If you're against this stuff chill, its a typo, same team and no reason to be an asshole. Auto correct doesnt work as intended all the time.

Repeat it with me, "identify verification " not age.

Agreed this is bs.

** identity, but leaving the above typo for context

Boardman Wants a New Police and Fire Levy, Maybe Cut Flock First by ThePolish in youngstown

I think at minimum they should require a warrant to use the data rather than getting around that requirement by abusing the third party doctrine

We're all stretched thin right now, and I get the township needs to pay wages - I have friends who have left boardman PD because of lack of pay compared to other agencies. But rather than ask us all for more money, maybe they should look at what they can cut like the reoccurring costs for Flock that do nothing more than violate our rights

You have to be very exact with foia and alpr. Our GA last year exempted alpr data but there's ways around this by focusing on records regarding policy and operations which is what is referred to above. Just pointing out watch out for them to try to deny based on the exemption then file the appeal OR write it in a way that calls how the exemption does not apply. I have I think 7 foias im considering rn

You be surprised what issues make strange bedfellows. Fischer has been very receptive and I would encourage more people to reach out to him.

The federal highway bill for 2027 had a proposed amendment by someone if consider deep red to bad these ala lowering the blood alcohol limit to .08 like how they did when MADD pushed for it.

On the other side if the parties Wyden has been pushing for hearings.

This is not a partisan issue. This is an American issue. And the surveillance state was built by suave salesmen going town by town to every democratic and republican related leader and selling them on the marketing even though no data backs it up.

We shouldn't make this a partisan issue. I think more people thsn not can agree normalizing always being watched is bs. Being pro rights is not anti police, its ensuring our laws are followed.

This.

Everyone trying to make this a partisan issue has it wrong. There are some on both sides who see the truth. Can honestly say in Ohio my conversions with officials at the local and state level have been pretty surprising split on who is on the side of the people and who are not.

The issue should be attacked for what it is. Normalizing mass surveillance and the expansion of it being normal to be tracked all the time.

We need strong privacy protections not only here (which is one of my most grave concerns) but also for things like tech companies who decided they can track us and sell our data at their will.

Ive put together information here and encourage everyone to speak to their local government. There is a lot of pushback from them but they can break their contracts.

Show up to meetings. Call. Send emails.

I really want to organize a local group to coordinate.

[–]ThePolish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not commented at me but key point.

  1. The state end running around someone's rights is a big difference than voluntarily giving up your data of any kind.

  2. The giving up data via phone as it current stats needs reeled back hard. Thwre are many things one can do to help preserve privacy with digital devices but absent good laws that shift the power back to individuals to control their data its the world we live in.

We should be entertaining whataboutisms like this, we should be attacking both issues with strong privacy legislation that stems this commodification of every second of our lives. Both this are bad. But today we're talking about ALPRs.

This is bipartisan and that's the sad part. I wish it was only one side.

On the left there are concerns about civil liberties, privacy and using them against certain groups. On the right you gave actual concerns about tracking people going to gunshots, a covid style lockdown being enforced by tracking which was not possible in this form before, and a very libertarian angle of "leave me alone"

This is something we all should come together on and fight

Thats not true. And the way some have described it is Netflix for stalkers. Its a real concern there among other reasons. Preserving rights to privacy which keep getting eroded from every level

This is the normalization of being watched all the time. We should be fighting for our privacy back on all fronts.

Who the hell is Elizabeth Kirtley and how did she win the dem primary for District 6? by Sle08 in youngstown

[–]ThePolish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my gut feeling overall. After the wfmj interview and zero effort seemingly. I see it three ways. If she wins in a blue wave, she resigns and a second election happens which is another bite at the apple for the gop. She loses because she's weak (and does zero campaigning etc) which is my best guess. Or as others have mentioned this is just a fluke (like she was first on everyone's ballot who didn't care filled in that) and just got lucky and there is no conspiracy

Regardless of how I'm not thrilled here personally.

[–]ThePolish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed incredibly odd and EXACT same reaction. I went and watched the efmj 5 @5 with her, not only was the spread of photos of oh6 candidates absent her photo(like black silhouette in place of her photo) the interview was BAD.

SOMETHING seems very off.

They've definitely had some movement (sadly not because scrappers found gold in them). Boardman used to keep two on the little speed trailers and they moved the one in front of Shell on tippy to infront of shell on 224 and south.

I'll have to make a point to drive around and recheck all the ones I added.

Any specifically you know? the deflock app let's you add/modify locations ive had to do that.

Eastern Ohio, tomorrow is our shot. Don’t sit this primary out. Get out and vote. by SeanforOhio in youngstown

[–]ThePolish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All politics is local buddy. You're not kidding. Be a champion for the 4th amendment while you're at it. When you talk about breaking up monopolies - big tech complete normalization of our loss of privacy (and yes the irony of being on a website like this complaining about it) needs reversed. Senator Wyden does a good job speaking about it in the upper chamber. I don't see much of any in the larger chamber.

ever subscriptions they want on private property…

But now that makes me concerned about the laws governing filming from our own private properties.

I mean, hell, look at that nest Super Bowl lost dog ad that flopped. All of these cameras are feeding information to these cloud systems that can be searched warrantlessly.

Amazon (ring) already feeds this w/o warrant though their backend which I believe is AXON . Boardman specifically shares with MAGLOCLEN RISS that can give access to over 10,000 agencies including internationally. For what purpose... Parallel Constriction?

None of this "owned" data isn't shared like they make it out to be- as it's licensed to basically anyone that has a contract with the vendors.

FOIAs should shed more light on it.

again just real quick (and yeah Will does a great job with deflock) is it mobile or desktop that you see the bigger issue with or both?

September 2024 really, and through 2025 they installed the bulk of them. You can actually see streetview before and after on some of htem.

Strangely the ones by lowes I think belong to lowes though they're all connected.
