@nbcchicago: During a July city council meeting, Chetek Police Chief Ron Ambrozaitis slammed critics of the city’s Flock cameras, saying, “I ought to do background checks on half the people that make comments.” Ambrozaitis, who was accused by a constituent of improperly installing the surveillance cameras without city approval, denied any wrongdoing and said the only time the data was accessed was during a demonstration. The city later deactivated its social media pages, citing threats against city officials related to the Flock cameras. #wisconsin #chetekwisconsin #flock #flockcamera
How DARE we, the public, NOT want a PRIVATE COMPANY to record our every moves

simultaneously says he will not do his job, while also threatening citizens with background checks because he's upset. He is proving why flock is a problem.

100% of you carry around a cell phone that tracks your location, monitors your personal information, and listens to every conversation and text message. By a third party lol. But Flock cameras are the problem lol

What I heard is that he runs background checks on people he doesn’t like and now he’s going to add people that criticize flock to that list. Abuse of power.
