"Operation Flockout" is targeting Flock nationwide.
"Knock the Flock" is doing the same across the Midwest.
2 groups. 1 goal:
Remove every Flock camera in 🇺🇸 by 2027.
For the first time ever, the surveillance state is facing organized, multi-regional resistance.
Blessed are the privacy makers. 🕊️
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.
@dvastvrs It’s not even that, it’s the cap that doesn’t let us continue with the challenge that’s the frustrating part. They should’ve just let us continue on the challenges from prior weeks instead of blocking them off
The sickest thing about gas prices going from $2.84 to $4.99 in just two months is that Donald Trump is mentioned over 38,000 times in the Epstein Files.
@mrcymain I just hate that we couldn’t complete challenges from previous weeks. I’m at 46/48 challenges but can’t finish now because of the repeating cap and ow classic not being in arcade
@aaronkellerOW I don’t understand, why lock the challenges from week 1 instead of letting us complete them all throughout the time of the event. And then on top of that WHY cap a repeating challenge keeping us from completing 48 challenges. Also, why not have all the game modes in arcade.
“Raped”
“Murdered”
“Disposed of body”
Next to the President’s name
The WH has now taken over the social media account of the DOJ to protect him.
Asking MAGA and Republicans when is it enough?
Why are you silent?
🚨BREAKING: In an unusual move, Trump just IGNORED every single question about Jeffrey Epstein after the bill signing and panicked White House staff started to kick reporters out of the room.
It’s never been more obvious.
He’s fucking guilty.
