      …including, like, the custodian?

      You’re not going to win over undecided people by advocating for unreasonable, indiscriminate violence, you’re just going to give the opposition ammunition for calling you an extremist.

      It would be far more productive to support groups like the EFF and ACLU in lobbying for legislation to prevent such abusive technology. Also get involved in your local town/county politics to advocate against the installation of such things. The absolute last thing the sick fuckers running companies like Flock want is for people to organize against them. Don’t push people away, encourage them to join.

          Cut it with your divisive fetishism

          Pick a side.

          Right… I’m the one being divisive, by saying that we should organize and work together. Hilarious.

          systems that have already proven useless

          The thing doing the most damage to Flock right now is the negative public opinion pushing counties and townships to cancel contracts. Those “useless” systems are actively responding to the demands of their citizens, and Flock cameras are being removed in many jurisdictions. The way you hurt a capitalist enterprise is to take away its money (loss of contracts).

          So, how about you “pick a side” and join in with the effort that is actually producing results?

          Take Action

          We don’t have to accept this future. You can:

          Stay informed about local meetings: ALPR.watch provides a calendar and map of upcoming public meetings with agenda items related to Flock and other surveillance systems. You can sign up for email alerts when meetings near you are scheduled.
          Contact your local officials and demand transparency and oversight of surveillance programs. (See 5 Calls)
          Support organizations like the ACLU and the EFF who challenge mass surveillance in the courts and legislatures.
          Start conversations with neighbors and community groups about the risks of systems like Flock.
