Join community on Monday May 4th (today!) at the City of San Diego’s Evening Budget Hearing to tell the City what you want funded instead of Flock smart streetlights. With arts and children's services chopped, there's so much more to want than surveillance 6pm at 202 C Street, SD City Hall, 12th fl

What is Flock Nova, the service SDPD quietly adopted last December according to Axios? 404 media reports that Flock Nova is a "massive people look up tool" that uses open source intelligence and agency data to find links between people. www.404media.co/license-plat... #sandiego

Last Dec, SDPD quietly signed a contract for Flock Nova without going through the Privacy Advisory Board or public oversight process. Nova, like Palantir, links and integrates in house and "open source intelligence." www.axios.com/local/san-di... #alpr #flock #surveillance

While City Council was filled with thousands of people asking for the Flock contract to be dropped, SDPD signed a contract (same month!) with Flock for Nova, the Palantir-like data fusion software without bringing it to the public. www.axios.com/local/san-di...

Show up to San Diego City Council Thursday, April 30 at 5:30pm @ San Diego City Hall (12th floor). The Privacy Advisory Board votes ONCE A YEAR on Flock ALPR, Smart Streetlights & more. Tell the Board: NO RUBBER STAMPS. PAB needs to hear from the community. #alpr #flock

Flock left 60 Condor AI-people tracking cameras open to the internet. @404mediaco reports cameras can zoom in close enough to read your cell phone screen. San Diego has not said it has these cameras, but it shows (again) Flock as sloppy and creepy. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Former ICE and CBP leaders who have now left the agency told the FT that previous safeguards are gone, with ICE pursuing aggressive quotas by using data from Social Security, the IRS, and commercial surveillance and license plate reader companies. ig.ft.com/us-ice-surve...

We are inspired, furious, and we will not stop. Read our statement on yesterday's San Diego City Council vote on ALPR.

What the Flock indeed! Union Tribune drops this gem: An SDPD captain helped secure a multimillion dollar surveillance deal. Now he works for the contractor. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/12/09/a...

"We hacked Flock Safety cameras in under 30 seconds" www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB0g...

"Get Flock off our block" is also excellent. Credit to gee_emcee on IG

Phrase of the year: "get the flock out of my city!"

For 2 weeks this year, unauthorized outside agencies searched SD's Flock license plate data. Flock messed up the settings. SDPD first hid the breach, then admitted it months later but still redacts the reasons for the 12,914 unauthorized searches. Council vote Tue! Act now: trst.fyi/stop-flock-e

Union or Bust talks about Flock, and why the right to privacy still matters no matter what Silicon Valley or the police try to tell us. youtu.be/yyNIR4XIork?...

Leaders and community spoke truth at our press conference this week. "The SD police officer that led this initiative, that led bringing this technology to the city of SD, is now an employee of Flock. There is something extremely wrong with how this was done." Councilmember Henry Foster

Are people wondering why Flock is so terrible and out of control as a company? Here's a one pager you can share around too: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Why shut down Flock? A thread 🧵⬇️ Message your Council member and show up at City Council next Tuesday, Dec 9! Flock prioritizes getting investors rich by building creepy AI and people profiling tools using our tax dollars. www.aclu.org/news/nationa...

Flock lied about a Texas sheriff who searched Flock to track down a woman for an abortion. Flock asserted the woman was never under criminal investigation. Court documents showed Flock misled the public for months, accusing journalists of lying. #shutdownflock #whattheflock

Hearing SDPD say if people don't want their plates shared widely they can shop elsewhere is sbad faith when it is only a kpbs investigation that reveals the mall, Lowe's, and Home Depot sharing data.

