@kotaterritory: Automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) are rapidly expanding across South Dakota, sparking a complex debate between public safety benefits and privacy concerns. Cities like Sioux Falls and Summerset are adopting Flock Safety cameras, which supporters say deter crime but civil liberties groups warn build a centralized, nationwide surveillance database. Meanwhile, private businesses in Rapid City are quietly installing their own ALPR networks, allowing police to access data feeds without traditional warrant requirements or public oversight. #SurveillanceState #PrivacyRights #FlockSafety #SouthDakotaNews

tomtheunruly :

Where are all the missing indigenous women?!

❌ Allan Love Jr ❌ :

And they will be removed and destroyed at the same time because Americans will not tolerate a surveillance state.

South Dakota!? What are we doing?! The powers at be are tracking us and masking it as crime watch! This is 1984- this is big brother watching us- this is fascism! And! They’re making us fill out comment cards before people can talk at a PUBLIC meeting! This is sooooooo many violations of our rights!

The more there are the more they become unconstitutional.

pilatesalexis :

There was just an interview I watched where the reporter investigated the illegal use of the cameras. Police officers were using the cameras to stalk women. Accessing the info whenever they wanted. 😡

DOG FACED WOMAN :

South Dakota loves to be surveilled despite the large number of “freedom loving patriots” that live here. It’s very embarrassing. How many of you have a Ring camera? QUICK.

Mac :

they shouldn’t be anywhere if the police will just do their job

Eli :

No one has ever said they wanted this. Whoever are on these councils need to be fired and replaced with people who actually listen to the people.

John Roach :

israel first???

TSC Breezy :

Once it reads your plate it puts you in a database that treats you like a criminal, meaning they can access that info anytime they want and find out where your went throughout the day, wait till the traffickers figure out how to hack and track their target home 🤣💯

OnlyCrayons :

I just heard they used the flock system to bust someone who bought weed in another state and brought it back to a different state. While yes wrong and illegal, where tf are all the missing kids.
