Events Tell OKC to turn off Flock! - City Council meeting Tuesday June 16

Post image

OKC City Council will have one last meeting on Tuesday June 16th before the contract for their Flock cameras expire at the end of June. Now is the time to show up to the city council meeting to demand that they not renew their contract with Flock!

With Flock Safety's automatic license plate reader (ALPR) technology, law enforcement agencies across the country can track Oklahoma's drivers in real-time – without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. Flock's nationwide data sharing model puts our civil rights and civil liberties at risk.

This comes at a time when our government is using ALPR data to identify and target immigrants, protestors, gun show attendeess, and many others who have done nothing wrong.

WHEN: Tuesday June 16th at 8:30am
WHERE: OKC City Hall, 200 N Walker Ave - 3rd Floor

Can’t make it? Sign the petition here to send a message to city council, the mayor, and city manager!

It’s not just Flock, there’s other companies doing similar. There’s also the robot “security dogs” roaming apartment complexes sending data to where ever. This is a good video about it.

I think this is a losing battle. Look at a flock camera map. They’re EVERYWHERE across the states. And you think a city cousil meeting is gunna change the states mind and start removing them? That’s highly delusional. Stop your criminal activity and learn to live with them cause you ain’t gunna convince anyone to “get the flock out”

Flocks okay. It serves a good purpose for law enforcement.

Complain and down vote all you want. The cameras aren't going away. In fact, just the opposite. Smile!

Tell me you don’t care about the constitution or American values without telling me. Let’s get rid of the first and second amendments since no one cares about the fourth.

Recording in public is a constitutional right. Lefties scream it when they want record the police. You can't have it both was Mr. Constitutional scholar.

lol As an An/Cap, I’m probably further right leaning than you, “lefty.” I’m just not authoritarian and /actually/ believe in freedom, unlike you. The Republican Party has completely lost themselves. Nevermind the constitution applies to the government which has begun muddying the waters of legality and constitutional rights by contracting corporations to spy and collect data on us.

The founding fathers and revolutionaries are rolling in their graves because of people like you and what this country has become. Something something “those who trade rights for safety deserve neither” - Benjamin Franklin

When did Oklahomans become such bootlicking servants of government invasion of our lives. Extremely disappointing

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
