“Despite repeated assurances of strict protocols and privacy safeguards, the Mountain View Police Department disclosed this week that it had inadvertently violated its own policies and allowed hundreds of unauthorized law enforcement agencies to search information captured by the city’s license plate cameras for more than a year.”

Yeah, this is why you don’t even BEGIN to install surveillance tech when the data is actually owned by a third party. Because that makes it profitable for the third party to sell surveillance data.

WRITE AND CALL YOUR CITY REPRESENTATIVES and demand that they take down these Flock cameras.
