Americans are pissed the fuck off about Flock not just bc the CEO is a lying shitbag and the product is spyware Flock literally broke the brains of law enforcement around the country. opioid settlement cash. AYFKM bsky.app/profile/pegg...

oh looky, disgraced Texas mafia that just kicked millions off the voter rolls also gave #Flock a reacharound via car insurance you’ll have to forgive me for making comparisons to Ronald DeSantis’ fund-diversion scandal in Florida www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-n... bsky.app/profile/defl...

if I were a resident of Santa Clarita trust and believe I'd go do a bunch of MOTS (Man on the Street) video interviews asking voters their thoughts on **100% Repub** city council jamming through yet another #Flock contract ain't nothing "conservative" about spyware bsky.app/profile/ther...

Council member Jason Gibbs approved the $500,000 contract (I think the whole council did) but he is also currently running for US House seat CA-27 as a Republican.

since I'm all about solutions, have a look at this visual database from @ij.org tracking which cities pulled the plug on surveillance dickhead mafia keep demanding reps cancel and your handiwork could show up here! 🧢 @am-mccarthy.bsky.social @awkword.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/awkw...

Communities across the country have been fighting Flock and other ALPR spy camera companies. A new project allows you to track which towns and cities have canceled their contracts ij.org/institute-fo... @ij.org

Thanks Will, the video suggestion is a really good one and I think Gibbs knows it's a losing issue for him. It raises a really interesting question to which I don't know the answer. CA-27 has a huge LE population. I haven't seen much wrt how LE view flock when they're the ones being watched.

My guess is their views vary depending upon the context in which they're asked. I have seen the same sort of scare mongering as the video above combined with false claims the LASD was defunded. The Gibbs campaign depends on not publicly stating his position on many issues. That's unacceptable.

very interesting wrinkle that Santa Clarita area is dominated by law enforcement. and yeah, I'm sure Gibbs wants tight controls on that stuff -- they all want to occupy private bubbles where they remain unchallenged
