‘You Will Not Speak on #Flock Tonight’: County Commissioner Refuses to Let Residents Opposing Flock Speak at Meeting

A County Commissioner in #NorthCarolina refused to let dozens of residents speak opposing Flock #surveillance at a public meeting this week, instead forcing the group to designate one single spokesperson.

“How many people are here for public comment dealing with license plate readers AKA Flock?,” Michael Garrison, the chairman of the Madison County Board of Commissioners began the public meeting by saying. Nearly everyone in the audience’s hand went up. “Probably most everybody. Per our county policy, I’m going to respectfully ask that you guys take a few minutes to converse with each other, designate one person to speak … we’ll move forward with only one person, whoever that happens to be.”

“What? No. We all want to speak on this,” someone in the crowd said; others can be heard trying to object as well.

Pretty much the state of U.S. government at the moment…

County commissioner: take a few minutes to converse with each other, designate one person to speak. We’ll move forward with only one person, whoever that happens to be.

Citizen: what? No. We all want to speak on this.

County commissioner: you will not speak on Flock tonight. We’re not going to engage in this back-and-forth conversation.

“The Madison County Board of Commissioners and Madison County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for comment.”

#LENSING

These municipalities are #ALLIN on #Flock and it shows. My partner told a city here that he would not work for them due to their use of Flock and they LAUGHED at him.

That role has been open over three months. They do not realize that, of all, middle tier workers in technology are never going to willingly work for this kind of surveillance machine.

They hope to apply coercive pressure by using LLM/AI to drive you into lower paying higher extraction labor.

They'll choke.🖖 😀

Giving police this much data is like leaving a fat kid alone in a candy store.They are going to use it. Officers have been arrested multiple times for using Flock systems to track ex-partners, activists, and journalists.

Morning! Catching the sunrise here in Boston, MA. The plane is here. Time for another journey representing the Rocky Linux project. This time we are heading to Flock to Fedora 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

See you at Flock!
