@BasedMikeLee It’s in my 2024 vehicle @BasedMikeLee . Along with the ability of the maker to track my every whereabouts without my permission. Bought right here in the great USA. Love how Congress protects their constituents rights to privacy.
@PressSec Stop feeding us bs. Let’s just get the job done in Iran at home and continue American FAMILIES first. Get the family back and shrink government office and regulations, the country will fine.
@SecretaryWright So what have our leaders been doing to stop it in the last 17 years? 17 years of poor leadership that enriched themselves in exchange for crippling their own nation. While Americans point the finger at each other. Wake up America
Who are “they” when people say Mitch McConnell’s health is being hidden? Who legally controls end-of-life decisions, why the August 3 theory doesn’t appear to benefit either party, and the only person who has a plausible motive to conceal his health or keep him on a prolonged life-support, is likely only his wife, Elaine Chao.
🇺🇸 250 years ago we declared independence from the British Empire. 125 years ago, they stole it back—and erased the evidence.
This July 4th, Trump is reclaiming what McKinley died for: the American System.
@PressSec Will illegal immigrant women be a stronger focus after this absurd ruling? Is the FAA creating a strategy for combating immigrants flying here for birth citizenship? Keep it rollin!
@DHSgov Finally! Someone is saying it. Now if government officials will stop using those terms. You live here, work here have legal citizenship and raise a family here, you’re an American.
8 Ways To Take Down Flock Without A Sawzall:
1. Demand An Audit
Most cities never independently audit whether Flock cameras in town actually reduce crime. Ask your city council to show evidence that these cameras reduced violent crime. Make them prove it. They usually can't.
2. Find Out When the Contract Expires
Every Flock camera program has a contract renewal date. Use FOIAs to request the original contract, all amendments, renewal dates, and termination clauses.
This one is SO important because we must organize BEFORE renewal, not AFTER the cameras go up.
3. Demand the Privacy Impact Assessment
Before deploying any type of surveillance devices with public funds, many city governments are supposed to evaluate the privacy risks.
Ask for privacy Impact Assessment, civil liberties review, and constitutional analysis. If they never conducted one... Ask why not (they hate that.)
4. Show Up Before They Vote
Flock cameras aren't installed overnight. They usually require budget approval, council approval, contract approval. Use tools like "Citizen Portal" to setup automatic notifications for upcoming city council meetings. Speak before, not after installation.
5. Follow the Money
Want to know why your city suddenly wants Flock cameras? It's usually always grants or cronyism.
Ask for grant applications: DHS grants, DOJ grants, Homeland Security funding, ect. Surveillance programs begin because outside money make them "free."
6. Ask About Data Sharing
Every city should have to answer this question: "Exactly which agencies can search our city's license plate database?"
Ask for sharing agreements, MOUs, list of agencies with approval, and search logs. Most people think it's just local police. It rarely is, usually the feds too.
7. Audit Every Search
Public records requests aren't just for the contracts. You can publicly request every audit log showing who searched the Flock system and why.
Ask for date, user, reason for search and any case numbers. Abuse often shows up in the logs before it makes the news or a viral social media post.
8. Compare Crime Before & After
Download your city's crime data. Compare property and violent crime before and after Flock was installed.
If there's no meaningful change... Ask why taxpayers are still paying for it. If officials claim the cameras are effective, ask them to produce the evidence supporting continued funding.
