Good news: my city council representative for #Sunnyvale #SantaClaraCounty #sfba #California has responded to my comments about my displeasure of using #Flock cameras in Sunnyvale. She acknowledges that many city residents were unhappy with the city’s unanimous vote to continue using Flock ALPR despite abuses, based on “staff recommendation”.

Anyway, now that I have my councilmember’s attention, I’ll try to have a discussion with her about why I’m unhappy about it. Apparently, the city council appars to have overruled some councilmembers’ request to have a public hearing, and took a vote without public comment, which sounds pretty fishy to me.
I encourage others in Sunnyvale (and #SantaClara and #Cupertino and #SanJose and other cities that still use Flock) to contact their city represntatives to voice their displeasure.

A heated debate over surveillance and public safety is unfolding in Sunnyvale, as residents fear license plate reader cameras could enable mass tracking — while city officials said the technology is critical to stopping crime.
I finished filling out my ballot for the #SantaClaraCounty #sfba #California mid-year elections.
WOW that was a long list of candidates!

“The county alleges that Meta’s internal systems flag ads that are likely scams but allow some to run for a higher price instead of stopping them, according to the lawsuit.”
