The Los Angeles Police Department is ending its agreement with Flock Safety, a company that operates surveillance cameras throughout the city.
LAPD announced that it will allow its agreement with the company to expire Saturday, ending the department’s three-year relationship with the security firm - at least for now.
Flock cameras capture images of vehicles and license plates on roadways. LAPD says the cameras can help track down suspects involved in crimes.
Please be aware that unless they physically remove the cameras, ending the agreement only removes local cop access to the data. Unless they physically remove the cameras, the cameras are still operating, tracking everyone, and violating everyone’s rights. Don’t settle for anything less than actual physical removal of the cameras.

Even if you have to do it yourself.
Someone told me they are full of copper, cocaine and jellybeans 🤷♀️
This is the first I’m hearing of jelly beans and suddenly I have a sawsall in my hand.
Gold connectors. (seriously).
And that info is being sent to DHS and every private data broker that can pay

I hope so. They have not done that in the city where I live despite ending their contrite flock. People need to agitate with their local government to take this additional step.
Oh, they’ll be physically removed alright.
