Costa Mesa's Flock cameras:1️⃣ How it started: In 2022, the original Flock contract was approved by the City Manager for $98,000, conveniently just $2,000 under the threshold that requires City Council approval (i.e. a public hearing and transparency). 2️⃣ What happened last night: After 3 hours of public comment asking to drop the contract, Council voted to have the city attorney "tinker" with it and return in 3 months. Only one council member moved to cancel (i.e. our voice was ignored).3️⃣ The hypocrisy: We were told these cameras help victims of domestic violence. Meanwhile, this item was only on the agenda because a CMPD officer was found guilty of using Flock to stalk his romantic partners (i.e. hurt women).4️⃣ The on going threat: Tinkering with contract won't protect us from data sharing, federal immigration overreach, or warrantless tracking. The data is getting recorded even if CMPD isn't using it.But this isn't the end. Multiple council seats are up for grabs this election, and the contract expires April 2027. We will be back.No dragnet surveillance in a democracy. No to Flock.#costamesa #orangecounty #deflock #iceout by @50501oc

[Update: On Wednesday, July 22, despite strong community opposition, Costa Mesa City Council members voted 6–1 to keep the city’s contract with Flock until it expires in April 2027, when they plan to renegotiate certain terms and clean up specific contract language.]Call for Public Comment: Tell the City Council To DeFlock Costa Mesa Costa Mesa could be the first city in Orange County to end its contract with Flock Safety, joining several cities and police departments across California that are ending their ties with the surveillance technology company and suspending the use of its automated license plate reader cameras in response to growing public pressure and privacy concerns. Join local immigrants’ rights groups in person to call on the @cityofcostamesa City Council to vote to cancel the city’s contract with Flock and stop mass surveillance in Costa Mesa. You do not have to be a resident to make a public comment. If you work, shop, commute, or go to school in Costa Mesa, you are part of the community and can help keep it safe!📅 Tuesday, July 21🕒 6 p.m.📍 Costa Mesa City Hall (77 Fair Dr., Costa Mesa) by @50501oc
