Deflock Yakima

Are you a part of the "silent majority" city council wants to hear from? On Nov 2, at 5:30pm, Yakima City Council is discussing Flock 24/7 live feed video cameras. Will you stay silent? Show up, take the mic, and protect our privacy before it is too late! #deflockyakima #surveillanceisntsafety

"They don't need you to like these cameras. They don't need you to trust them. They just need you to stop noticing them. They need you to believe they're another inevitable piece of infrastructure that you have no power to question. They want you to give up." #surveillance #alpr #flock #ring

Via a records request, a stay-at-home mom got back 119 photos associated with her license plate as captured by Flock cameras. 11 of the cars were not even hers! 🤯 Not the same make, not the same model, or even the same color. But the system captured her license plate as those cars!! NoALPRs.com 🚫

It had guardrails. They broke everyone. The cameras are coming down. 1819news.com/news/item/we... #Flock #Axon #Surveillance #AxonAxoff #ALPR #AI #News #Technology #Privacy #Politics

@Julietpotrykus says the “silent majority” isn't making itself known, while dismissing what the MAJORITY of speakers who have ACTUALLY been showing up to council mtgs have to say & calling our comments "reflexive" and "agenda-based topical feedback" relating to immigration. City Council Tue, 5:30pm.

U.S. District Judge Sara E. Hill ruled that police pulling a month's worth of vehicle tracking data from Flock and ALPR databases without a warrant is unconstitutional. The judge called passive, long-term location tracking "constitutionally problematic". #deflockyakima #PrivacyRights #CivilLiberties

Pandemic recovery checklist: Support small businesses? ❌ Aid public health? ❌ Fund a mass surveillance dragnet? Bingo! ✅ Shoutout to Yakima leadership for deciding that ARPA funds are best spent watching us drive to the grocery store. Make your voice heard at City Hall on Tuesday at 5:30pm. 🗣️

Nothing says “family-friendly festival fun” quite like combat gear & surveillance trailers next to the funnel cake stand. The city & county spares no expense turning the Central WA State Fair into an occupied zone. Our leadership’s priorities couldn’t be clearer. #deflockyakima #fundourcommunities

City Council is rushing to pass rules that authorize "automated video analytics systems" for the 76 live-streaming surveillance cameras they already approved the County to install, all w/o prior public hearings or transparency w/ rules they don't even follow themselves. ❗️Show up Tues, 5:30pm.

Victory in Cle Elum, WA! 🏆 "The contract expired on Wednesday, and the city moved into a transition period to remove the cameras. Mayor Matthew Lundh said public works crews started placing trash bags over the devices to keep them from being used." #deflock #surveillance #alpr #flock

"crime rates don’t depend simply on the presence or absence of #Flock cameras or any other single enforcement technology. Crime is a complex social problem, and its ebbs and flows are driven by many complex factors that differ greatly from place to place." #deflock #surveillance #alpr #flockaganda

Should law enforcement be better monitoring to prevent destruction of Flock cameras? Vote yes or no. ¿Deberían las autoridades supervisar mejor para evitar la destrucción de las cámaras Flock? Vote sí o no. www.nbcrightnow.com/vote/

🚨 "If #Flock appears before the subcommittee, the senators who might be grilling Flock on its practices are the same ones who are putting support behind a bill that would expand, entrench, and federalize the worst of those practices." 📄 footnote4a.org/blog/corca-h... #deflock #surveillance #corca

#Surveillance for thee, but not for me! 🤔 "They are not opposing #Flock cameras being used on you. They are not opposed to you being watched or surveilled all the time. They simply don't want that same tool that they are using on you on a regular basis, turned back on themselves." #deflock #alpr

Únete a #DeFlockYakima para la primera charla de #FlockTalks, sobre la vigilancia, #ALPRs y lo que significan para nuestra comunidad. 👀

Join #DeFlockYakima for our 1st #FlockTalks about surveillance, #ALPRs, & what they mean for our community. 👀 Flock Talks is part of YCA’s People’s Assembly series, where we break down the systems shaping our lives, ask questions together, & build the knowledge communities need to organize.

When prompted to enter a reason for searching Flock surveillance data, some cops just mashed keyboard buttons. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

⚠️ "Flock is not alone in their donations to these orgs. The list of companies that have donated reads like an authoritarian dictators list for Santa: Axon, Motorola, Skydio, FirstNet, Peregrine, Cellebrite, Pen Link, Fog Data Science, LexisNexis, Lexipol, Amazon Web Services, Oracle, & many more."

Yakima County continues to push their devices and mass surveillance agenda across the region in cities like Yakima and Toppenish. Come to Yakima City Hall tonight at 5:30pm or speak up though Zoom. 🗣️ The Toppenish City Council will discuss the City's ALPR program during a meeting on 9/28.

Mass surveillance is incompatible with a free society, and especially so when the people with access to this data are treating it like a joke. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

SURVEILLANCE ISN'T SAFETY, no matter how hard they try to spin it! If you're not doing anything wrong, why are they surveilling you? Free countries don't track and surveil their citizens. www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/150-l...

Flock Safety cameras inflict harm in many ways, compromising community trust by creating invasive surveillance networks while draining vital public funds. Voice your concerns @ Yakima City Hall on Sept. 15th at 5:30pm. You can also participate via Zoom or email the council @ ccouncil2@yakimawa.gov.

Que el portal de transparencia no te engañe. 🛑 Los portales de Flock suelen son simples paneles de relaciones públicas y no una supervisión real. Disfrazan la cruda realidad de una vigilancia masiva con AI poco fiable y el intercambio de datos defectuoso usando la excusa de la confianza pública.

Don't let the "transparency portal" fool you. 🛑 Flock portals are often just curated PR dashboards, not true oversight. They mask the reality of faulty, unreliable mass AI surveillance and data sharing under the guise of public trust. transparency.flocksafety.com/yakima-wa-pd
