The police claim they own the data. Where do they store the data? On a local server? They in fact do not own the data. Flock keeps all the data, and sells the police access to the data, and the police access to the data only lasts 30 days. When our police say they own the data, and it is only available for 30 days, what they are saying is that they went into the flock app and clicked some boxes in the privacy settings.

Flock has been caught in multiple lies, both in general statements and in faulty contracts they make with local cities. They then turn around and sell the data to the highest bidder like Home Depot, Lowes, Palantir, ATF, ICE, and deep state security and marketing data brokers we have never heard of. It just gets worst and worst the more you look into it.

ICE has also been seen to access direct flock feeds in areas where ICE's access was banned, using a list serv to make requests from local buddy cops.

Do we really trust the IT security skills of our police officers over this kind of power? A half assed fishing scam will end up with everybodys houses getting robbed when they head over highway 20.

Communities have been successfully fighting back against this all over the U.S., and Fort Bragg is next!

Give law enforcement an opportunity to become criminal and they will take it

92% of the time. The other 8% will prosecute whistleblowers!

Lindy Peters likes the cameras, he likes rubber soccer fields too !

Why do we put up with this local bureaucracy? Because no one wants to be a bureaucrat among small thinkers when it’s” a nice day in the neighborhood !”

Who would dare challenge Lindy when he has these cameras to spy on political opponents?

Lindy is an expert based upon his lengthly experience .

Leadership is not earned by longevity, that helps only if you are on the right side of history.

This is a case of a really likable and fine person thinking he is a community leader because he put his time in. Which is no small thing. I only lasted 942 days as an elected Board Member of the Mendocino Coast Health Care District. In government it is not so easy to serve for as long as Lindy has. Why has he stuck not out ? I am sure it is a combination of loving his home town where his kids grew up and the good feeling one gets by being recognized everywhere. It is intoxicating . I love the feeling also. "Hello Paul" is nice to hear away from home. Makes you feel respected even when your ideas are rejected .

That lindy is at home with the spywere is not in tune with anyone I know. Lets get this technology gone !

....This is a local invasion of PRIVACY with NO accountability. These cameras are ILLEGAL, that's all that need be said. Who said ANYONE can spend our tax money on spying on private LOCAL parties moving around the city and county. I AM LIVID, I don't recognize my country anymore! What about the 4th Amendment?!!!....
