I think something folks don't realize about the flock situation is that the towns and cities paying flock for this data do not own the data. Like, if Flock starts using it in a way they don't like, they let them do it.
I think this is a situation that ultimately falls victim to vigilante justice. They're too easy to defeat.
“Know your place, trash!”
Oh yes we will!
… everyone then walks out to the parking lot and presents their case in front of the Flock camera….
Seriously though, seems like a good solution is to make a bunch of hangers with placards in them and place them over the cameras. It’s not defacing anything, and could be considered right of speech when other avenues of communication are illegally removed.
Im sure that will stop them.
Or we could very snidely say “I’m sure that will stop them” as if THAT will actually help to stop them.
“I’ve spoken. I’m not debating this. I am taking advantage of our policy as it is written to streamline this process, you can either do it or not.”
Ask for your encounters with Flock using FOIA.
I don't think you can use FOIA against a private company.
Oh, well nkw I know better. Thank you, friend.
