@mayorprotemmanuelchavez says he voted to keep Costa Mesa’s Flock contract because he believes the cameras have helped solve heinous crimes and bring peace to families who have lost loved ones.But he also acknowledged residents’ concerns about living in a surveillance state—and admitted he is “very uncomfortable” with the fact that 170 people have access to Flock in Costa Mesa.His position? Keep the contract for now, try to address the concerns, and cancel it if Flock refuses to make changes.But that raises a bigger question: How much surveillance is too much? And how do we make sure residents have a meaningful voice in decisions that impact our privacy and our communities?We’re glad these questions are being asked. The community showed up, the meeting was heavily attended, and as Mayor John Stephens said, the public comments were virtually 100% in opposition.These conversations matter—and so does knowing what the people representing your community are saying and how they’re voting. We’ll continue doing our due diligence to keep our communities informed and make sure residents have access to the information they need to hold their elected officials accountable. by @ocindivisible

@cityofcostamesa Mayor John Stephens said he has never seen an issue where virtually 100% of public commenters shared the same position!That position was clear: cancel Flock.He acknowledged that residents’ trust in the police department has been harmed, questioned why the original contract was not publicly discussed, and noted that it came in just below the threshold requiring public review.Then he voted to keep Flock…..Listening to the community means more than recognizing their unanimous opposition. It means acting on it.#CostaMesa #CancelFlock #FlockSafety #CommunityOverSurveillance #Transparency by @ocindivisible

Costa Mesa residents made it clear: we do not want Flock surveillance in our city.Over 100 community members, advocates, and local leaders showed up and spoke with one voice: cancel the Flock contract. But the City Council voted 6–1 to keep Flock, choosing small contract changes over what the public actually demanded.Councilwoman Arlis Reynolds was the only vote to cancel the contract. She also raised important questions about how the original agreement was approved without real community discussion. Because the first contract came in under $100,000, it avoided the public disclosure and comment process that larger contracts require.That may be the process—but it is not transparency. And it is not how decisions that impact our privacy, safety, and neighborhoods should be made.We’re grateful for Councilwoman Reynolds for standing with the community, and proud of every person who showed up, spoke out, and refused to be ignored.Our safety does not come from more surveillance. It comes from investing in our communities, our youth, housing, care, and the things people actually need.The people have spoken. Costa Mesa needs to listen.#CostaMesa #masssurveillance #CancelFlock #Flock #ALPR by @ocindivisible

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 @ocindivisible
