@theerikwaynereport: Across the United States, a growing backlash against Flock Safety's automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras has led to widespread protests and direct citizen action. Privacy advocates argue that the cameras create an unwarranted mass surveillance network that tracks the movements of everyday people, collecting billions of data points that are accessible by various law enforcement agencies. In response to these privacy concerns, residents in multiple states have taken matters into their own hands to disable the devices. Protesters have resorted to creative obstruction tactics, such as blocking the camera lenses with cardboard boxes attached to poles, paint-bombing the devices, covering them with 3D-printed objects, and even physically dismantling them. Concurrently, dozens of city governments have started deactivating the cameras or canceling their contracts entirely due to mounting public pressure over surveillance creep and data misuse. ​ ​#PrivacyRights #MassSurveillance #FlockSafety #CivilLiberties #TechNews
