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.

✊🏼 Eureka Unanimously Rejects License Plate-Reading Cameras Proposal "Cameras like these make folks easier to find and target, and a Flock contract would put their data in the hands of out-of-state agencies we have no control over.” - Eureka Resident lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/feb/5/n...

Been talking with city leaders/staffers recently & all want money for good ideas, like the below need for $1.1M to increase fire safety (gift link). we at @sandiegotrust.bsky.social propose redirecting $2M smart streetlights & license plate funding. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/05/31/w...

Denver rejects contract expansion for license plate recognition cameras in the city, reports Denver 7 ✊🏼 "What I've learned in doing that diligence has really given me pause. This is a form of mass surveillance technology" - Sarah Parady, Councilmember-at-large www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

We need your signatures! Tell City Council to reject Flock ALPR funding for San Diego. What should they be paying with that $2 million instead? bit.ly/trust-sign25 Share widely!

A Texas cop searched the Flock license plate camera network nationwide for a woman who got an abortion reports @404mediaco www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-... San Diego pays $2 million a year to expose drivers to these Flock-enabled searches.

@404mediaco reports that ICE taps into nationwide AI-enabled camera network, data shows. www.404media.co/ice-taps-int... You know who has Flock? San Diego. Flock ALPR tracks our locations through our cars. We have no meaningful, independent audits to see where our data really goes.

Meet Lucky Aden, youth organizer at PANA San Diego, part of ‪@sandiegotrust.bsky.social‬. 👋🏼 She calls on City Council to take the millions invested in surveillance and reinvest it into libraries, public restrooms, and youth. Where should we invest $2 million SD pays for Flock? 🤔

200 ppl spoke over 3 hrs to SD City Council about Mayor Todd Gloria's budget, calling for parks and libraries to be restored for real safety: AC, wifi, safe study spaces, activities. Many called for defunding surveillance How many library days can a $2.5 million Flock bill fund?

San Diego spends $2.5 million a year on Flock ALPR, exposing data about us to feds, while they close parks and libraries for those who need it for AC, wifi, and actual safety. @sandiegotrust.bsky.social, Community Budget Alliance and so many others demanded safe places, not surveillance tonight.
