The EFF and ACLU letter lists 35 specific police agencies which either have informed the civil liberties organizations that they plan to keep sharing ALPR information with out-of-state law enforcement, or have failed to confirm their compliance with the law in response to inquiries by the organizations.
“We urge your office to explore all potential avenues to ensure that state and local law enforcement agencies immediately comply,” the letter said. “We are deeply concerned that the information could be shared with agencies that do not respect California’s commitment to civil rights and liberties and are not covered by California’s privacy protections.”
One of which is named “Flock Safety”. Flock, as in what birds and sheep do. Just to add an extra layer of dehumanization.
That’s the one my town uses. They keep adding more and more cameras around town because the police can’t solve crimes. It’s easy to bypass them though, just walk or ride a bike.
Or use public transit?
I mean, sure, if you don’t have to travel more than a couple miles. And you’re not disabled.
