Flock cameras

Said he feels less safe being watched, questioned why cameras are in parks, and urged focus on community-building over surveillance.

Called the camera network a 'digital prison' and asked council to stop expansion, cancel renewals, and remove existing cameras.

Said nationwide data-sharing was restored in 2023 without the city knowing for three years, cited security vulnerabilities and Fourth Amendment precedent, and asked the city to cancel the contracts.

Detailed security research findings — hardcoded passwords, outdated operating systems, and stolen logins sold on criminal forums — disputing Flock's security claims.

Argued Flock's benefits don't outweigh misuse examples, data-sharing changes, and security failures, and urged council to end the contracts and address root causes of crime like poverty and lack of opportunity.

Apologized for earlier tone, thanked the city for finishing Waggoner Road, and cited contract section 4.4 allowing Flock to share data, urging council to disable the cameras while exiting the contract.

Spoke in favor of the cameras, saying there's no Fourth Amendment issue on public roads, abuse should be investigated swiftly, and the contract should be reviewed and renegotiated rather than scrapped.

Called Flock surveillance unconstitutional and a waste of money, arguing investment in youth programs reduces crime better, and noted Cleveland and LAPD recently dropped Flock.

Said council ignored his emails, produced 500 pages of warrantless search records through a court threat, and demanded the cameras be removed.

Argued Flock likely violates the Fourth Amendment, citing court cases, documented security vulnerabilities, and misuse by officers in other states.
