End Our Community's Contract With Flock Safety's Surveillance Network

End or block any contract our community has with Flock Safety. This company's automated license plate reader network scans more than 20 billion plates every month across 5,000 communities — and it shares that data with ICE, the FBI, and any law enforcement agency in its system. That's not local policing. That's mass surveillance with no meaningful oversight. The documented harms are real and close to home. A Texas sheriff used Flock data to track a woman who had an abortion. The Syracuse, NY police department had its local data searched 4.4 million times in a single year by outside agencies — without their knowledge. Syracuse cancelled its contract. More than 55 localities have done the same in the past year. Our community should be next. If ending the contract outright isn't immediately possible, I want you to push for strict contract provisions: data deleted within minutes if no crime is involved, no sharing with federal agencies like ICE, and no running plates against the FBI's NCIC database, which doesn't meet basic accuracy standards under federal privacy law. Our neighbors shouldn't be tracked, flagged, or detained because a private company sold access to their movements.
