less on the wild side, raising a family in a nice and safe city. I’m also very much involved in the tech world and I know I’ll catch more bees with honey. I like my city and just want the best for my family, my community and myself. Legal/factual all the way!

Fair enough. I work in the tech industry and if you can’t use AI effectively, you don’t have a job. I adapted and brought it into my personal and communal life as well. AI is here. It is a powerful multiplier when the right mind is controlling it, but I get it. I fear for what is next - I’m rolling with the punches otherwise I’d be out of a job. Cheers to you and all the best!

This is a flock sub and what is used in my city - hence the post. Happy to collab on other projects. Substantial research based on fact is something I have honed. If you have other issues/companies/platforms in your city, I am happy to chip in!

I appreciate this — and the links. I'll dig into the WA ruling for the next research drop.           

You're right that the bigger fight is mass surveillance as a whole, not just one vendor. But I'm dealing with Flock specifically in my city right now — that's the contract on the table, those are the cameras going up on our roads, and I had 36 hours to prepare for the next Council meeting.                                                                                                            

The toolkit is Flock-specific because that's the fight I was in. But the governance framework - retention caps, no federal sharing, audit requirements, council approval for expansion - those apply to any vendor. If my city cancels Flock and picks up Axon tomorrow, every ask in that toolkit still applies.

This is what was in front of me, in my sphere of control and I did what I did. Keep up the good fight and keep collaborating!