San Diego City Council Public Safety Committee considers Flock this Wednesday, Nov 12 at 2pm. Tell them to get Flock out of San Diego, and explain to them how Flock makes your community less safe. Comment on agenda item 3: trst.fyi/PS-comm

In Dec, SD City Council will decide whether to spend millions to keep Flock automated license plate readers (ALPR) on our streets. Flock has created an out-of-control data sharing technology. Flock deceived the public. Flock overrode City authorities. Flock Hall of Shame 🧵👇🏼

Flock must be cancelled! bsky.app/profile/sand...

In true form for San Diego, we are paying for the worst of the worst of the license plate readers systems: Flock. Lies, data breaches, lawsuits, failed audits, abusive practices. Never stop fighting against San Diego adopting the worst products and practices. We can and should have better.

City of San Diego's Privacy Advisory Board votes unanimously to "cease' Flock Automated License Plate Reader Technology. PAB's report: www.sandiego.gov/sites/defaul... The final decision is with City Council. Be heard by leaving a comment for Public Safety Committee. How to in thread 🧵

@CA_Dem opposes sharing license plate data w/ ederal government or further expanding ALPR, calling for investing in community needs instead. Full reso: drive.google.com/file/d/1klB6... @kentleesd.bsky.social @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social @seanelorivera.bsky.social Tell your councilmember! ⬇️

KPBS reports that SDPD has admitted that it violated state law and mishandled license plate data. www.kpbs.org/news/border-... 📣 Take action! 🧵

@KPBS reports on the struggle to stop license plate surveillance as they give feds access to our locations. This tech isn't safe for public use. youtu.be/JMxUbiSruvM?... via @YouTube

Patty Mondragon of Alliance San Diego tells San Diego City Council, "bit by bit, you've been paving the road to authoritarianism and fascism." Itt is only a matter of time, she warns, before the surveillance tech Councilmembers approved will be used on them.

Over 1000 San Diegans signed the petition telling City Council to pull funding from ALPR and fund parks, libraries, and other essential services. City Council votes tomorrow at 1pm on whether to pull funding. Sign the petition and share with five friends: bit.ly/trust-sign25

"La tecnología #ALPR fomenta el fascismo de Trump y perjudica a los trabajadores. El Consejo Laboral de los condados Imperial y de SD, que representa a más de 200 mil trabajadores...ha solicitado al Ayuntamiento que desconecte y elimine los sistemas ALPR de Flock.." @sdlaborcouncil

📣 Pull the plug on ALPR! 📣 City Council VOTES Tue@1 on whether to pay $2 mill for ALPR (Automated License Plate Readers) accessed by ICE and out-of-state cops. ALPR comes up for a Council vote AGAIN in a few months. But ICE is a threat NOW. Take action! trst.fyi/25jun10

"Grow a moral backbone!" Closing words from @potcsd as Michael gets real about people hiding in their homes because of Trump terror. Money for parks, not terrorizing law enforcement tech.

Uplifting @pppswaction.bsky.social at San Diego City Council Jun 6 calling for pulling funding from ALPR: "We oppose SDPD coordinating and sharing data with ICE and Border Patrol...and we know our patients accessing our health care services at our centers feel less safe when they are surveilled."

We need your signatures! Tell SD City Council to reject mass surveillance funding. The City has shared license plate location data with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and CBP 10 times in the last year. Fund public services, not ICE raid infrastructure. bit.ly/trust-sign25

📣 Show up to City Council in person or online! 📣 Tell SD Council to pull funding from Flock surveillance used by ICE and fund essential public services instead. Friday, June 6th at 9am San Diego City Hall or zoom Action Kit and talking points ⬇️ trst.fyi/25jun6

Necesitamos tu firma! El año pasado San Diego compartió información obtenida de sistemas de vigilancia con ICE y HSI. Dile al Consejo de la Ciudad: Rechazamos el financiamiento de la vigilancia masiva de ICE en San Diego. #migra #vigilancia change.org/p/tell-city-...

San Diego has already spent millions on Flock's network of AI-driven ALPR cameras. Local coalition @sandiegotrust.bsky.social is calling on the city to reject this oppressive surveillance system and instead invest in essential services.
